and by the sound of it, a considerable amount of Urea. Urea is in many skin
care products and was in a prescription skin creme my mum used in the 70s.

I wonder if a non-cortisone urea creme would work as well - or at least
nearly as well?
i've been using some expensive products lately because they're
fragrance-free among other reasons. I was considering one of there body
