Safe, Effective, and Chemical-Free Relief for Itchy, Cracked, and Peeling Feet from Athlete's Foot.
What Is Athlete’s Foot?
Athlete’s foot, or tinea pedis, is a common fungal infection that affects the skin on the feet—especially between the toes. It often starts with itching, burning, or peeling and can worsen if left untreated, spreading to the soles or even the toenails.
While many people turn to over-the-counter creams, sprays, or powders, these often contain harsh chemicals, steroids, or synthetic antifungals that can irritate sensitive skin. At Lighthouse Science & Wellness, we take a gentler—but highly effective—approach using hypochlorous acid (HOCl), a compound your body already produces naturally to fight infections.
What Causes Athlete’s Foot?
Athlete’s foot is caused by a group of fungi known as dermatophytes. These fungi thrive in warm, moist environments, such as:
Sweaty shoes and socks
Public showers or locker rooms
Shared yoga mats or gym floors
Damp towels or bathroom floors
Once the fungus finds a home on your skin, it can multiply quickly—especially if the feet remain warm and moist.
Who Is at Risk?
Anyone can get athlete’s foot, but your risk increases if you:
Go barefoot in public places (like pools or locker rooms)
Sweat heavily or wear non-breathable shoes
Don’t change socks regularly
Have diabetes or a weakened immune system
Already have a toenail fungus or foot skin breakdown
Signs and Symptoms to Watch For
Itchy, red, or scaly skin
Cracked or peeling skin between the toes
Burning or stinging sensation
Blisters or oozing patches
A musty or unpleasant foot odor
Early treatment is key to preventing spread to the nails or other parts of the body.
A Natural, Gentle Way to Treat Athlete’s Foot
Our Lighthouse HOCl Spray + Serum Bundle offers a powerful yet non-toxic alternative to traditional antifungal treatments.
👣 Step 1: Wash and Dry Your Feet
Use a gentle, non-drying soap and warm water to cleanse your feet, especially between the toes. Pat dry thoroughly—fungus thrives in moisture.
🔹 Step 2: Cleanse with Daily Defense Spray (0.02% HOCl)
Our HOCl spray is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial that helps eliminate bacteria, fungus, and biofilm from the skin—without alcohol, fragrance, or sting.
How to use:
Spray directly onto clean, dry feet
Focus between the toes and affected areas
Let air dry—do not rinse
Spray inside shoes to reduce fungal load and odor
Use 1–2 times daily
🔹 Step 3: Treat with Repair + Restore Serum (0.03% HOCl)
This thicker serum is designed for targeted healing, especially where skin is cracked, inflamed, or peeling.
How to use:
Shake well before each use
Apply 1–2 drops between the toes or on irritated skin
Gently massage into the area
Let air dry
Safe for use around and under toenails
Why Hypochlorous Acid?
Hypochlorous acid is a compound your body naturally makes in response to infection. When used topically, it helps:
Kill fungus and bacteria
Reduce redness and inflammation
Promote faster skin healing
Protect against reinfection
Unlike harsh antifungals, HOCl is non-irritating, safe for daily use, and effective for both acute flare-ups and long-term prevention.
Pro Tips to Prevent Recurrence
Change socks daily (more often if they get sweaty)
Choose breathable shoes and rotate pairs
Keep feet dry—especially between the toes
Disinfect your shoes regularly with HOCl spray
Avoid going barefoot in public spaces
Final Thoughts
Athlete’s foot doesn’t have to mean chemical creams and drugstore powders. With our HOCl Spray + Serum Bundle, you get a science-backed, skin-friendly solution that supports your body’s natural healing process—without harsh ingredients.
