Whether you walk all day or are confined to a desk for eight consecutive hours, pampering your feet at the end of the day is always a healthy habit. They support us, they carry us forward. And according to Traditional Chinese Medicine, they are also a mirror of what is happening in the rest of our body. That is why they should never be neglected.

Below we share a simple and effective recipe you can prepare at home using natural ingredients.

What you need

20 grams of cocoa butter

60 grams of shea butter

30 grams of coconut oil

20 grams of avocado oil

10 drops of tea tree essential oil

10 drops of peppermint essential oil

How to make it

Melt the cocoa butter, shea butter, coconut oil and avocado oil together in the same saucepan using a bain-marie. Stir well and remove from the heat.

Leave to cool so that the mixture solidifies. In winter, you can place the saucepan on the balcony to speed up the process. Once cooled, add the remaining ingredients and stir again, using a hand blender if needed. Finally, store the cream in a container.

The properties

This cream combines the emollient properties of cocoa butter and shea butter with the disinfecting, purifying, antifungal, soothing and refreshing properties of tea tree (melaleuca or tea tree oil) and peppermint essential oils.
