In this review of Healing Tree Healthy Nail Anti-fungal Treatment, we see how it works to fight fungal infections ( toenail and fingernail) and soothe skin with a combination of natural oils and active ingredient Benzethonium Chloride. A free nail file is included with this product. The manufacturer claims that this product is 60.85% natural and is wax, alcohol, and paraben free.
Ingredients
Benzethonium Chloride 0.25%
This is a chemically engineered ingredient which is responsible for the destruction of the fungus. This is a potent ingredient, as it commonly used in some household cleaning products, and therefore the manufacturer cannot release a greater concentration than 0.25% before the chemical becomes harmful for the skin.
Other Ingredients:
- Water
- Jojoba Oil
- Tea Tree Oil
- White Thyme Oil
- Thickener (not specified)
Benzethonium Chloride is a potent anti-fungal and antiseptic which disables fungus from growing. Although this might be an effective antifungal, we have seen that a 25% concentration of the anti-fungal Undecylenic acid always wields positive results.
Jojoba Oil (also known to be a source of Vitamin E) acts as a transporter for other ingredients as it dives down into the skin to moisturize it. Tea Tree Oil is a complex oil which has antimicrobial and antiseptic properties which kill the fungus.
White Thyme Oil acts as an antibacterial which fights the fungus at its source and prevents the fungus from spreading. We are concerned that a thickener has been added to the ingredients as this might put the formulation at a disadvantage.
Dosage
Apply a small amount of the solution onto the surface, around and on top of the affected nail, up to four times a day.
Price
The product is available for online purchase at $16.95 for 1Oz tube and qualifies for free shipping, but is also available through selected third-party retailers.
Guarantee
The only information regarding returns or guarantee is a statement the manufacturer has made on their website that the customer service lines need to be contacted for returns related inquiries. We are taken aback at this because we feel that if there is a guarantee that will protect the customer, they should display it on their website.
Healing Tree Healthy Nail AntiFungal Treatment Review – Conclusion
Healing Tree Healthy Nail AntiFungal Treatment is a combination of essential oils as well as an active ingredient Benzethonium Chloride which is free from parables, wax, and alcohol. We also like that the product is affordable, but after our research, we certainly have been exposed to the product’s downsides.
The fact that only 0.25% concentration of the active ingredient can be added to the formula before becoming harmful certainly draws negative attention . When we compare this to leading brands which utilize a 25% concentration of the strongest clinically proven anti-fungal, undecylenic acid, it makes us wonder if Benzethonium Chloride was the smartest choice of active ingredient. We are also doubtful about there being any guarantee, as it is uncommon that a customer has to make a call to find out about returns. Most leading brands protect their customers with a 365-day guarantee which they advertise on their websites. After taking everything into account, we regret that we cannot suggest that anyone buys this product.
