Abstract: Provided is an improved therapeutic skin care preparation that combines traditional moisturizer components including glycerin, aloe vera gel, beeswax, titanium dioxide and fragrance, thickeners including sodium carrageenan, and antiseptic ingredients including tincture of iodine and melaleuca alternifolia. By varying the proportions of these ingredients, skin preparations suitable for particular body areas may be produced. The skin preparation not only performs the traditional functions of treating or preventing the effects on skin of drying, chapping or aging but further serves as a healing agent for minor skin irritation or sores so often associated with such conditions.
