It healed all those annoying little painful cracks before they got to be larger, even more painful cracks. So of course the company stopped making it. :evil: I've never found anything since then that worked nearly as well.
I got a little solid beeswax and lanolin (and some other ingredients) hand cream block in a tin at a store in Burnsville NC when I was there. You take it out of the tin and rub it between your hands. I have it at home, and don't recall the name, but there is a website. I'll look it up when I get home and post it here. It really worked great for me, too. But, it is now in the bottom of one of my other purses :cry: and I'll have to try to find it to get the name. But it's really good stuff!! ;-)
