Care of the toenails
Toenail care
Our feet carry us through life and therefore deserve the best care. An often overlooked, yet crucial element of foot health are the toenails. Neglected nails can lead to various problems, including ingrown nails, fungal infections and even pain when walking.
The importance of toenails
Why are toenails important?
Our toenails have several important functions. They protect the sensitive skin under the toes from injury and infection. They also serve as an indicator of our health. Changes in the color, texture or shape of the nails can indicate underlying health problems.
The anatomy of a toenail
Before we dive into care, let’s understand the basic anatomy of a toenail. A typical nail consists of the nail plate, nail bed, cuticle and nail root.
The andirobanut
The andirobanut is native to South America, particularly the Amazon basin. Among the indigenous people, the andirobanut has long been regarded as THE natural power from the Amazon and is used there to treat wounds and for skin care. For this reason, we use the andirobanut as the basis for our products.
