Hunky’s Feet
My hunky husband says we’re a perfect couple because he has crazy skin issues and I’m a skin-obsessed beauty editor. Take, for example, his feet. The poor boy gets cracked heels and dryness so bad that he scratches in his sleep. So the other night while he was sleeping, I sneakily rubbed down his tootsies with a new product I’m obsessed with: Orna Foot Revitalizer, an organic balm loaded with botanicals. I’ve been using on my feet, elbows and cuticles and just love the way it feels and smells. The very good news: Hunky slept through the rest of the night, sans scratching.

Sometimes after a long day, we all dream of plopping down on the couch and enjoying a fabulous foot massage to relieve us of the day’s stresses. It’s amazing what a little foot rub can do; no matter how long or how short, this practice can revitalize us. But with every good foot massage, you need a good foot balm! ORNA Skincare has created a fantastic Foot Revitalizer that soothes, relaxes, heals and deeply moisturizes heels, soles, ankles and toes.

The ORNA Foot Revitalizer is the first product from ORNA skincare, and was founded on their belief in "Products with a Purpose." This Revitalizer gives us a reason to stop and pay attention to the most widely used and yet most neglected part of our body—our feet. It is the best remedy for common foot ailments such as drying, chapping, cracks, sores, rashes and aches. The ORNA foot balm is infused with several natural ingredients that enhance your massage experience.
Conscious about eco-living, ORNA does not waste plants and Mother Nature’s efforts. Therefore, Only those ingredients that help the product achieve its end purpose and deliver results are used!

The massage instructions explain why each motion is important, as well as the significance of each part of the foot. In creating it, ORNA drew wisdom from reflexology, acupressure, ayurveda marma therapy and energy channels in the human body. Once you try ORNA’s soothing Foot Revitalizer and 5 minute foot massage, you’ll be hooked! Here’s what some of our editors had to say:
“This non-greasy formula soothes tired, aching feet after a long day. After a five minute massage with this product, your feet feel smooth and refreshed. You will feel light on your toes! The light scent is rejuvenating and minty.”
– Kim Kong, DivaVillage.com Editor
“I was skeptical going into the foot massage, thinking it couldn’t make that big of a difference – but boy was I wrong! I can’t explain the relaxation I felt prior to giving myself the foot massage. I love the foot balm so much that I apply a little bit every morning, even if there’s no time for a quick 5 minute massage! The scent is delicious and it makes my feet softer than ever.”
– Amy Taylor, DivaVillage.com Editor

ORNA - For Natural Well Being
Non-Greasy and non-staining, absorbs quickly without staining sheets and clothes. Subtle natural fragrance with no artificial perfumes.
We've had this lotion on our desk all summer long - and just love it! After wearing dressy sandals to an event one night, we had a major problem with dry skin due to the strap rubbing back and forth. ORNA got the dry skin cleared up in a jiffy - and we haven't looked back! Suggested retail price is $30 - and it lasts a long, long time!
Friday Top Five: Swag Bag Beauty Finds
Orna Foot Revitalizer ($30): I know my feet were absolutely hating me after running around to Fashion Week events strapped into three and a half inch heels. Well, a couple of gift bags later I finally rewarded them with this foot revitalizer that I received from Orna. I just smoothed this non-greasy botanical balm over my feet before going to bed one night and they felt instantly cool, soothed, and most importantly, moisturized.
ShinyGloss.tv: Five minute foot massage from Orna
The kind people at Caravan knew what they were doing when they put Orna Foot Revitalizer in their fashion week gift bag! There's never a time when your feet need more revitalizing. (Oh, except when you wear 4" Marc Jacobs strappy sandals as a bridesmaid during a 45 minute wedding ceremony. Who? Me?) Not only does the $30 rich botanical balm soothe tired, aching, dry, cracked feet, but it comes with instructions for a five minute foot massage.
"What Works" Beauty, Cosmetics & Fashion Review for SEPTEMBER 2007 by Alison Blackman Dunham
If you're like me, you enjoy the freedom of sandals all Summer, but when you have to stuff your feet back into shoes in the Fall, they rebel! Soothe and pamper your feet from toes to ankle, with a rich, soothing cream from Orna Skincare, new to our review this column, called Foot Revitalizer $30.00 4 oz. Orna Skincare believes in providing safe, effective and natural products to their customers. This one is sure to please anyone with hot, tired, and treats dry, chapped skin, cracks, sores, rashes and aches. Massage the thick, rich, cream with a slight, fresh scent into your feet (a little goes a long way), or even better, ask someone else to do it for you (then return the favor). There is a 5-minute how-to: on Orna's web site, along with a comprehensive, almost dizzying list of ingredients (the first couple include soothing and moisturizing aloe vera, shea butter, kokum butter, wheat germ oil, arnica, chamomile, licorice, lemon, and cucumber). Despite it's rich, moisturization, the cream wasn't greasy, and didn't leave any slippery residue. I like products that provide immediate relief, and even if you have to massage this one into your feet, yourself, you'll get a feeling of pampering and well-being from it. The next morning, my dry heels feel noticeably softer. Orna Skincare's Foot Revitalizer lives up to it's name.

