Aqueous phase:

• 0.75 g borax

Essential oils:

• 15 drops of cypress essential oil

• 5 drops of tea tree essential oil

Method: Make an emulsion following the usual protocol. Once prepared, add the essential oils for fragrance.

Use: Massage your feet with this preparation before bedtime and cover with socks.

Aroma-Zone comments: Borax is an irritant and a rather controversial raw material. You can do without it by replacing the borax with an emulsifying wax. This cream should preferably be stored in a pump bottle to prevent contamination. Keep in a cool place and use within two weeks of preparation. You can improve its shelf life by adding about ten drops of grapefruit seed extract or Cosgard.
