Abstract: Foot care is a crucial aspect of overall well-being, as our feet endure daily stressors and are often neglected until problems arise. This study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of a cinnamon and walnut foot scrub designed to address common foot issues such as dryness, cracked skin, and fungal infections. Cinnamon is incorporated for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, offering a soothing effect while stimulating circulation. Walnut shells serve as an effective natural exfoliant, gently removing dead skin cells and revealing smoother skin underneath. The scrub not only exfoliates but also hydrates, thanks to the nourishing properties of walnut oil, making it particularly beneficial for dry, cracked heels. The prepared formulation was evaluated for various parameters, including color, appearance, consistency, pH, and viscosity. By integrating this scrub into regular foot care routines, individuals can experience improved skin texture and overall foot health. The future of cinnamon walnut foot scrubs looks promising, with potential advancements in formulations tailored to various skin types and conditions, ensuring a natural and effective approach to foot care.
