I get what you're saying.

I'm saying that it does something to break down the dead skin.

The skin when removed is very fragile and soft and comes off better than when just soaking an animal in water.

I rehabed a Red Tegu that had a bad shed all over its body to the point where the live skin was drying out and cracking and the Tegu could have lost toes tail etc.

Reapeated soaking for hours did NOTHING for the problem.

After coating the Tegu with Vasoline for 2-3 days the skin rubbed off with a towel and the cracks in the skin healed.

I have lots of tatoos and used Bacitracin, A&D Ointment, and Vasoline during the recovery period and they all worked the same way keeping the tatooed areas from healing dry and cracking.
