For anyone dealing with dry, cracked and callused heels, Walker’s ULTRA 25% Urea with Ceramides is a game-changer. Building upon the success of the original Walker’s 25% Urea formula, this updated version now includes three powerful ceramides (NP, AP, and EOP) to further enhance the moisturising and skin barrier functions. This new formulation offers superior hydration, improved skin resilience and better long-term foot care. Here’s why Walker’s ULTRA 25% Urea with Ceramides is the ultimate solution for treating tough heel skin.
What’s New in Walker’s ULTRA 25% Urea with Ceramides?
Ceramides are naturally occurring lipids that play a crucial role in maintaining healthy skin by forming the structural matrix that holds skin cells together. In the skin’s outermost layers (epidermis and stratum corneum), ceramides act as a "glue" that helps retain moisture and protect against harmful environmental factors.
As we age or when dealing with certain skin conditions, the skin’s natural ceramide levels decrease, which can lead to dryness, cracking and reduced skin barrier function. Walker’s ULTRA 25% Urea with Ceramides solves this problem by adding three essential ceramides (NP, AP, and EOP) to the formulation. These ceramides work synergistically with 25% Urea, a well-known ingredient for its hydrating and healing properties, to repair and protect the skin.
Together, the Urea and Ceramides combine to provide deep hydration, soothe cracked heels and restore the skin’s natural barrier. With Walker’s ULTRA 25% Urea with Ceramides, you get a more powerful, skin-nourishing solution that strengthens your skin’s defenses and accelerates recovery.
How Walker’s ULTRA 25% Urea with Ceramides Works: The Science Behind the Formula
-
Urea: Naturally found in the skin, urea is a humectant, meaning it draws moisture from the environment and locks it into the skin. Urea is also known for its anti-fungal and anti-microbial properties, which makes it an ideal ingredient for addressing dry, cracked heels and calluses.
-
Ceramides (NP, AP, EOP): Ceramides are lipids that form a significant portion of the skin's protective barrier. By supplementing the urea with ceramides, Walker’s ULTRA 25% Urea offers even more potent skin barrier repair. These ceramides help prevent trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL), which is crucial for maintaining long-lasting hydration and resilience. They also help the skin recover from damage caused by excessive dryness or environmental stress.
This non-greasy, fragrance-free formula is perfect for those who want to soften tough, cracked heels and restore smoothness without the sticky residue left behind by other creams.
