Essencia Heel Butter

Heal Your Heels

by Jenny Watkins

Essencia Heel Butter

Looking to give calloused heels and rough feet the boot this summer? Essencia’s all-natural heel butter may be your new best friend. Before we’d even untwisted the lid to sample the product, we fell in love with the squat brown glass tub and the whimsical, earth-toned label. 

The quaint packaging makes the organic butter feel like a lucky find from a farmer’s market, which is appropriate, as Essencia’s products are all handcrafted from pure, plant-based ingredients. The rich, luscious balm is packed with essential oils, many of which are known for their anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory products, all ideal for foot care. Massaging the aromatic butter into heels and elbows after showering left our skin soft and smooth, and didn’t ruin our floors and socks with grease smudges like other heel balms tend to do.

Price: $19
