FROMONDA’S STORY BEGAN WITH A CONDITION GUY’S DON’T LIKE TO TALK ABOUT.

Every summer as a child my family traveled to my grandfather's cabin in northern Minnesota. One particular summer was unusually warm, so we spent hours each day in the lake, rarely changing out of our swimsuits. From this, I learned my first painful 'down under' lesson. Wearing a wet swimsuit every day for weeks is a sure fire way to get jock itch.

Fortunately for me, my older brother had an aerosol can of athletes foot spray. Problem solved right? Not exactly. I was about to learn my second, and even more painful 'down under' lesson.

Even though the fungus is the same for both conditions, the excessive drying effect on sensitive skin from the athletes foot spray, created an excruciatingly painful situation that can best be described as a snake shedding three layers of skin at the same time. For weeks I walked like John Wayne after a 1000 mile cattle drive.  

As I grew older, I began to use baby powder, and later a variety of talcum powders to reduce the occasional chafing. Being sensitive to fragrances, and wanting a safer more natural alternative than talcum powder, I was always disappointed at the lack of options for a masculine scented natural products that work... So I created my own blend of powder from natural ingredients, blended with essential oils.

FROMONDA WAS BORN...

With much encouragement from Lee, and some gut busting laughter, Fromonda was born. We upgraded our manufacturing to a state of the art cGMP facility, located in the USA. Every ingredient is tested multiple times for purity and safety, without ever testing on animals. Many of our labels and packaging are made from recycled materials and biopolimers. We source our materials from American small businesses, to support job creation, and reduce the carbon footprint of overseas importation.
