What You'll Need

Step-by-Step

  1. Set up a double boiler. Add 2 tbsp Indian Kokum Butter and 1 tbsp Beeswax Pellets to the heatproof bowl. Melt slowly until fully liquid (about 5-6 minutes).
  2. Add 2 tbsp Virgin Coconut Oil. Stir until melted and uniform.
  3. Remove from heat. Let cool for 1 minute.
  4. Stir in 1 tsp Neem Oil (antifungal — important for cracked skin which can harbor infection) and 5 drops Vitamin-E Oil.
  5. Pour into a clean 60ml metal tin or glass jar. Tap gently to release air bubbles.
  6. Let set at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  7. To use: Before bed, wash feet with warm water and dry thoroughly. Apply a thick generous layer to cracked heels and any rough patches. Massage in for 1-2 minutes.
  8. Pull on clean cotton socks (essential — protects bedsheets and traps the balm against the skin overnight).
  9. By morning, the cracks will look visibly smoother and softer. Continue nightly for 2-3 weeks for full healing of deeply cracked heels.
  10. Frequency: Nightly until healed, then 2-3 times a week as maintenance.
  11. Storage: Cool dry place. Shelf life: 1 year.

Pro Tips

Neem smell is strong but functional — dissipates quickly. Use nightly for 10 days for visible healing.
