About Great Scot Skin Care in Boise, ID

Where It All Began

Great Scott began production back in 1964 on a farm in Melba, Idaho, by Gerry Roesbery. Her desire to develop a skin cream began as a result of her training in chemistry and a personal need to soothe farm-worked hands. After many attempts to formulate the perfect skin cream, she exclaimed:
“Great Scott… It really works!”
Since then, this skin cream has been mending working hands and has become the best moisturizer for dry skin.

What About Parabens?

We get this question a lot. Yes, some of our products use a small amount of parabens, which are FDA- and EU-approved preservatives that keep skincare safe from bacteria and mold. Despite online rumors, scientific studies have shown no credible evidence linking parabens in cosmetics to health risks. In fact, parabens are over 100,000 times weaker than natural estrogen in the body, making them far too weak to cause hormonal disruption.
Skipping preservatives might sound appealing, but it also increases the risk of spoilage, which can lead to skin infections or worse. We believe in safety and transparency, and we are proud to make products you can trust. For you, and those who opt out of parabens, we do offer a paraben-free choice in the Great Scott Moisturizing Cream.
For your research, here is a link to the FDA statement on parabens in cosmetic products: http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/cos-para.html
Under European Cosmetic regulations, parabens have been reviewed for safety by the European Commission and are allowed for use as cosmetic preservatives.

"Just wanted to let you know that when my husband brought home a jar of Great Scott - I was so amazed! He's had dry, cracked hands for several, several years, and always had cuts and bandages on his fingers. Since he's used Great Scott, his hands have not been cut up and bandages of in limited supply. I tried using Great Scott on my feet, which were very dry and rough. I recently had someone ask me if I was tender-footed because my feet are sooo soft... It's amazing. Thank you for making such a great product! Everyone should know about this cream. If they did, Aveeno, Neutrogena, and all the rest would be out of business!”

— A. G.

Boise, Idaho

“For the past few years, I have suffered terribly from dry, chapped, and cracked skin on my hands. I have tried many products and combinations of products without success. So, I did some research and searched on the internet and read information on your website with interest. When I saw that you have a 30-day money-back guarantee, I decided I would try your product because I was tired of paying good money for products that didn't even come close to helping my skin.I received my order on Monday, April 5. I anxiously opened the box and immediately applied the cream to my hands. It was INSTANT relief. I used the product for two days, and my previously worse-than-sandpaper fingers were as smooth as could be. I am astounded. This product should be marketed nationwide, if not worldwide. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

— P. H.

Atlantic City, NJ

“I'm a 65-year-old woman who spent most of my life with ‘super sensitive skin,’ and over the years, I would break out in a rash from something I ate or from using a detergent, body soap, or even perfume, etc., and just recently, I broke out in a rash due to something I ate. I used several kinds of skin creams, including Keri skin cream that they use in hospitals here, and it made it worse. My skin got to a point where it actually felt worse than the coarsest sandpaper out there, and ohhh, how it would pick and itch. I would want to scream at times. Then my niece Debbie, whom I was visiting in Pennsylvania, gave me what was left of a skin cream she bought and swore by, called Great Scott Medicated Skin Cream. I must say I was a little hesitant to use it at first, but I went ahead thinking, what do I got to lose than this horrible picking itching skin condition I have now. And please believe me when I say this... that within hours (not a day or two of using this Great Scott Skin Cream), I had amazing relief from the severe picking and itching dry skin rash. There were large areas that felt like normal skin again. I wanted to thank you and commend you on your product; it is fantastic stuff.”

“Words cannot thank you enough for your products. I purchased this product about six months ago for my father. My father has suffered extremely dry, cracked fingers for over twenty years. He has gone to countless doctors, and none have been able to help him. He has tried different types of lotion, ointment, you name it, he’s got ‘em. My Mom has tried some “ancient Chinese secret recipes” on him, and that didn’t work either. Six months ago, I started to do some research online and did a Google search. There were many sites that I spent hours reading. Great Scott was one of the products I found online and have decided to try it. I’m SO glad I did because my father’s fingers are completely healed. You have no idea how thankful I am for your product. It gave my father full usage of his fingers and never had to worry about the “bending and cracking” pain again.My father continues using your product for maintenance, so needless to say, I’m buying MORE again. This time, I will be buying a few extra jars for my sister, who is thrilled with your product as well.
THANK YOU for developing this amazing product.”

— Linda Hinds


“I just wanted you to know that I have had eczema my entire life (59 years), and nothing has worked like Great Scott. I tried your "tester" jar at the Merc in Garden Valley one evening. The results in one night were unbelievable. I bought 2 jars (kitchen and bathroom) the next day, and my hands are just about totally healed, including the redness, and it has only been 2 days. I will be showing it to my Dermatologist very soon. My wish is that you had a tube for carrying in my purse, I've been taking the jar with me. I didn't see one on your site, but perhaps you have one? I can't thank you enough, but thank you!!”

— N. H.

“I would like to thank you for all your help. My wife’s hands healed in just a matter of weeks. I’m so glad I found you, because my wife has been to doctors all over, and they all told her there was no cure for her hands. She always was scratching them. They burned and itched 24 hours a day. Great Scott’s Medicated Skin Cream has cleared them up. When I first told my wife about what I had found on the internet, she laughed at me. I was looking for skin treatments and I found Great Scott’s. I ordered some, and she tried it. In a matter of days, guess what? The laugh was on her. You know, sometimes, you just have to have a little faith, and things work out. Thanks a lot."
