Description
NSP Pau D’Arco Lotion — Skin Protection from the Amazon Rainforest
NSP Pau D’Arco Lotion (SKU 21912) is a topical natural remedy made from Tabebuia heptaphylla bark extract — the legendary “ant tree” from the Amazon rainforest. Indigenous peoples of South America have used Pau D’Arco for over 1,500 years to protect and heal skin conditions.
What Makes Pau D’Arco So Effective
Pau D’Arco bark contains unique naphthoquinones: lapachol and beta-lapachone. These compounds have been studied for their natural antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties.
| Component | Skin Action |
|---|---|
| Lapachol | Inhibits fungal and bacterial growth |
| Beta-lapachone | Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant |
| Bark extract | Restores skin’s protective barrier |
| Moisturizing base | Nourishes and softens skin |
When to Use NSP Pau D’Arco Lotion
- Fungal infections — athlete’s foot, nail fungus, ringworm
- Bacterial irritations — minor wounds, rashes, skin breakouts
- Dry and cracked skin — elbows, heels, palms
- Scalp issues — dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis
- Post-shaving irritation — calms and soothes
- Intertrigo — skin folds, diaper rash
How It Works
- Disrupts microbial membranes — lapachol penetrates and destroys fungal/bacterial cell walls
- Reduces inflammation — soothes redness, itching, and swelling
- Accelerates healing — promotes skin cell renewal
- Supports healthy skin microbiome — balances protective bacteria
How to Use
- Apply 1–2 times daily to clean, dry affected areas
- Gently massage until fully absorbed
- For fungal conditions: use for 21–30 days consistently
- For chronic conditions: repeat course after a 1–2 week break

Consultant Comment
Pau d’Arco (Tabebuia impetiginosa) is an Amazonian tree bark with millennia of use by indigenous peoples. Its active compounds — beta-lapachone and lapachol — are documented antifungals. NSP Pau d’Arco Lotion is ideal for areas prone to fungal problems: feet, between toes, nail beds, and skin folds. In client work I see the best results when topical lotion is combined with internal Caprylic Acid — addressing both surface and systemic aspects together. Apply twice daily to clean, dry skin.
