Based on available information, it is generally not recommended to use heel balm on your hands.
Here's why:
-
Different Skin Thickness: The skin on your feet, especially your heels, is significantly thicker than the skin on your hands.
-
Concentrated Formula: Heel balms are formulated to penetrate and treat this thicker skin. According to a reference, a Foot and Heel Balm formulation is too concentrated for use on hands.
-
Potential Residue: Due to the high concentration, using heel balm on your hands may leave a thick, white, sticky residue.
| Feature | Heel Skin | Hand Skin |
|---|---|---|
| Thickness | Much thicker | Thinner |
| Balm Formulation | Highly concentrated | Less concentrated needed |
| Potential Result | Effective penetration | Sticky, white residue |
Using a hand cream specifically designed for the thinner skin on your hands is a better option.
