Table of Contents

Toenail fungus is notoriously difficult to treat, and many over-the-counter solutions fall short, which is why finding the best treatment for toenail fungus requires understanding which ingredients actually work.

 But when a formula combines the right mix of science-backed and natural ingredients, it can deliver powerful results. In this article, we’ll break down why each component in the following formula works so well to eliminate toenail fungus and restore healthy nails:

  • Undecylenic Acid 30%

  • Aloe Vera Oil

  • Sweet Almond Oil

  • Jojoba Oil

  • Tea Tree Oil

  • Manuka Oil

  • Clove Bud Oil

  • Lavender Oil

  • Oregano Oil

  • Peppermint Oil

  • Propolis Extract

  • Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E Oil)

  • Snakeroot Oil

  • Eucalyptus Oil


Undecylenic Acid

This is the main antifungal agent in the formula. It's FDA-approved and clinically proven to treat dermatophytes and Candida, the two most common types of nail fungus. At 30%, it's one of the strongest concentrations available for topical vs oral antifungal use. It works by damaging the fungal cell membrane, making it impossible for the fungus to grow or reproduce.


Aloe Vera Oil

Aloe Vera is well-known for its soothing and healing properties. It helps reduce inflammation around the infected nail and hydrates dry, cracked skin. Most importantly, it supports the healing process by stimulating skin regeneration.


Sweet Almond Oil

Rich in vitamins A and E, Sweet Almond Oil helps soften the nail and surrounding skin. This not only makes the infected area easier to treat but also helps other ingredients penetrate deeper.


Jojoba Oil

Jojoba Oil closely mimics the skin’s natural oils, allowing it to absorb quickly and carry antifungal agents deep into the nail bed. It also contains anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce swelling and discomfort.


Tea Tree Oil

One of the most studied natural antifungal ingredients. Tea Tree Oil contains terpinen-4-ol, a compound that kills fungi and bacteria while soothing irritated skin. Even at 1%, it delivers significant antifungal benefits.


Manuka Oil

More potent than Tea Tree Oil in some studies, Manuka Oil is effective against Candida and other stubborn fungal strains. It also enhances the overall antimicrobial profile of the formula.


Clove Bud Oil

Clove contains eugenol, a natural anesthetic and antifungal compound. It offers both infection-fighting and pain-relieving benefits, helping reduce itchiness and discomfort.


Lavender Oil

Lavender Oil is a gentle antifungal that also helps reduce inflammation and accelerate healing. It has a calming scent and is ideal for sensitive skin.


Oregano Oil

Oregano Oil is packed with carvacrol and thymol, two powerful antifungal agents. It works by damaging the fungal membrane, similar to Undecylenic Acid, and boosts the formula’s potency.


Peppermint Oil

With natural menthol, Peppermint Oil provides a cooling, soothing sensation. It helps reduce itching and has antimicrobial effects that complement the other oils.


Propolis Extract

A resin collected by bees, Propolis has potent antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. It supports the immune response in the infected area, helping the body fight the fungus naturally.


Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E Oil)

Vitamin E is an antioxidant that helps protect skin cells from damage. It also aids in skin repair and keeps the area around the nail hydrated and soft, making the treatment more effective.


Snakeroot Oil

Snakeroot Extract has been shown in clinical studies to be as effective as prescription antifungals. It disrupts fungal growth and supports healthy nail recovery.


Eucalyptus Oil

Eucalyptus Oil is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial and antifungal. It prevents new fungal growth and enhances the penetration of other ingredients into the nail.


Final Thoughts

Each ingredient in this formula plays a specific role: some kill the fungus, others soothe the skin, and many enhance absorption or healing. When combined, they create a comprehensive, natural approach to fighting toenail fungus that addresses the complete toenail fungus treatment process from elimination to recovery.

This blend isn’t just about symptom relief — it tackles the root of the infection and promotes long-term nail health
