Abstract This study focuses on developing a natural foot cream using Ficus Racemosa (Cluster Fig) and banana peel extracts to help with dry, cracked feet and prevent infections. Since the skin on our feet lacks oil glands, it tends to become dry and cracked, which can lead to bacterial infections, ulcers, and discomfort. The extracts were obtained using simple, natural methods—Ficus Racemosa stem was soaked in a mixture of water and ethanol, while banana peels were blended and filtered. These extracts were then mixed into different foot cream formulations and tested for their texture, pH, ability to spread, stability over time, and antimicrobial properties. The best-performing formulation contained 3% Ficus Racemosa extract and 1% banana peel extract. It effectively fought off bacteria like E. coli, remained stable without major changes in color or consistency, and showed no irritation when applied to the skin. The cream also provided excellent moisturizing and healing effects, making it a safe and effective solution for cracked heels and dry feet. Overall, this herbal foot cream offers a natural, chemical-free alternative for foot care, helping to heal cracks, keep skin soft, and prevent infections. It could be a great option for people looking for a safe and effective way to care for their feet.
