Greenwood Boric Acid Powder 100g is a topical antiseptic and antifungal powder made in England, used to help manage foot odour, athlete's foot and minor skin irritations. This single-ingredient boric acid powder offers an affordable, versatile option for everyday foot care and antiseptic use, with a 100g pack that lasts through repeated applications.

How It Works

Boric acid is a weak topical anti-infective with mild antifungal, antibacterial and astringent properties. When applied to the skin or dusted into socks and footwear, it helps create a drier, less hospitable environment for the fungus and bacteria linked to athlete's foot and unpleasant foot odour, while gently absorbing excess moisture. By lowering surface moisture and slightly altering skin pH, it can help ease the itching and irritation that often accompany mild fungal conditions. This makes boric acid powder a practical, low-cost choice for everyday foot hygiene, particularly in the warm and humid UAE climate where feet are prone to sweat and odour build-up inside closed shoes.

Important Information

Boric acid is for external use only and must never be swallowed. Do not apply it to open wounds, broken, burned or heavily abraded skin, as it can be absorbed and become toxic. Keep out of reach of children and pets, and avoid contact with the eyes unless using a product specifically formulated for ophthalmic use. It is not recommended for infants, young children, or during pregnancy. Discontinue use if you notice redness, burning or irritation, and do not use it for longer than directed. Always read the label and consult your healthcare provider or pharmacist before use, especially if you are pregnant, nursing or have a known sensitivity, so they can confirm it is suitable for your needs.
