DIABETES AND NS8
• People with Diabetes have reduced sensation in their extremities, particularly in their feet
• Using physical abrasion, such as foot files and pumice stones, is not recommended.
• Skin may be removed unknowingly, which can lead to diabetic foot ulcers which in turn can lead to amputations.
• NS8 Heel Balm gently but effectively exfoliates thickened skin without the use of foot files.
• Skin provides a protective barrier against infection by secreting natural oils, such as sebum not only soften skin, but also maintain the normal pH balance to inhibit bacterial and fungal growth.
• NS8 Heel Balm is an intensive moisturising complex that contains Natural Moisturising Factors that are more easily absorbed and therefore more effective.
• NS8 Heel Balm Complex is the best choice for feet and heels affected by diabetes

NS8 Heel Balm is a cream that absorbs quickly and unlike thick ointment-like balms it spreads easily and is economical to use. It feels good and it works. You will feel the difference in just 1 day.
Many heel balms are very greasy and messy, they can make your feet slip on hard floors, slide in shoes and can even stain carpets and bed sheets. NS8 Heel Balm is different because it has a unique non-greasy formula that absorbs quickly and gives fast results. NS8 Heel Balm Complex gives you soft, smooth heels without the mess or fuss.
Podiatrists and diabetes educators recommend NS8 Heel Balm because it has built in exfoliators which means you do not have to use foot files or pumice stones to remove built up or thickened skin. This makes it particularly useful for people with diabetes. The AHAs will gently but effectively remove the dead skin, without the threat of taking off too much skin, which can lead to diabetic foot ulcers
NS8 also contains cooling, soothing and skin restoring ingredients which help repair damaged skin on feet and heels.
NS8 Heel Balm contains 15% Urea plus other coconut-based moisturisers.
Urea is a humectant (it is able to absorb moisture from the environment and draw it to the skin). It is also an emollient (that softens and smoothes the skin). NS8 does not rely solely on urea for its moisturising properties but is formulated with multiple moisturisers including urea, coconut triglycerides and allantoin. NS8 is synergistically formulated with a special blend of moisturisers which we think is a great combination, as it is fast absorbing, fast acting and has a better outcome.
Urea is a natural by-product, produced in mammalian systems when proteins are broken down. It is excreted in the urine of mammals, but the urea used as an ingredient in cosmetics and personal care products is a synthesised, natural ingredient and not animal derived.
We cannot disclose exact percentages, as we need to protect our formulation however, we can say that NS8 Heel Balm contains sufficient Lactic and Malic acid, to have a keratolytic and exfoliating effect that helps break down the build-up of thickened and calloused skin on the heels.
Yes, but we don’t suggest using it on your face.
NS8 may cause a temporary tingling feeling, but this should subside quickly. Due to the natural, ultra-low irritation formulation there should be very little or no irritation, however if you experience irritation, discontinue use.
Using NS8 Heel Balm should not be a concern during pregnancy, especially as it is formulated with natural ingredients, but if you are at all concerned please consult your doctor.
NS8 Heel Balm can be used during breastfeeding when applied as per our care instructions on our packaging. It must not be applied to the breast, but it is fine to be used your heels, feet, knees and elbows, while breast feeding.
Yes, NS8 Heel Balm is diabetes friendly and recommended by Diabetes Specialists and Educators, and also by Podiatrists.
No, NS8 Heel Balm contains Emu Oil (used for its anti-inflammatory and wound healing properties). Emu Oil is a by-product and emus are not slaughtered for this ingredient.
