Foot odor often results from wearing shoes and/or socks, especially shoes or socks with inadequate air ventilation, for many hours. Since human feet are densely covered with sweat glands, excessive perspiration of the feet is the result. This perspiration and warmth provide ideal conditions for bacteria and/or fungi to thrive. The presence of the bacteria and/or fungi does not in and of itself cause foot odor; instead, as the bacteria consume dead skin cells and moisture, they in turn produce waste material. This waste material is the cause of foot odor. As physical activity increases, foot perspiration, bacterial growth, and bacterial waste production all increase, causing odor to intensify.

Among the earliest foot deodorants were aromatic herbs such as allspice, which nineteenth-century Russian soldiers would put in their boots. Some types of powders and activated charcoal insoles, such as Odor Eaters, have been developed to combat foot odor, but they are not as effective as thoroughly washing feet, choosing shoes with proper ventilation, changing socks regularly, and wearing shoes only when necessary. It is also recommended to wear socks that fit properly and are made of 100% cotton. If foot odor becomes offensive enough to become an issue in daily life, a physician should be consulted.

LAVILIN kills this bacteria thereby effectively causeing unpleasant foot odor removal. LAVLILIN is based on natural components, which act in conjunction with natural oils and plant extracts, relaxing the foot skin. The food odor removal is attained without using drastic chemical agents. The cream-deodorant does not contain alcohol therefore it is suitable for extra sensitive skin. What is most important, unlike the majority of anti-prespirants and deodorants, LAVILIN is aluminum free. Special researches show that aluminum is very harmful to human organism. Lavilin frees you from the embarrassment of unpleasant perspiration odor regardless of the amount and extent of physical activity. It allows you to bathe, swim, exercise and engage in strenuous sports. Whatever you do, whatever the weather, Lavilin leaves you "odor free".
