Velvet Heel Foot Cream

Aloe Extract — For Comfort & Skin Conditioning

Aloe Extract is valued in skincare for its moisturising and skin-conditioning properties. Depending on the extract type, it may help soothe the feel of dry skin and support a comfortable skin feel. In a foot cream, it complements richer emollients and butters to leave feet feeling refreshed and cared for.

Beeswax — For Protective Moisture Lock-In

Beeswax acts as an emollient and consistency-enhancing ingredient in creams. It helps form a protective film on the skin's surface, reducing moisture loss and helping keep dry heels feeling softer. It also contributes to the texture and richness of the foot cream.

Kokum Butter — For Soft, Supple Heels

Kokum Butter, obtained from the seeds of Garcinia indica, is a rich plant-derived emollient. It helps soften rough skin, improve suppleness and support the skin's moisture barrier. Its nourishing texture makes it suitable for foot creams designed to condition dry heels and hardened areas.

Urea — For Dry, Rough & Thickened Skin

Urea is a naturally occurring component of the skin's moisturising system and is widely used in foot-care products. It attracts water to help hydrate dry skin. At suitable concentrations, it also softens thickened skin and helps loosen dead skin cells, making rough heels feel smoother. The strength of its exfoliating and softening effect depends on the concentration used in the finished formula.

Glycerine — For Deep-Feeling Hydration

Glycerine is a humectant that attracts and holds water in the outer layers of the skin. It helps relieve the dry, tight feeling associated with moisture loss and leaves skin feeling softer and more comfortable. Combined with Urea and rich butters, it supports the cream's moisturising performance.

Shea Butter — For Rich Nourishment

Shea Butter is a plant-derived emollient rich in fatty acids and unsaponifiable compounds. It helps soften the skin, improve suppleness and reduce moisture loss. In a foot cream, it provides a rich, comforting texture suited to dry heels and rough areas that need regular moisturising.

Murumuru Butter — For Velvet-Soft Feet

Murumuru Butter, obtained from the seeds of the Astrocaryum murumuru palm, is an emollient valued for its rich lipid content. It helps condition the skin, improve softness and leave a smooth, supple after-feel. It is a key ingredient for a premium foot cream designed to nourish dry heels and rough feet.

Almond Oil — For Smooth, Conditioned Skin

Almond Oil is a plant-derived emollient containing fatty acids that help soften and condition the skin. It improves the spreadability of the cream and helps leave feet feeling smoother and less dry. Customers with nut allergies should check suitability with the manufacturer before use.

Coconut Oil — For Dry-Skin Softness

Coconut Oil helps soften the skin and reduce moisture loss by providing an emollient layer. It contributes to the cream's nourishing feel and helps condition rough areas of the feet. Alongside the plant butters, it supports a smoother, more comfortable skin feel.

Vitamin E — For Skin Conditioning & Antioxidant Support

Vitamin E, commonly used in cosmetics as Tocopherol or Tocopheryl Acetate, provides antioxidant support within the formulation and helps condition the skin. It complements the cream's emollient ingredients, helping maintain a nourished, soft-feeling finish. Its precise function depends on the form of Vitamin E used.

Castor Oil — For Rich Skin Softening

Castor Oil is a viscous plant-derived oil rich in ricinoleic acid. It acts as an emollient, helping lubricate and soften the skin while contributing to the richness of the cream. It is useful in formulations intended to leave dry heels feeling conditioned and smooth.

Citronella Oil — For a Fresh Botanical Aroma

Citronella Oil is an aromatic essential oil derived from certain Cymbopogon grasses. It contributes a fresh, citrus-like herbal scent to the foot cream. Its main role in this product is fragrance; because essential oils may cause irritation or sensitisation, the finished product should be assessed for appropriate use levels.

Lavender Essential Oil — For a Relaxing Foot-Care Ritual

Lavender Essential Oil adds a soothing floral-herbal aroma that makes daily foot care feel more relaxing. It complements the rich moisturising ingredients and enhances the sensory experience, particularly when the cream is applied before bedtime. It should be positioned as an aromatherapy benefit rather than a guaranteed treatment for sleep or pain.
