A foot-specific OTC skin-protectant cream with 30% white petrolatum and 3% dimethicone, fragrance-free and formulated without lanolin or oils.

Fit signals

very dry or cracked intact feet where exact barrier-active percentages are useful, fragrance- or lanolin-sensitive buyers comparing foot-specific skin protectants

Potential constraints

buyers seeking a high-strength urea/AHA/salicylic-acid callus formula, diabetic foot wounds, ulcers or infected fissures requiring clinical care

Key tradeoff: Exceptionally clear OTC barrier percentages and sensitivity profile, but it is a protectant/moisturizer rather than a strong keratolytic.

This is a factual fit-and-tradeoff summary, not a product recommendation. Formula, device and brand claims remain manufacturer claims unless the cited source is explicitly regulatory or independent testing.

Formula profile

Gold Bond publishes two OTC skin-protectant actives for this foot cream: white petrolatum 30% and dimethicone 3%. The formula also includes glycerin, aloe, allantoin, shea extract, jojoba esters and ceramide NG.

The manufacturer describes it as fragrance-free, with no lanolin or oils. Those are useful comparison facts for people who want a foot-specific barrier cream but are trying to avoid common fragrance or lanolin sensitivity variables.

This is primarily a barrier/protection formula rather than a high-strength urea or acid keratolytic. Its exact OTC active percentages make it unusually straightforward to compare with ointments such as petrolatum, Aquaphor and CeraVe Healing Ointment.

Diabetes context

The product name targets diabetic dry skin, but that does not turn routine moisturizer use into treatment for a diabetic foot wound. Broken skin, ulcers, infection signs, neuropathy or circulation problems belong in clinical care rather than routine moisturizer comparison.

Source labels preserve provenance. Manufacturer specifications, ingredient lists and performance claims are not treated as independent clinical evidence; regulatory records and independent measurements are identified separately when available.

Safety first

What should make you slow down?

The label says to ask a doctor if symptoms worsen or persist; diabetes-related foot wounds, deep fissures, neuropathy or poor circulation warrant appropriate clinical assessment rather than cosmetic self-treatment.
