Description

Our peppermint foot balm smells amazing as it is blended with organic organic shea butter & olive oil which has been infused with organic herbal peppermint as well as beeswax, natural menthol and peppermint essential oil.  

The end result is a foot balm which creates  a genuinely cooling, refreshing sensation that is just perfect to help  promote circulation and revitalize tired feet. Can also be used to soften cracked feet and as a rub for strained muscles.

How To Use:

We think our balm is a real winner. For best results, apply to the feet and heels after a long soak in the bath, just before bedtime put on some old socks and leave till morning. 

As with any new product, always apply a small amount before use just to ensure no allergic reactions. Probably best not to use on children under 5 years of age.
