Pros:

     1.      Being an oil – this product really helps to heal cracked, dry heels from within. It moisturizes and heals from within so after the first few days – it need not be applied daily. Once every 2-3 days is good enough to maintain feet skin.

     2.      It absorbs pretty quickly for an oil & doesn’t stain sheets (I generally apply this just before going to bed). It is light & non-greasy

     

     3.      Completely natural product – with the exception of preservatives – this is completely natural. No added fragrances or propylene gycols here.

     

     4.      Fully listed ingredient listing – unlike a lot of herbal lines that conceal ingredients by mentioning only the key ones or some unknown base – this product has the full product listing with %s


     5. Just a few drops are needed - like 2-3 drops for each foot. 

Cons:

     1.   This is oil – so even though it absorbs fast – it takes a minute for it to sink in.

     

     2. Smells like an ayurvedic product – don’t get me wrong it doesn’t smell bad – but it also doesn’t have any fragrances added to it – so don’t expect it to smell floral & all. It smells a little woodsy & spicy. Initially I hated it, have gotten used to it now. 

Will I repurchase: Yes. It does really work fast on dry feet skin without being greasy or heavy. Plus the healing is from within – not temporary. After a long time, I have used something on my feet that seems to really moisturize & soften them from within. I like the fact that my feet didn't become dependent on it - after a week of daily usage I am now using this just once in 2-3 days & my feet haven't gotten any worse. 

Product sent by Company / PR for consideration – but that has not affected my opinion of this product in any way.
