This is for anyone who wants a soak-first step in their foot care routine — particularly people with stubborn callus or corns that are hard to remove dry, or with rough, cracked heels that benefit from being softened before moisturizing. It also suits people managing everyday foot odor or excess sweating. It's a consumer product used at home in an ordinary basin of warm water, not a professional treatment.

Because it's an essential-oil-based soak, anyone with a known sensitivity to rosemary, lavender, mountain pine, or thyme oil should patch-test or avoid it.

The point of this bath is to soften skin before you work on it, rather than to moisturize on its own — it's a preparation step for removing stubborn callus and corns, or for calming rough, cracked, reddened skin so a follow-up cream can absorb better. The combination of four essential oils (rosemary, lavender, mountain pine, thyme) with urea is aimed specifically at that softening-and-deodorizing job, distinct from GEHWOL's rosemary-only bath salt, which leans more toward relaxation and circulation.

Add the recommended dose — about one capful, roughly 15 g — to a basin of warm water sized for a foot bath, and soak feet for 10 to 15 minutes. Pat feet dry afterward and follow with a GEHWOL FUSSKRAFT cream while skin is still receptive.

Because it's a liquid, it disperses into a foot bath faster and more evenly than a salt would, and the four-oil blend (rosemary, lavender, mountain pine, thyme) gives it a broader softening effect than a single-oil soak. The tradeoff is that it requires a basin and 10 to 15 minutes of soaking time — it isn't a quick rinse-off product — and, being a concentrate rather than pre-measured sachets, it's easier to over- or under-dose than a single-use salt packet.
