Be Soft Not Cracked Healing Balm for Hands & Feet

from $19.00

Concentrated Orange and Lavender Botanical Balm for Rough, Dry and Cracked-Feeling Hands and Feet

There is dry skin, and then there are heels that catch on the sheets, cuticles that split, fingertips that complain, and elbows so dry and cracked they are beginning to resemble an elephant's hide. Your feet may look as though they have crossed a desert without proper footwear.

Ordinary lotion may be excellent for everyday moisture, but stubborn cracks and rough areas often want something thicker, richer and less interested in disappearing.

Hands and feet take constant abuse from washing, standing, weather, work and footwear. Once the skin becomes extremely rough or cracked-feeling, a light lotion may not stay in place long enough to give the area the concentrated conditioning it needs.

Painful-feeling fissures, ragged cuticles and rough heels can make ordinary movement and daily tasks uncomfortable.

Aunt Be's Solution

Be Soft Not Cracked is Aunt Be's concentrated botanical balm for rough, dry, cracked-feeling hands, fingertips, cuticles, heels, feet, elbows and other stubborn intact areas.

The rich balm softens with body warmth and creates a long-lasting protective moisture layer. Valencia orange essential oil gives it a bright, uplifting scent, while lavender contributes a soft, calming botanical aroma and makes the hand-and-foot ritual feel more soothing.

This is not dainty hand lotion. This is the jar for skin that has ignored polite requests.

Why You'll Love It

  • Concentrated moisture for extremely rough, dry areas.

  • Stays in place longer than an everyday lotion.

  • Helps cracked-feeling heels, elbows, fingertips and cuticles feel softer.

  • Useful on feet, hands, elbows and other stubborn spots.

  • Bright Valencia orange with calming lavender.

  • A small amount covers a surprisingly determined area.

How the Ingredients Help

Organic Beeswax

Organic beeswax gives Be Soft its protective balm structure. It helps seal in moisture and keeps the concentrated oils where stubborn, cracked-feeling areas need them.

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil softens rough-feeling skin and helps the balm melt smoothly with body warmth for easier massage into heels, elbows, cuticles and fingertips.

Sunflower Oil

Sunflower oil contributes lightweight conditioning and linoleic acid, helping dry skin feel softer and more flexible.

Wheat Germ Oil

Wheat germ oil is rich and naturally contains vitamin E and fatty acids. It adds concentrated nourishment for extremely dry, rough and weathered-looking areas.

Valencia Orange Essential Oil

Valencia orange gives Be Soft its sweet, uplifting citrus scent. It is traditionally used in cleansing botanical formulas and makes the nightly hand-and-foot ritual smell considerably less medicinal.

Lavender Essential Oil

Lavender gives the balm its softer, calming botanical side. Its familiar aroma helps turn cracked-skin care into a more relaxing ritual, especially when Be Soft is applied before bed.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E conditions rough, dry-feeling skin and helps support the botanical oils in the formula.

Love

Every jar includes the ingredient Aunt Be refuses to leave out. It may not have an INCI name, but somehow customers always know when it is missing.

What It Feels Like

Be Soft is thick, concentrated and intentionally richer than lotion. It warms between the fingers and creates a protective, conditioning layer over the area.

For daytime, use a small amount and massage it in thoroughly. At bedtime, you can apply a more generous layer and let the balm work while you are busy doing absolutely nothing.

Best For

  • Rough, cracked-feeling heels

  • Dry fingertips and hands

  • Ragged or dry cuticles

  • Dry feet and toes

  • Rough elbows and knees

  • Small stubborn areas that need more than lotion

How to Use

Apply as needed to cracked-feeling heels, elbows, cuticles, fingertips and whatever else is super dry. Massage into clean, dry, intact skin until absorbed.

For an overnight hand or foot ritual, apply a slightly thicker layer and cover with clean cotton gloves or socks.

Do not use on deep, bleeding, infected-looking or severely painful cracks. Avoid the eyes and mucous membranes. For external use only.

“This seems to work better than the drugstore foot cream that I’ve been using for years. I use a cosmetic spatula to get the right amount out of the jar. I apply it before bedtime and wear socks overnight; and by morning, my feet feel so smooth and soft.”

“Best product ever!!. I have been using it for 5+ years every day (yes every day) on my feet and cuticles. I never have cracked skin and it stays soft and moisturized. I used it with my lotion over it. It lasts all day. Unless you’re at the beach or wash your hands of course so I carry an extra one in my bag. I used a dry cloth to wipe the palm of my hands as it is greasy but quickly absorbs. Great for cuticle therapy while sleeping too. I would love to see a 2oz version for my bag though. Just a thought! Please keep making this product, it’s the best and would be very disappointed if discontinued. Thank you also for the quick attention to the orders and delivery.”
