Detail

Foot odor is commonly caused by bacterial growth in moist environments such as socks and shoes. Conventional antibacterial socks are often treated with synthetic chemicals that may cause skin irritation and environmental concerns. This research aims to develop eco-friendly antibacterial socks using natural extracts of betel leaf (Piper betle), aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis), and tea tree oil (Melaleuca alternifolia).
