I hope this can repair some really damaged feet...been walking barefoot for almost 3 month's and it's not a pretty picture...lol


This sounds great. The dry weather is here and that means dry skin. Thanks for sharing!


When I make this for feet I use tea tree oil, as it kills things like fungus! Better to be safe them sorry!! I had a reallllly good foot cream recipe, but lost it in our van accident. I will try to recreate it for you, may be awhile, I am very very sick. Sitting up hurts.


I agree with craners - I never wear even socks at home, and I wear flip-flops any time I can!

tuilelaith, hope you feel better soon!


All the ingredients is so healthy. I like the home made stuff, because you know what is inside. We don't always remember that our skin is super absorbent. Did you know your skin absorbs 1/2 a cup of water when you are in a bath tub?


Make sure you refrigerate this and use it up within a week or 10 days, since it doesn't contain a preservative. Anything with water and oil together has the potential for becoming contaminated and growing ickies. (Vitamin E is not a preservative.)
