Review: Earth Therapeudics Tea Tree Oil Foot Repair Balm

Whether you work long hours in retail, run marathons, or race after little ones, we could all use a little TLC for our feet. I love to have a weekly spa ritual where I soak my feet while waiting for a facial mask to dry. Afterwards, I love to moisturize from heel to toe with a vegan foot treatment such as Earth Therapeutics Tea Tree Oil Foot Repair Balm.


Pros:
  • Fresh minty scent
  • A little goes a long way
  • Lovely pearlescent texture
  • Affordable (about $8)
  • Contains many certified organic ingredients
  • Leaves feet soft but not greasy
  • Tea tree is anti-fungal
Cons:
  • May need to order online
Summary:
If you're looking for a foot lotion, Earth Therapeutic Tea Tree Oil Foot Repair Balm is a nice option. It is much more gentle than conventional alternatives, and I love how there it is not tested on animals and contains no animal by-products. The tube is affordable and comes with a generous amount, so I'd imagine it would be suitable for daily use. The scent is minty which would work well for men, too. I highly recommend this balm for anyone looking for a nice way to soften and moisturized tired feet.
