The primary ingredient in this product is melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) leaf oil. Tea tree oil can be helpful to kill bacteria and fungus, and reduce allergic skin reactions. Tea tree oil is generally not a commonly used ingredient in athlete's foot oils, creams, or powders because it has not been proven as effective in treating nail fungus infections. This formula does not contain any supporting ingredients which are known to inhibit and prevent fungus from spreading. Missing from the ingredients' list is Undecylenic Acid or other similar therapeutic fungus killing acids.
Dosage Instructions
The manufacturer's website says to use daily on dry feet especially between the toes. Spray into shoes and socks for continued protection. The application instructions are not detailed enough and do not explain how to prepare the feet before applying nor how many times a day to apply.
Cost and Guarantee
This product is not available for purchase on the manufacturer’s website but we found it on Amazon where a small 50ml bottle costs $16.50 (including shipping). There are no new customer incentives nor bulk purchase order deals offered on the company website. There is no type of guarantee nor return policy specified on the manufacturer's website. If you buy from Amazon, they have their own guarantee and return policy.
Summary Of Our Thursday Plantation Tea Foot Spray
We liked that this is an all natural product free from synthetic parabens, mineral oils, petrochemicals, propylene glycol, lauryl sulphates, synthetic colours, synthetic preservatives and animal derived ingredients. The product comes in a small, easy to use spray bottle. We also had a number of less positive comments too. The manufacturer's website has very little information about this product, what the ingredients do, or who the target consumer is. It does not mention anything about treating athlete's foot. In fact all it says is that the product can be used to "refresh your feet and eliminate foot odor". There are no new customer incentives nor bulk purchase order deals offered on the company website, and no guarantee nor return policy. This formula does not contain any supporting ingredients which are known to inhibit and prevent the fungus from spreading. Missing from the ingredients' list is Undecylenic Acid. Stubborn infections require a potent ingredient like Undecylenic Acid to help combat the fungus at the source. The application instructions are not detailed enough and do not explain how to prepare the feet before applying nor how many times a day to apply. The reviews we saw on Amazon seemed to state that the product had no benefits in treating the symptoms of athlete's foot but others said it helped with relieving foot odor. If you are looking for an athlete's foot spray, we suggest you find one with the proven ingredients that can fight the fungus that causes the malady and also look for a product with a strong guarantee and return policy.
