I never gave my feet much thought before I met our life partner. As a bona fide foot fetishist, he taught me all about how erotic a soft, pampered foot can be. I try to keep my feet free of thick calluses and the skin in good condition for him mainly because I love how it makes me feel when he catches a glimpse of them.

The lotion comes in a soft plastic bottle and rests on its lid guaranteeing that you won't have to shake the bottle upside down risking a mess. It's a substantial amount at 5 oz, not bad for just under $15.00. The picture on the package is a woman's belly and a stalk of lemongrass beaded with dew. Suggestive but not terribly pornographic. It's safe sitting on your bedside table.

The product is made with certified organic extracts certified by the Certification Board For Extracts:USDA Organic. The product is made in Canada which is nice synergy since Arch was also made in Canada!

It is paraben free, DEA free, naturally derived, and pure vegan...in a word this product is YUMMY! The carrier oils are shea butter, soya bean oil and sweet almond oil. They add a creamy undertone to the scent that is intoxicating.

The lotion is very thick and creamy. Even after warming up in the palms it still remains thick and luxurious providing a perfect surface for a gliding foot massage. It doesn't cause skin drag and works nicely on any part of the body, a little goes a long way. The smell is heavenly, and Sigel says it reminds him of cocoa but it reminds me of very high end tanning oil, which I happen to love. It also reminds me of summer days at the beach when I was growing up.

I used the lotion on Sigel's feet which were in pretty bad shape. He had terrible calluses and dry cracked skin on the verge of bleeding. I smoothed the lotion into his skin, massaging it in thoroughly before putting a pair of spa booties on them. After the heating pads had cooled we removed the boots and he took a warm shower. He ran a pumice stone over his heels and the calluses just sloughed off so easily we were amazed! I definitely recommend this product to anyone who has problems with dry, cracked skin or ugly yellow calluses on their feet. It also works wonders on dry elbows and ashy skin according to a friend of mine who was entranced by the scent.

The bottle does offer two warnings: this product is not safe for ingestion, and you should avoid contact with your eyes. That being said I wouldn't recommend using this as a lube, it might be stingy to the sensitive areas.

It washes off with soap and water leaving the skin soft and smooth. If left on the skin it doesn't cause skin blemishes on my irritable, rash prone skin. I haven't tried this on my face, however, since I tend to get very nasty eruptions if I am not careful, so I can't say for certain if it's comedogenic or not.

On a side note, lemongrass is often used in lust potions, while coconut is used for chastity. Mixing the two would induce an alert but chaste state...the definition of relaxation.

I went ahead and bought the two other "flavors" Cocoa Bean and Goji Berry; and Fresh Orange and Wild Ginger. I can't decide which one is my favorite! The Cocoa bean and Goji Berry has an exotic smell to it that is very sensual. To me it smells like very high quality cherry tobacco, which I happen to love the smell of. It smells like the tobacco before it's burned and its yuuuuumy. The Fresh Orange and Wild Ginger smells like a ripe, juicy orange you've just peeled. The wild ginger gives it a hint of spice and a "warm" smell. It is very invigorating and works great to start off the day!

Sigel noted that this cream takes the sting out of extremely dry skin almost instantly on the calves and feet. It smells delicious and tends to flavor your shoes. Great to get rid of that gym socks smell in your shoes. I recommend the Cocoa Bean and Goji Berry scent for this...but the Fresh Orange will work a treat as well.

Goodness if I could increase the stars I origionally gave this product I would! I developed some skin cracking problems and hives just after arriving in Canada. This isn't a terribly horrible thing except that Arch is a bonefide foot fetishist! So I needed to repair my skin and quick.
I pulled out the Fresh Orange/Wild Ginger tube after exfoliating my feet. I slathered it on and civered my feet with some heavy socks. The next morning the cracks had healed and after a quick session with a pumice stone the peeling skin was almost totally gone! Not even the medicated lotions I have work that fast. My skin was soft, fresh smelling and incredibly kissable according to Arch. This stuff is amazing!
