Naturally fresh to the toes – combat foot odor naturally
In this blog post you will learn why feet smell, how to care for them naturally and how our new 100% natural Swiss foot deodorant helps.
Why foot odor has nothing to do with hygiene
Your feet carry you through life and perform hard work every day. During the cold season, they are often encased in thick socks and heavy shoes for hours on end. Synthetic materials, in particular, prevent the skin from breathing. Moisture builds up, and unpleasant odors quickly develop.
But even in summer, when hiking, walking barefoot, or wearing open shoes, your feet sweat. This can lead to unpleasant odors, even if you wash your feet daily.
Many people are ashamed of it – completely unnecessarily. In most cases, foot odor has nothing to do with a lack of cleanliness.
The truth is: odor is not caused by sweat itself, but by bacteria that decompose it. Tight shoes, synthetic materials, or athletic activities exacerbate the problem.
What really helps:
✔ Reduce moisture
✔ Choose breathable materials
✔ Care products with natural antibacterial ingredients
✔ Shower or bathe daily
Natural effect instead of lots of chemicals
Conventional foot deodorants often merely mask odor with fragrances or attack the skin flora with alcohol and synthetic additives.
Did you know that fresh sweat is actually odorless?
Unpleasant odor only develops when bacteria decompose sweat on our skin. And this is precisely where you can make a difference with a foot deodorant containing zinc oxide, baking soda, healing clay, and cornstarch.
Zinc oxide is a natural powder made of zinc and oxygen. It has antibacterial properties and neutralizes odors by inhibiting bacterial growth.
Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is alkaline and neutralizes odors by altering the pH level. It absorbs moisture and binds perspiration. These properties are enhanced by healing clay and cornstarch .
Your natural sweating is not suppressed – the skin's regulatory function remains fully intact.
5 tips for naturally fresh feet
1. Air out your shoes – especially after sports and long days.
2. Walking barefoot – natural cooling, better foot climate.
3. Choose breathable materials – cotton, leather, natural fibers.
4. Keep feet dry – especially between the toes.
5. Use natural foot deodorant – e.g. in the morning before sports or in the evening after showering.
How does one come up with the idea of producing a foot deodorant?
Honestly, who hasn't experienced this? You come home after a long day at work, take off your shoes, and an unpleasant smell hits your nose.
Or you wear open shoes or are barefoot in sneakers when it's 25-30 degrees Celsius in the summer? Exactly.
We maintain that unpleasant foot odor has affected us all at some point. Therefore, it seemed natural to consider what could be done about it.
Having already gained extensive experience with our deodorant creams and sticks, developing a foot deodorant cream was a logical next step. It perfectly complements our deodorant range.
The result:
A foot deodorant that works, smells pleasant, gives a feeling of security and feels good on the skin.
