This foot butter was formulated for someone who stands on their feet for an extended period of time. Aching, cracked feet, or any form of bacterial or fungal infections like athletes foot. Fungal foot infections can be the peskiest kind of infection to get rid of because once they find a host, they like to stick around for the long haul.
