Manuka Oil: The Underrated Antifungal for Stubborn Toenail Infections

Manuka Oil: The Underrated Antifungal for Stubborn Toenail Infections

While many are familiar with tea tree oil and vinegar soaks, Manuka oil is quietly building a reputation as a natural ingredient that supports nail and skin health. But what makes it different?

What the Research (and Users) Say

Although formal clinical trials are limited, early studies and traditional use suggest Manuka oil may have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. It may help keep the nail environment balanced —an important factor for managing nail concerns.

What Makes It Appealing

  • Gentler than tea tree oil and less irritating to the skin
  • Contains beta-triketones, a compound that appears to inhibit fungal growth
  • Powerful even in very low concentrations

Why It’s In FunghiClear®

FunghiClear® uses Manuka oil as a foundational ingredient because it aligns with the product’s goal: consistent, natural support for healthier-looking nails over time.

If you're exploring gentle, natural ingredients to support nail clarity, consider adding Manuka oil to your routine—with FunghiClear® making it easy to apply every day.
