Question 1

what are the ingredients?

Accepted Answer

Petrolatum (Special Fraction), Cyclomethicone, Microcrystalline wax.
I looked at 25 different products online and this was the only one with a 5 star rating. I had a bad callous on one foot that I treated with Theraplex. I first used an Amope rechargeable skin smoother on the callous which worked excellent. Then theraplex, usually putting on socks right away. Later that day or overnight with socks and your feet are like new. 1-2 times a week initially and then 1-2 times a month to maintain smooth healthy skin on your feet. I highly recommend theraplex for any rough skin.

Question 2

Does anyone use this on their face?

Accepted Answer

I use this on my 2 year old daughter's skin head to toe including her face.  It's VERY thick and works best after her bath or in the mornings we spray light mist water on before application. It helps to hold the water in (she has pretty severe eczema) but this is the only thing that helps retain the moister and keep out irritants.  BUT imagine it's like putting chapstick all over your face.  It helps but takes a little bit to not feel so gooky.  I hope that makes sense. It's not greasy and does work, just know it's not like normal moisturizer and depending on your skin type will determine if it works.  but I DO HIGHLY recommend it if you'd tried everything else (like we did!) :-)

Question 3

Are any of the ingredients animal-derived?

Accepted Answer

No.  But petroleum based, like Vaseline and paraffin.  I’m allergic to lanolin so this is a good emmolient for me.

Question 4

What is the difference between theraplex emollient and theraplex healing emollient?

Accepted Answer

I'm sorry I can't give you a specific answer about the difference as I have only used the Theraplex emollient. I will say this about the product I used. Because of some eczema many years ago on my foot I ended up with a terrible callous around the heal area of my foot due to scratching the itch associated with it. After many years it seemed there was no way to get rid of this awful callous. I then began using an Amope which is a battery powered handheld foot file. After using the Amope I would then use the Theraplex Emollient. By the time the jar was half empty to my amazement the callous was all but gone. Hope this helps you.
