Mikoherb at BENU — is it available?
Short answer: no. Neither Mikoherb nor Mikotea is part of the BENU assortment, and no listing there comes from the distributor. This page explains why, what direct distribution means in practice, and what to look at if you find either name on sale somewhere else.
About BENU
BENU runs a large pharmacy network in Slovenia with an online catalogue and a well-developed cosmetics section. It operates in Slovenia, Czechia, Slovakia, Netherlands.
BENU’s assortment is built through pharmaceutical wholesalers and framework agreements with cosmetic manufacturers. Getting a line onto those shelves means entering that wholesale chain — a process that adds several intermediaries between the manufacturer and the customer.
Mikoherb is distributed directly instead: from the distributor to the customer, with a confirmation call in between. That is why the BENU catalogue does not list it, and why the price on this site is set by the distributor rather than accumulated along a supply chain.
Neither Mikoherb nor Mikotea appears in the BENU catalogue. Both are supplied directly by the distributor: you leave a name and a phone number, a consultant calls back to confirm the address, quantity and delivery cost, and you pay when the parcel arrives.
Pharmacy alternatives compared with the original
Pharmacy chains carry plenty of foot-care cosmetics, and some of them will look similar on the shelf. The differences that actually matter are in the formula, the format and the provenance rather than in the branding.
| Typical pharmacy chain alternative | Mikoherb (official channel) | |
|---|---|---|
| Category | Cosmetic foot and nail care; occasionally a registered medicine, which is a different category entirely | Cosmetic product for external care — stated plainly on every page |
| Formula | Varies widely; synthetic actives, urea-based softeners and plant blends all appear | Six plant ingredients: oregano, tea tree, peppermint, chamomile, lavender, fennel |
| Format | Creams, lacquers, sprays, pens | A 30 ml gel that absorbs in under a minute |
| Certification | EU cosmetic product rules apply to all cosmetics regardless of where they are sold | The same rules apply — channel does not change the legal category |
| Provenance | Verified through the wholesale chain | Single distributor, confirmation call before dispatch |
| Price | Varies by brand and pack size; comparing labels is more useful than comparing prices | Set by the distributor and shown on each country page |
| Payment | At the till or online in advance | Cash on delivery, no prepayment |
As a rule, alternatives can cost anywhere from a modest amount to considerably more depending on brand and format. We do not publish specific comparative prices, because they change and any figure here would mislead within weeks.

Is Mikoherb sold at BENU?
No. Mikoherb is not part of the BENU assortment. It is distributed directly by the distributor through the order form on this site, with a confirmation call and payment on delivery.
Is Mikotea sold at BENU?
No. The same applies to the Mikotea herbal soak — it is not listed by BENU and is available only through the official order channel in the markets where it is sold.
Why is it not stocked there?
Pharmacy chains buy through pharmaceutical wholesalers under central framework agreements. A single directly distributed cosmetic line does not enter that channel. It is a supply-chain arrangement, not a statement about the product.
Is a product less trustworthy because it is not in BENU?
No. Pharmacy listing is a commercial and logistical arrangement, not a quality certificate. What matters for a cosmetic is the ingredient list, the labelling and how honestly the product describes itself.
Which Slovenian pharmacies do stock it?
None, as far as we are aware. Distribution in Slovenia runs through the order form on this site with cash on delivery.
What should I check before ordering elsewhere?
Whether there is a confirmation call before dispatch, whether prepayment is demanded, and whether the format matches — Mikoherb is a 30 ml tube and Mikotea a 50 g pack of dried herbs.
