صابون العناية بالقدم

Soften the skin first. Use this at the end of a shower or bath, once the skin has had a few minutes to soften. Dry hard skin resists everything.

Rub the bar directly in gentle strokes. Wet the bar and the skin, then stroke it across the heels, the balls of the feet and anywhere the skin feels hard. Let the scrub particles do the work rather than pressing hard. You can lather the bar and wash with foam instead for a lighter pass.

Do not scrub. The seeds are coarse, and force adds nothing except the risk of taking off more than you intended.

Rinse thoroughly, particularly between the toes, then dry properly. Drying between the toes matters more in a humid climate than most people realise.

Follow with a foot cream while the skin is still slightly damp. This is where the result comes from. Clearing the hard skin without moisturising afterwards gets you half the job.

How often. Once or twice a week. Pelican are specific about this, and more is genuinely not better.

Where not to use it. Not on the face, not on delicate or thin skin, not on mucous membranes, and not anywhere the skin is broken or sore.

For external use on the feet only. Not suitable for anyone with weak or sensitive skin. Use once or twice a week at most, stroking gently rather than scrubbing. Do not use on the face, on delicate or thin skin, or on mucous membranes. Do not use on skin with wounds, swelling, eczema or other abnormalities. Discontinue use if redness, swelling, itching or irritation occurs during or after use, including after sun exposure, and consult a dermatologist if symptoms persist. Avoid contact with eyes; if the soap enters the eyes, rinse immediately without rubbing, and consult an ophthalmologist if any sensation remains. If you have diabetes, reduced sensation in the feet or any circulatory condition, speak to your doctor before using an abrasive foot product. Contains botanical ingredients, so slight variation in colour or scent may occur without affecting quality. White specks may be visible on the surface, which is normal. Not edible. Keep out of reach of infants and young children. Store away from direct sunlight and extremes of temperature.

Is this foot soap suitable for sensitive skin?

No. Pelican state clearly that it should not be used by anyone with weak or sensitive skin. The scrub is deliberately coarse, designed for the thick skin on the feet rather than for general body use.

How often should it be used?

Once or twice a week. The manufacturer is specific about this. Using it more often risks removing more skin than intended and leaving the feet sore.

Can it be used anywhere other than the feet?

No. It should not be used on the face, on delicate or thin skin, or on mucous membranes.

What makes the scrub so coarse?

Four hard seed powders: woodland strawberry seed, peach kernel, apricot seed and olive seed. These are considerably firmer than the konjac or sugar scrubs used in body products for thinner skin.

What are the fruit acids for?

Lactic, malic and citric acid soften the buildup of hard skin so the physical scrub can lift it away more easily. Acid and scrub together do more than either alone.

Does it help with foot odour?

It contains persimmon tannin, green tea leaf extract and zinc sulfate, all traditionally used in Japan for freshness. If odour persists despite good foot hygiene, it is worth speaking to a doctor, since it can have causes a soap will not address.

Should I use anything afterwards?

Yes. Follow with a foot cream while the skin is still slightly damp. Clearing hard skin without moisturising afterwards leaves the job unfinished.

Why are there white specks in the bar?

This is normal for the formulation and does not affect use.

What size is the bar?

80g.
