Whales live in water. Feet live on land.
Dryello started with one dermatologist’s simple observation on a beach in Maui — and it turned into the first dry stick antifungal ever made. No creams. No mess. Just dry, happy feet.
Dr. Carl Schanbacher has spent over 25 years as a board-certified dermatologist, treating every kind of skin infection there is. Athlete’s foot kept showing up with the same problem attached: the treatments were as annoying as the condition.
Creams left residue. Sprays missed the spot. Powders made a mess of the sock drawer. Patients quit before the fungus did. Dr. Carl figured there had to be a smarter way to get tolnaftate — a proven antifungal — onto actual feet.
The idea clicked while Dr. Carl was watching his sons windsurf off Maui. A whale surfaced nearby, and it hit him:
"Whales live in water. Whales like to be wet. Feet live on land — feet like to be dry."
Moisture is exactly what fungus wants. So instead of adding more wetness to already-sweaty feet, Dr. Carl set out to build a treatment that stayed bone dry from swipe to finish — for his own fungus-prone feet, and everyone else’s.
