Marble Hill Soaps Develops New Foot Cream For Diabetics

Marble Hill Soaps in L'Derry has been assisted by Invest Northern Ireland in the development of a natural and allergen-free cream, PediSalve, especially for diabetic foot care.

The company, based at Skeoge Business Park, used an Invest NI Innovation Voucher in the development of the unique foot cream which is already being sold by Diabetes.co.uk as well as podiatrists, pharmacies and health stores in Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland.

The product is also being sold online to customers in Europe, the Middle East, the US and Canada.

Market tests have also found that PediSalve is suitable for anyone suffering from cracked heels, hard skin and brittle nails. It is, furthermore, popular for massage of arthritic joints and to aid and help improve circulation and lymphatic drainage from the foot and ankle.
