The Natural Cracked Heel Treatment That Actually Works

Dry, cracked heels are one of the most common — and most overlooked — skin concerns. Whether it's the result of a long winter, hours on your feet, or simply skin that needs a little extra love, cracked heel treatment doesn't have to mean harsh chemicals or synthetic creams.

At Elsie & Tom, we believe in skincare that works with your body, not against it. That's why our founder Emma created our bestselling Magnesium Balm — a natural, handmade heel balm crafted in Suffolk from the finest plant-based ingredients.

Why Our Magnesium Balm is the Best Cream for Cracked Heels

Most cracked heel creams sit on the surface. Ours goes deeper. Magnesium chloride — our hero ingredient — is absorbed transdermally through the skin, supporting cellular repair and restoring the skin's natural moisture barrier from within.

Combined with organic argan oil, babassu oil, coconut oil, and a blend of pure essential oils, it's the best moisturiser for cracked heels we know — and one that doubles as a sleep and muscle recovery balm too.

• Softens and heals dry, cracked feet
• Soothes the soreness of split heel treatment
• Locks in moisture overnight
• 100% natural — no parabens, no synthetics
• Handmade in Suffolk, UK
• Suitable for ages 3+

How to Use It

For the best results as a cracked heel treatment:

1. Wash and dry your feet thoroughly before bed.
2. Massage a pea-sized amount into each heel, focusing on any cracks or rough patches.
3. Pop on a pair of cotton socks to seal in the moisture overnight.
4. Wake up to softer, more comfortable heels.

Most customers notice a visible difference within one to two weeks of nightly use.
