Omi Brotherhood Menturm Cream U20 90g
Why you'll love it
Omi Brotherhood Menturm Cream U20 90g is a Japanese urea cream for very dry, rough and hardened skin, made by Omi Brotherhood (近江兄弟社). It contains 20% urea, along with vitamin E and dipotassium glycyrrhizinate. In Japan it is sold as an over-the-counter skin-softening treatment. It is made for cracked-looking heels, rough elbows and knees, and hands dried out by washing and housework. It is a practical everyday cream for anyone in Bangladesh whose hands and feet get rough from water, dust and open sandals.
Key Benefits
- Softens hard, thick skin: 20% urea helps soften rough, hardened skin on heels, elbows, knees and ankles.
- Deep moisture: Urea draws water into the outer layer of the skin and helps it hold that moisture.
- Soothes rough hands: Helps with chapped, rough hands from frequent washing, cooking and cleaning.
- Calms irritation: Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate is an anti-inflammatory ingredient that helps ease rough, irritated skin.
- Supports skin renewal: Vitamin E helps support circulation and healthy skin turnover.
- Helps very dry skin: It is also made for the very dry skin that often comes with age.
Key Ingredients & How It Works
- Urea (20.0g per 100g): A natural moisturising factor that pulls water into the skin's outer layer and softens hardened, rough skin.
- Tocopherol Acetate (Vitamin E, 0.5g per 100g): Helps support blood flow and the skin's natural renewal.
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate (0.5g per 100g): A licorice-derived ingredient that helps calm skin irritation.
- Liquid Paraffin & Isopropyl Myristate: Emollients that make the cream spread easily and help seal in moisture.
How it works: Rough, hard skin forms when the outer layer becomes dry and thick. Urea pulls water into this layer and loosens the hardened skin so it becomes softer and smoother over time. Vitamin E supports the skin's renewal, and dipotassium glycyrrhizinate helps calm irritation. Regular use helps rough areas feel softer and stay moisturised.
Skin Concern & Suitable For
- Best for dry, rough and hardened skin on the body.
- Ideal for cracked-looking or thick heels, dark, rough elbows and knees, and rough ankles.
- Good for chapped hands from washing dishes, laundry and other water work.
- Helpful for the very dry skin that many older adults have.
- Note: It is a body cream. It is not meant for the face around the eyes, or for broken or inflamed skin.
How to Use
- Clean the area: Wash and gently dry your hands, feet or the rough area.
- Take a small amount: Squeeze out a little cream.
- Massage in: Rub it onto the rough area until it is absorbed.
- Repeat daily: Apply several times a day, for example after washing your hands.
- Heel tip: For hard heels, apply a little more at bedtime and wear cotton socks overnight.
Important Suggestions
- Do not use it on cuts, cracks or open wounds. Urea can sting on broken skin.
- Avoid the eyes and mucous membranes, and do not use it on red, swollen or inflamed skin, or on skin that is peeling like a scab.
- Patch test first if you have sensitive skin or have reacted to skin products before.
- Stop using it if you notice redness, itching or a rash, and talk to a doctor or pharmacist.
- Use sunscreen on exposed areas. If you use it on your hands or arms during the day, apply sunscreen too, because Bangladesh's sun is strong all year.
- Store it well: Close the cap tightly and keep the jar in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight, out of reach of children.
