# Non-greasy foot cream

Source: HiveTried, https://hivetried.com/beauty/foot-cream/not-greasy/
Category: Beauty > Foot cream. Updated 2026-10-08. Based on 147 counted first-hand reports from Target shopper reviews, Nov 2015 to Sep 2026.

**Question:** Which foot cream isn't greasy?

**Short answer:** Gold Bond Ultimate Softening Foot Cream leads for a non-greasy feel: 13 of 13 shoppers said it soaked in without feeling greasy or slippery. O'Keeffe's Healthy Feet Foot Cream matches it on a smaller group (10 of 10) and Gold Bond Triple Action Foot Cream is close behind (15 of 16), but every group is small, so one or two shoppers can move a record. Burt's Bees Coconut Foot Cream has the weakest record here at 0 of 13.

**What stands out:** Greasiness is the dividing line here: 32% of the Burt's Bees reviews raise it, while it comes up rarely for the other four creams. Heel softening and scent get praised for all five, so the feel on skin is what separates them.

## Questions

**Which foot cream isn't greasy?**

Gold Bond Ultimate Softening Foot Cream has the best record (13 of 13), followed by O'Keeffe's Healthy Feet Foot Cream (10 of 10 on a smaller group) and Gold Bond Triple Action Foot Cream (15 of 16). Each group is small, so treat the gaps between them as slight.

**Is Burt's Bees Coconut Foot Cream greasy?**

Shoppers say yes: 13 of 13 who said how it felt reported that it stayed greasy or slippery. 32% of its reviews mention greasiness, though 28% also say it softened their heels.

**How do I keep foot cream from making socks and floors slippery?**

Use a thin layer, rub it in until the surface feels dry, and give it a few minutes before you stand on a smooth floor or pull on socks. If a cream still leaves residue after that, the reviews here point to Gold Bond Ultimate Softening Foot Cream and O'Keeffe's Healthy Feet Foot Cream as creams shoppers said soaked in.

**When should I see a doctor about my feet?**

The reviews here are about how a cream feels, not about foot problems. See a doctor or podiatrist for cracks that bleed, hurt, look infected or don't improve. If you have diabetes, have any foot problem checked by a doctor.
