Last Updated on January 9, 2019 by Andrea

Ultra-Nourishing Herbal Foot Butter

Homemade Herbal Foot Butter

Foot butter.

Dry.
Hard.
Cracked.

Ultra Nourishing.
Velvety smooth.

A hydrating treatment for the toughest feet.

After making my own foot butter…I will never buy it again.

It’s ::

  • easy
  • cheap
  • 100% natural

and an excellent treat for your feet…especially this time of year!

Foot Butter

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces (approximately 1/2 cup) shea butter
  • 1 ounce (approximately 2 tablespoons) avocado oil
  • 3/4 ounce (approximately 4 1/2 teaspoons) all-natural beeswax, grated or roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lanolin
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons non-GMO vitamin E oil
  • 30 drops essential oil blend (see “Notes” below)

For the highest medicinal value available choose dōTERRA™  Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade™ essential oils for yourself, your family, and your friends. Click here to purchase…

Method

  1. In a small pot — over low heat — melt shea butter, avocado oil, beeswax, and lanolin.
  2. Stir frequently.
  3. Remove from heat and add vitamin E oil and essential oils. Stir well to distribute oils throughout mixture.
  4. Pour into tins or jars.
  5. Let cool on counter until hardened.

*This recipe makes enough for approximately 6-1 oz. tins or three 2 oz. glass jars. I also love to clean and reuse any and all glass jars!

Purchase tins and cosmetic glass jars online by clicking this link to Mountain Rose Herbs.

Notes

To create an ultra-rich, antibacterial blend of essential oils, I like to combine ::

  • menthol blend :: lavender, peppermint, and tea tree
  • grounded blend :: fir, cypress, ylang ylang, cedarwood, juniper berry, and vetiver

To use :: Massage a small amount into feet or other part of body in need of a refreshing and nourishing uplift.

    Hi! How would you describe the consistency of the foot balm? Is it medium or hard when you grab son to apply? Thanks in advance.

  4. Tash says

  5. Jessica Chipps says

    Hi…I just wanted to let you know how helpful I have found your blog. I make loads of stuff from our recipes ~ They work and they keep us fro using so many commercial products. Thanks again!

    • Jessica Chipps says

      YOUR recipes!

    I’m eager to try this today. Do you think there’s any harm in leaving out the lanolin? Only reason is because we’re having a snow storm and I don’t want to go out and get the only ingredient I’m missing. 🙂 Overnight, my 4 yr old boy’s knuckles are bleeding from dryness! 🙁 🙁 I feel like such a horrible mom! But I’m gonna get cookin’ today. Thanks for the great recipe, Andrea. Love your recipes, website and service.

  7. Amber says

    I am definitely taking advantage of this! Thanks for sharing!

  8. Randy says

    What a great idea! I want to make some this year for the mail lady. Her feet deserve it!

  9. Jordan says

    This is a great idea for year round gifts. I bet the kids would even enjoy making this!

  10. JRod says

    The wind has been kicking butt’s and taking names. I’m sure the whole population of this area can use some of that butter.

  11. di says

    Can you leave the lanolin out? I’m allergic and it would be nice to have a vegetarian/vegan option.

    Thanks.
