Usage & Storage

Massage a small amount into clean, dry feet, focusing on heels and rough areas. Best applied slowly to allow the balm to melt with skin warmth. For a deeper ritual, apply before bed and wear breathable cotton socks. Use daily or after bathing/exfoliation.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Always use clean, dry hands or a scoop to remove balm. Avoid introducing water into the container. For external use only. This formulation contains natural botanical ingredients, which may cause allergic or sensitization reactions in some individuals. We recommend performing a patch test before first use. If irritation occurs, discontinue use. For external use only.
