I make a similar hand and foot softener like the $ store cream. for $3 you can make a coolwhip bowl full. First melt in the microwave 1/2 small jar of vasiline after it is liquid quickly stir in 1/2 jar vitamin E cream and 1/2 bottle pink baby lotion. I was told to use only the pink baby lotion. I been using this for years and my hands and heels are very soft for a 61 yr old farm girl. also helps the elbows. I use all products and brands from the dollar store. Good luck. Mary
