What is Poderm's Color Care Tea Tree used for?
The Swiss laboratory Poderm offers Color Care Tea Tree, a nail polish designed to color the nails while helping to preserve their strength and vitality. Its formula combines three key ingredients: tea tree essential oil, silicon, and biotin, also known as vitamin B8.
Tea tree essential oil is known for its purifying properties. It helps maintain a healthy nail surface and complements the recommended hygiene practices for nails that are weakened or exposed to microorganisms. However, this nail polish is not a substitute for antifungal treatment in cases of diagnosed fungal infections.
Silicon helps strengthen the nail’s structure and maintain its strength. Naturally present in the body, this trace element helps maintain connective tissues and supports the structure of keratin, the main component of nails.
Biotin rounds out the formula by helping to maintain healthy nails. This combination allows you to combine color, protection, and care in a single step. Poderm Color Care Tea Tree helps beautify your nails while preventing them from becoming brittle. Its formula contains no formaldehyde, toluene, or dibutyl phthalate (DBP).
We also offer Avril Organic Eye Pencil 1g, which lets you intensify your eyes while caring for them.
How to use it?

Our Naturopathic Recommendations for Treating Nail Fungus
A yellowed, thickened, or lifted nail does not necessarily indicate a fungal infection. A medical evaluation and, if necessary, a sample test can confirm onychomycosis before starting treatment. As a preventive measure, keep your nails short and dry, thoroughly dry the spaces between your toes, and change your socks every day. Choose breathable shoes, rotate your pairs, and clean the insides regularly. Use a separate nail file and nail clippers for the affected nail, and do not share them. The tea tree essential oil in this nail polish complements this routine, but it is not a substitute for a medicated antifungal nail polish. A nail fungus often requires several months of treatment due to the slow growth of the nail.
Frequently Asked Questions About Poderm Color Care Tea Tree
Can I treat a fungal nail infection with Poderm Color Care Tea Tree?
Poderm Color Care Tea Tree is a cosmetic nail polish, not an antifungal medication. It helps protect and beautify the nail, but it is not a substitute for treatment recommended by a doctor or pharmacist.
Can I apply Poderm Color Care Tea Tree to a nail with a fungal infection?
You should consult a healthcare professional before using it in combination with an antifungal nail polish. Applying a cosmetic nail polish over an antifungal treatment may not be recommended, depending on the medication used and its application instructions.
How can I prevent a fungal nail infection from recurring?
It is recommended to dry your feet thoroughly, change your socks daily, wear well-ventilated shoes, and avoid sharing manicure tools. Treatment should be continued for the full recommended duration, even if the appearance of the nail begins to improve.
