4. Mild Protection Against Irritation
Cracked heels can allow bacteria to enter, increasing the risk of infection. While Colgate’s modern formulas no longer include triclosan, some variants still offer mild antibacterial properties.
John, 50, reported fewer flare-ups and reduced redness after applying Colgate regularly. It’s not a disinfectant, but it may offer light protection as part of a regular routine (Clinical Microbiology, 2018).
3. Revitalizes Tired, Achy Feet
After long days, Lisa, 47, used to feel like she was walking on fire. A Colgate foot rub helped invigorate her sore soles with a refreshing tingle. The gentle massage and menthol may help stimulate circulation—a win-win for those ending the day on sore, swollen feet.
Studies in the Journal of Alternative Medicine (2020) suggest menthol combined with massage can temporarily improve microcirculation, which may contribute to that “light on your feet” feeling.
2. Works Well With Other Natural Remedies
Want a moisture boost? Mix Colgate with tomato pulp or honey. Maria, 55, found that combining toothpaste with tomato’s hydrating, vitamin-rich content left her heels feeling nourished and noticeably softer.
Other options: try olive oil for deep hydration, or a few drops of tea tree oil for added antibacterial benefits.
1. Boosts Confidence in Every Step
Emily, 49, used to hide her feet in public. Now, she flaunts open sandals without worry. Weekly Colgate treatments brought back smoothness, which she hadn’t seen in years. Consistency was key—and the payoff was real.
Feeling good in your own skin (and shoes) can make a world of difference.
