Details
A daily, lightweight body lotion built for rough, dry, or tight skin on shins, forearms, elbows, knees, and heels. It moisturises through two mechanisms: urea at 5 percent binds water deep within the stratum corneum, while four plant-derived lipids form a breathable barrier that holds that moisture in place throughout the day.
- Honest water figure: This lotion is 65.45 percent purified water. Instead of hiding that behind pictures of nuts and butters, every ingredient is listed below with its exact percentage.
- Urea active at 5 percent: Urea is a skin-identical Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) that the stratum corneum naturally produces. At 5 percent it hydrates, softens rough patches, and restores barrier function without the flaking or peeling that higher concentrations cause.
- 100 percent silicone-free lipid barrier: Replaces synthetic dimethicone entirely with plant squalane (2.5 percent, olive or sugarcane derived), cold-pressed shea butter (2.5 percent), high-linoleic sunflower seed oil (2.5 percent), and fractionated coconut lipids (5.0 percent). These are skin-compatible oils that absorb without pilling, stickiness, or bioaccumulation.
- Urea stabilised against ammonia drift: Urea hydrolyses into ammonia in unbuffered water, causing off-odours and skin sting. The formula fixes bulk pH at 5.0 with a stoichiometric sodium lactate and lactic acid buffer, neutralising any emerging ammonia into odourless ammonium lactate.
- How to use: Dispense 2 to 4 pumps (4 to 8 ml) and smooth over arms, legs, elbows, or rough patches. For maximum hydration, apply within three minutes of bathing while skin is still slightly damp. Avoid broken or freshly shaved skin as urea stings on open abrasions.
- The right lotion for you: Built for normal to severely dry, rough, or flaky skin. For deeper barrier repair with ceramides, choose the Barrier Repair Balm. For a lighter daily face moisturiser, choose the Everyday Face Cream.
- Packaging: Type III amber glass bottles (200 ml and 400 ml) on a lockable metal-clad lotion pump. Amber glass filters UV light to protect tocopherol and the plant lipids from light degradation. Secondary packaging is an unlaminated white-top kraft carton. The 1 L refill pouch provides 2.5 to 5 bottle refills and saves about 72 percent packaging versus single-use rigid bottles.

- Sodium Phytate (Rice bran extract)
- 0.10 percent; plant-derived chelator from rice bran phytic acid; strips trace calcium, magnesium, and iron ions from tap water, softening the wash water and boosting preservation
What is left out, and what took its place
- Silicones (Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone)
- None. Replaced entirely by four plant lipids: squalane (2.50%), shea butter (2.50%), refined sunflower seed oil (2.50%), and fractionated coconut oil (5.00%). These provide equal water retention and a silky finish without bioaccumulation or pilling
- Mineral oil and petrolatum
- None. Petroleum-derived occlusive oils replaced by the same four plant lipids above, which are biologically compatible with skin sebum
- Parabens
- None. Replaced by the Care house multi-hurdle system: Phenoxyethanol (0.70%), Caprylyl Glycol (0.40%), Sodium Benzoate (0.30%), Ethylhexylglycerin (0.10%), and Sodium Phytate (0.10%)
- Potassium Sorbate
- Deliberately removed. Potassium sorbate oxidises in the presence of unsaturated lipids (squalane, sunflower oil) and causes yellow-brown bottle discolouration within 24 months. The multi-hurdle system above is both more effective and colour-stable
- Isothiazolinones (MIT, CMIT)
- None. Swapping to sensitising isothiazolinone preservatives is an industry shortcut we reject; they are documented skin sensitisers at any use level in leave-on products
- Fragrance and essential oils
- None. No artificial parfum, no masking fragrance, and no essential oils. The faint natural aroma is from shea butter and the plant lipids only. Screened for all 26 declarable fragrance allergens: not detected
- PEGs and synthetic emulsifiers
- None. All emulsifiers are PEG-free: Cetearyl Glucoside is an Ecocert APG; Glyceryl Stearate is a pure non-SE mono/diglyceride with no ethylene oxide addition
- Dyes and colourants
- None. The off-white cream colour is the natural colour of the plant lipid emulsion. Zero dyes, lakes, or pigments
- What we will not claim
- Preservative-free. This lotion contains water and is used in warm, humid bathrooms; it requires proven preservation to remain microbiologically safe across its 24-month shelf life
Use, pack and shelf life
- Skin type
- Normal to severely dry, rough, flaky, or tight skin; particularly effective on shins, forearms, elbows, knees, and heels
- Not this one if
- Your skin has deeply fissured callous heels requiring 10 to 20 percent urea (use a prescription-strength urea product). Avoid freshly shaved, cracked-open, or broken skin as urea stings on abrasions; allow wounds to heal first
- How much
- 2 to 4 pump strokes (about 4 to 8 ml) spread over both arms, legs, elbows, or rough patches. One full-body application uses approximately 6 to 8 ml
- When
- Once or twice daily. For maximum hydration, apply within three minutes after bathing while skin is still slightly damp so urea can draw ambient moisture into the stratum corneum
- Cost per use
- About 6 ml per full-body application: 200 ml provides approx 33 uses (Rs 11.52 per use); 400 ml provides approx 66 uses (Rs 9.85 per use); 1 L refill provides approx 166 uses (Rs 7.11 per use)
- Measured pH
- 4.90 to 5.10 on every batch, held by the sodium lactate and lactic acid buffer system to match skin's natural acidic mantle and prevent urea from hydrolysing into ammonia
- Format and pack
- Smooth opaque off-white lotion in Type III amber glass bottles (200 ml and 400 ml) fitted with a 2.0 ml lockable metal-clad lotion pump (brushed aluminium collar, isolated SS316 spring). Secondary pack is a 350 gsm white-top kraft folding carton. The 1 L eco-refill pouch (PET/aluminium/nylon/PE multilayer barrier) provides 2.5 to 5 refills and saves approximately 72 percent packaging by weight