You ever accidentally stumble upon something that just “works”? Well I recently did, and here’s my story: One day while visiting Good Kleen Fun, I had the opportunity to bump into Anshu, a Hoboken entrepreneur who was marketing her new business, Orna Skincare , and their first product, the “Foot Revitalizer”. I normally don’t have an opinion about “beauty” or “personal care” products, because, well, I’m a pretty well-oiled machine. However, I overheard Anshu talking about some foot cream that can work miracles on dilapidated and sad feet (like mine). I walk around Hoboken seven days a week, and don’t pay much attention to the state of my extremities. So I was interested and challenged her to see what her product could do to my lost causes. My feet (well, at least one of my feet) are normally dry, cracked and disgusting really, and I said “I bet your product does nothing more than anything else I’ve tried to fix them”… I’ve tried pedicures (once or twice a year), various “exfoliating” lotions, pumice stones, scrubby sponges, and wacky concoctions like Bag Balm (used to lubricate cow utters). Nothing ever worked. Not even close. So she hands me a small sample container of the Orna Skincare Foot Revitalizer. I accept the trial size package with doubt. “No way it’ll ever work”. But because she exhibited such passion and belief for her product, I’d give it a shot. What can I lose, other than a couple minutes of my time? What did I find out? I finally had relief for my cracked and dry feet! There has never been any other foot cream that works like this one. I was honestly amazed. Within 5 days my feet were softer than a newborn infant. I was wondering what was wrong with me, they looked so smooth and well taken care of! Was I in the Twilight Zone? After more investigation, I discover that Orna Skincare “Foot Revitalizer” is more than 95% natural. No synthetic fragrances and colors, mineral oil or paraffin wax, animal ingredients and parabens. It’s not tested on animals, either. That’s a lot to say, considering the mostly chemical and harmful products that pepper the shelves of your local store. But wait a minute it gets better! It’s a simple all-in-one procedure; You do not have to soak, scrub and moisturize – you only massage it into your feet and you’re done, the ORNA Foot Revitalizer does the rest of the work. Not sure exactly what the biological or technical process is, but it fixed what others never could. The peeling almost immediately went away. It took about 3-4 days and the heels were noticeably improved. After 5-7 days, I had new, SOFT heels. Like I said before, nothing ever worked, lotions, Bag Balm, even pedicures! I no longer had “typical man paws”. A simple daily application made my feet feel much better. I recommend it highly. I thought my rough man’s feet were a lost cause! Imagine what this can do for more normal feet!
(my ACTUAL feet. I’ll show you them as proof!)
The best thing is, that it’s made in USA, and by a Hoboken based company (talk about supporting Hoboken entrepreneurs). I find her drive and passion is simply inspiring. While she is doing this as a business, I truly see that she believes in her business wholeheartedly, and not just to “sell a product”.
Available at:
- On the waterfront at Spa H, 201-526-9001
- Opposite the Path station at Body Balance 201-420-7277
- Also available online at www.ornaskincare.com – free gift wrapping, free shipping (nice packaging from what I was told)
There are so many skincare products on the market that you may feel confused and overwhelmed, I found ORNA Foot Revitalizer effective and a good value for money. So I just wanted to let Hoboken411 readers know! Anshu is also planning other “well-being” type products. If the same care and passion goes into those, you can be rest assured that they’ll be just as good, if not better.
Good luck, Anshu and Orna Skincare!

This is a foot cream that was recommended to me by a colleague. It's very rich and helps to eliminate dry, cracked heels. If you wear flip flops the way I wear flip flops, you will understand what dry heels look like. They crack. They bleed. They are messy and unsightly. They disturb my chi.
