Based on visual inspection/palpation, the keratin condition became ”Good /Slightly Good” in all monitors and a good, smooth and health sole condition was achieved in 70% of results.

The lotion of Baby foot contains fruit acid, which penetrates the accumulated, old skin layers, acting on the adhesive area between older and newer skin layers and promoting the exfoliation of the old dead skin cell layers. The result of this survey showed that Baby Foot supported the removal of the dead skin cells and that it might improve the sole condition via this mechanism.
