Cracked heels can be uncomfortable, painful, and often embarrassing — especially when you want to wear sandals or go barefoot.

- Enzymes that gently exfoliate dead skin
- Vitamin C to lighten dark patches

Combined with a few natural ingredients, this remedy works like magic to leave your feet soft, smooth, and refreshed.
