Forces of Nature Athlete's Foot Jock/Itch Control
Pros
Cons
Forces of Nature Athlete’s Foot / Jock Itch Control combines homeopathic ingredients with botanicals to help treat the uncomfortable itching, irritation, and fungal infection often associated with athlete’s foot or jock itch. Homeopathic products like this work in a different way than traditional products and possibly lack the traditional chemicals found in other brands of athlete’s foot products that make them more effective.
What’s in Forces of Nature Athlete’s Foot Jock Itch Control?
- Hydrocotyle Asiatica
- Silicea
- Thuja Occidentalis
- Pelargonium Graveolens Oil
- Eugenia Caryophyllata Oil
- Melaleuca Alternifolia Oil
- Natural Skin-Cleansing Benefits
- Sesamum Indicum Oil
Hydrocotyle Asiatica, Silicea and Thuja Occidentalis help to remedy itchy skin, while the next two are antifungals. Sesamum penetrates deeply below the epidermis to reach and kill the fungus. The other oils act as astringents, natural cleansers and skin-soothing agents. This homeopathic blend is missing Undecylenic Acid, a key natural ingredient found in many remedies clinically confirmed as being able to kill the athlete’s foot or jock itch fungus.
How to Use Forces of Nature Athlete’s Foot Jock Itch Control
For athlete’s foot, apply a few drops to the affected area 3 times a day for 4 weeks after first washing and drying the area carefully. To treat athlete’s foot use daily for 4 weeks; for jock itch, use daily for 2 weeks. The manufacturer recommends that you wear well ventilated shoes and change your socks at least once a day. For external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes; in the event of contact, flush with water and seek advice from medical personnel. If irritation occurs or if there is no improvement within 4 weeks, discontinue use and consult a doctor. Some individuals may be sensitive to tea tree or other oils. Not to be used with children under 2 years of age. Do not use for diaper rash. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children. The manufacturer states that there should be no side effects when using this treatment. If you have ultra-sensitive skin you may have a reaction to the oils, but this is extremely rare. If you don’t see an improvement after four weeks, consult a doctor. If you are pregnant or nursing, ask a health professional before use.
The Cost
On the manufacturer’s website, Athlete’s Foot Jock/Itch Control costs $7.96 for a 4ml bottle, $14.95 for a 11ml bottle, and $27.88 for a 33ml bottle (best value).

There is free US shipping included in orders over $39. There are no discounts for first time or bulk buyers but it is better value in the long run to buy a larger size bottle (33ml) than buying multiple small ones.
Is There a Guarantee

This includes opened bottles as well as closed ones. It is not clear if you can return more than one bottle, and this is unlikely.
The Conclusion of Our Forces of Nature Athlete’s Foot Jock Itch Control Review
We liked that the product is USDA Certified organic, contains no toxins, no pesticides, no chemicals, is FDA registered, and manufactured tin the USA under the strictest quality regulations. We also were impressed with the generous 12 month return policy that includes even an opened bottle of the product. Also useful s the offer of free shipping if you spend over $39. Among the negative comments we had are that some consumer reviewers stated that the new dispensing mechanism now makes the oil more difficult to apply. In terms of the active ingredients, we question if a homeopathic product that is lacking Undecylenic Acid can effectively kill the jock itch/athlete’s foot fungi and prevent it from returning in the long run. We suggest shopping around for the most effective and reliable treatment that you can find.
