Our patented peptide came out of scientific research. And we’ve been looking at fungal nails every day since 2018.
Scientific publications have been written about the peptide in tiptoe naildrops.
The peptide is made from amino acids naturally found in the body and is biodegradable.
The peptide is the result of years of study and research by microbiologists. It’s patented, and tiptoe holds the exclusive licence to use it.
Suitable from age 4, also during pregnancy and with medication. For external use only.
The trick isn’t rubbing harder. It’s sticking with it. Three steps that work together: treat, care and protect.
The active step. You apply the drops with the patented peptide at the base of the nail, where new nail grows.

A fungal nail develops over time, and recovery takes time too. That’s why we show you upfront what to expect.
It grows out. What you see now stays visible until it’s been replaced.
That’s where you’ll see it first. A nail grows about 1 mm every 6 weeks.
How long that takes depends on how deep the infection went and on any underlying causes.

The questions we hear most about fungal nails and the tiptoe routine.
Yes, you can start at home with the tiptoe routine. We recommend using the drops, the foam and the spray together, so the nail, the skin and your feet all get attention. If your nail is badly affected, talk to your GP or a podiatrist first. Not sure how far along your nail is? Take our free nail test to see which approach suits you.
A fungal nail infection (onychomycosis) develops when fungi grow on or under the nail. Bacteria and fungi live on everyone’s skin. If they get the chance to get into a nail, an infection can develop. Not every thick or discoloured nail is fungal, though: psoriasis or an injury can look similar. If in doubt, have it checked by your GP.
Everyone has fungi on their skin and under the edges of their nails. If the fungus gets into the skin or nail and spreads, an infection develops. Warmth and moisture make that more likely. It usually starts on a nail that’s been damaged: through sport, a trip to the sauna or swimming pool, tight shoes or stubbing your toe. Thick, discoloured nails can also develop without a fungal infection, especially as you get older.
A fungal nail usually doesn’t cause serious problems, but many people find it annoying or feel embarrassed because of how it looks. The skin around it can also itch and look a little red. And sometimes the nail doesn’t smell fresh, which is caused by the fungus itself.
Fungal nails aren’t hereditary, but some people are more prone to them than others. Men get them a little more often than women, because their skin tends to be moister. People who play sport, smokers and people with lower resistance, diabetes, heart and vascular disease, eczema or psoriasis are also more at risk. And you become more prone to them as you get older.
Yes, a fungal nail infection is contagious. You pick up the fungi through tiny flakes of skin from other people (or animals) with a fungal infection. Whether that actually leads to an infection partly depends on your resistance. Once you have one, you can pass it on to others too. A thick or discoloured nail without a fungal infection isn’t contagious.
