• 30 ml (2 tbsp) of raw Quebec beeswax (or 1 tbsp of sunflower wax)
• 45 ml (3 tbsp) of organic castor oil
• 45 ml (3 tbsp) of organic coconut oil (Naturally antibacterial.)
• 15 ml (1 tbsp) of organic arrowroot starch (Absorbent.)
• 15 ml (1 tbsp) of white clay (Cleansing, purifying, absorbent.)
• 15 ml (1 tbsp) of zinc oxide (Astringent, antibacterial, forms a barrier against perspiration.)
• 5 drops of organic clary sage essential oil (Salvia sclarea) (Regulates perspiration, antibacterial, astringent.)
• 5 drops of organic tea tree essential oil (Melaleuca alternifolia) (Antibacterial, antifungal.)
• 2 drops of organic balsam fir essential oil (Abies balsamea) (Pairs really well with the previous essential oils: forest walk feeling guaranteed!)

1. Mix the powders (starch, clay and zinc oxide), add the essential oils and set aside in a bowl.

2. Melt the wax in a double boiler.

3. Add the coconut oil and stir until it has melted.

4. Remove from heat, add the castor oil and mix lightly.

5. Then add the powders and whisk well until everything is smooth, with a whisk or a hand mixer. The mixture will become creamy.

Wash your feet with a washcloth and soap, making sure to scrub the skin well to dislodge dead skin (or better: exfoliate your feet with coffee grounds mixed with a little olive oil or honey).

Once your feet are very well dried, use your fingers to apply a pea-sized amount of cream to your feet, making sure to put some between your toes. Adjust the amount as needed.

Wait 5 minutes before putting on your socks, so the balm has time to soak into the skin.

This balm works really well. I even found out it's effective under the arms... hooray for versatility!
