Review: Essencia Aromatics Heel Butter
What They Say: “Packed with botanical butters … both shea and mango. Your dry heels (and feet) will benefit greatly from a daily application of this balm rich in nourishing ingredients. Our exclusive Essential Oil blend includes oils highly regarded for their anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties … perfect for natural foot care.”
How To Use: Most beneficial when used after exfoliating your feet (use a natural pumice stone or our Rosemary Mint Foot Scrub) at the end of a bath or shower. Pat feet dry and apply a dime-sized portion to each foot or heel. Best results are obtained if you slip into a pair of comfortable socks for a few minutes to give the Heel Butter an opportunity to work its benefit. Used regularly for a week, you’ll see amazing results!
Toya’s Take: I used a pumice stone on my feet before applying, as directed, then applied the Heel Butter and slipped on a pair of white cotton socks. The Heel Butter has a pleasant, if strong, herbal scent and the texture is soft, with tiny granules like a smoother sugar scrub. It sank nicely into my skin and, the next morning, my feet were beautifully soft and smooth. I think this Heel Butter would work well on any part of your body that’s extra dry or cracked. This will be a good product to get you through the winter months, if you don’t mind the strong scent.
Retail Price: $19.00 for 1.5 oz. (at essenciaonline.com or go here to find retail locations near you)
DeLush Rating: 
- taking off a bit for the strong scent and the price. I think you can find an equally effective product at a better price point.
