I work in LTC and have for about 20 years! This product is great as a skin barrier for incontient patients as well as softening dry hard skin....and a little goes a long way....it is also great for for 1st degree burns that are healing....would not use on diabetic patients since this product is not sterile.....also great to use as a massager for those with reddened areas on feet/heels that have some slight abrasions from sheets.

When I was a CNA we used this in the nursing home. Patients could not believe what it was really meant to be used for. Its the best

we use this in the nursing home and it is great. The residents love it. It looks better than a tube sittin by their bedside.

Great skin barrier. When it snows, it really keeps your hands moist...

Never seen this. The price is right. I wonder if it will work for the very dry skin that we get here in NV?
