The foot powder against smelly shoes is back!
Sweaty feet and unpleasant shoe odor are among the most common everyday problems in foot care. At the same time, they are often persistent: because the smell does not arise from sweat itself, but from microbiological processes in the warm, moist shoe environment. For years, the odaban® shoe powder has offered a proven solution that targets exactly where odors arise: directly inside the shoe. In practice, a foot and shoe powder fulfills several tasks at once: Reduce moisture in the shoe.Prevent odor formation.Make the shoe climate more hygienic.Improve the wearing comfort. Many customers have missed it, and finally we can announce: After a two-year market break, the odaban® shoe powder is available again. This time was deliberately used to professionally revise the formula and align it with current requirements for skin compatibility and modern ingredient systems. The result is an advanced formulation that retains the proven function – reducing odor formation and reliably binding moisture – while significantly improving comfort and skin friendliness. Below we present the most important innovations compared to the previous formula. Overview of the most important new features Cornstarch as a natural absorber The new formula relies on a natural, plant-based absorber instead of mineral talc. For this, Zea Mays Starch (cornstarch) has been added, replacing talc. Cornstarch is plant-based, especially skin-friendly and breathable, and absorbs moisture very well without drying out the skin. This creates a silky-dry skin feeling instead of a powdery-heavy film. At the same time, this modern alternative meets the desire of many users for cleaner and more natural formulations. Improved wearing comfort Moisture control and slip resistance have also been specifically optimized. With magnesium carbonate hydroxide, a powerful moisture binder is used that efficiently absorbs sweat and thus ensures dry feet. This reduces friction and noticeably improves comfort inside the shoe. Additionally, this effect supports odor reduction because a moist environment – the basis for odor formation – is consistently minimized. No more drying out For improved skin compatibility, the formula was specifically optimized according to skin physiology. Now zinc gluconate is used instead of zinc oxide or zinc undecylenate. This form of zinc is considered especially skin-friendly, well bioavailable, and sebum-regulating, and is known for its antibacterial properties, soothing effect, and support of a healthy skin flora. Additionally, drying ingredients were omitted: denatured alcohol was removed and replaced by glycerin and propylene glycol. This better preserves the natural skin barrier, reduces feelings of tightness, and prevents excessive drying – especially important for sensitive skin, cracked or heavily stressed feet, and for daily long-term use. Targeted plant power The plant component was also modernized: The new formula relies on selected plant extracts instead of strong essential oils. Newly included are Mentha Piperita (peppermint) and Salvia Officinalis (sage). This combination acts naturally antibacterial and odor-inhibiting, provides a refreshing and cooling sensation, and can support sweat regulation as well as soothe the skin. Improved application: shaker instead of measuring spoon The odaban® shoe powder has also been further optimized in use: Instead of the previous small measuring spoon, the new packaging now has a practical shaker. This allows the powder to be applied directly, evenly, and much more hygienically into the shoe. Dosing becomes easier and more controlled without the product having to be awkwardly removed. At the same time, the shaker function ensures better distribution inside the shoe – especially in the area of the insole and toe space, where moisture and odor often arise. This makes everyday use faster, cleaner, and overall more comfortable. Who benefits most from the shoe powder? The new version is especially useful if: Shoes smell again and again despite airing out you sweat heavily or wear closed shoes for a long time sports shoes or work shoes are heavily used you are looking for a hygienic solution that does not just mask odors skin compatibility and a well-cared-for feeling are important to you Conclusion: Further development with focus on hygiene, moisture, and everyday suitability The odaban® shoe powder was already an established aid against shoe odor as a predecessor product. However, the new generation clearly moves the formula towards: better moisture management more targeted odor neutralization consistent hygiene focus fresher, more well-cared-for application experience Those who do not want to cover up shoe odor but address the cause sustainably will find a practical and high-quality addition for everyday use.

Removing sweat stains – this is how you really get rid of them
Almost everyone knows the problem: sweat stains on clothing, which are often difficult to wash out. Especially on white shirts or light clothing, yellowish discolorations quickly appear. But dark fabrics are not spared either – here, light edges often remain. In this article, you will learn how to effectively remove sweat stains, which home remedies help, and how you can prevent the formation of sweat stains in the long term with odaban®. Why do sweat stains occur at all? Sweat itself is colorless. The unsightly stains occur when sweat reacts with bacteria and often also with deo ingredients (e.g., aluminum salts). This causes the fabric to discolor – usually yellowish on light clothing and whitish on dark clothing. Removing sweat stains – the best tips 1. Treat Immediately The longer a sweat stain sets, the harder it is to remove. Therefore, wash clothes as soon as possible. 2. Vinegar & Citric Acid Vinegar essence (diluted with water) is good against yellow stains. Citric acid can brighten light fabrics again. Simply let it work before washing. 3. Baking Powder or Baking Soda A real home remedy: mix with water to form a paste, apply to the stains, let sit briefly, then wash. 4. Salt Solution Mix salt with warm water, soak the stains, and then wash normally. 5. Gall Soap For stubborn sweat rings, gall soap is a classic that removes stains and neutralizes odors. Prevention is better than removal To prevent sweat stains from forming in the first place, it makes sense to reduce excessive sweating. This is exactly where the products from odaban® help: 1. odaban® Spray The clinically proven antiperspirant reliably reduces sweat production. Just a few applications per week are enough to keep dry underarms – and thus prevent new sweat stains from forming. 2. odaban® Balance Dry Capsules Supports the body from within to regulate excessive sweating. In combination with the spray, the perfect solution to avoid sweat stains in the long term. Conclusion Sweat stains are annoying – but with the right home remedies, they can often be removed again. However, if you want lasting peace, you should address the cause: excessive sweating. With odaban® Spray and odaban® Balance Dry, you can prevent sweat stains in advance – and your clothes will stay fresher and stain-free longer.
