How Does Foot Odor Happen?

  • Excessive Foot Sweating

    The soles of the feet have an exceptionally high concentration of sweat glands—over 600 per square centimeter.
    Excess sweat turns the inside of shoes into a warm, humid environment, creating ideal conditions for bacteria to grow.

  • Odor-Causing Bacteria

    Bacteria break down proteins, amino acids, and fatty acids found in sweat.
    During this process, they release odor-producing compounds such as isovaleric acid, sulfur compounds, and ammonia, which are responsible for unpleasant foot odor.

  • Damaged Foot Skin Barrier

    Bacterial overgrowth can accelerate the breakdown of the skin’s outer layer on the feet, causing the overall skin condition to gradually worsen.
    When the skin barrier is compromised, it becomes more vulnerable to irritation and may increase the risk of fungal-related foot issues.

Why Novo Foote's Socks Effectively Eliminates Foot Odor

Benefits of ginseng essential oil for the skin of the feet.

Rich in Ginsenosides

Ginsenosides are a class of plant-based saponin compounds. They are neither oils nor hormones, but bioactive molecules that help support and regulate skin function.
Ginsenosides are shown to have both bacteriostatic and bactericidal actions and to exert their effects by several mechanisms, including disruption of biofilms, inhibition of quorum-sensing and virulence factors, and altering motility.
Also, ginsenosides are shown to have antifungal properties as demonstrated by their ability to inhibit the growth of several mold and yeast species.

Rich in Plant Polyphenols

Polyphenols are naturally occurring compounds found in plants and are well known for their antioxidant properties. They are widely used in skincare and cosmetic products to help support healthier skin.
Its effects include inhibiting collagen-degrading enzymes, preserving skin's plumpness and elasticity. Strengthen the skin's natural moisture barrier to improve hydration. Promote cell renewal and tissue repair to keep your skin healthy.

Supports Skin Barrier Repair

Ginsenosides and polyphenols help support skin microcirculation and assist in repairing a mildly compromised skin barrier.
They also help improve the skin’s tolerance to external factors such as seasonal changes and humid conditions.

Improves Skin Condition

Ginsenosides and polyphenols help support healthy blood circulation in the skin, improving dryness and roughness.
This helps leave the skin feeling softer and smoother.

EOMC technology.

A textile craft that locks in essential oil molecules.

Lock In

The essential oil is securely embedded within the fabric fibers, preventing it from evaporating under normal conditions or being quickly washed away during laundering.
This effectively prolongs the duration of ginseng essential oils presence.

Controlled Release

When worn, the socks come into direct contact with the skin, allowing the essential oil to be released gradually and act directly on the skin.
This helps the skin better absorb the ginseng essential oi during everyday wear.

Taking Effect

Ginseng essential oil repairs the skin environment of the feet and inhibits the growth of bacteria on the feet.
As the bacterial count on the feet continues to decrease and the quality of the skin keeps improving, the ultimate effect of deodorization is achieved.

Working together, the ginseng and EOMC technology help fundamentally address foot odor.
