Mikoherb at Lekarna Ljubljana — is it available?
Short answer: no. Neither Mikoherb nor Mikotea is part of the Lekarna Ljubljana 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 Lekarna Ljubljana
Lekarna Ljubljana is the largest public pharmacy institution in Slovenia, with dozens of branches and a well-known online store. It operates in Slovenia.
As a public institution its assortment is governed by procurement rules and by supply agreements with registered wholesalers. That framework is designed for medicines and for established product categories, and it does not readily accommodate a single directly distributed cosmetic line.
The practical consequence is simple: you will not find Mikoherb in a Lekarna Ljubljana branch or in its online store. In Slovenia it is ordered through the form on this site with payment on delivery.
Neither Mikoherb nor Mikotea appears in the Lekarna Ljubljana 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 Lekarna Ljubljana?
No. Mikoherb is not part of the Lekarna Ljubljana 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 Lekarna Ljubljana?
No. The same applies to the Mikotea herbal soak — it is not listed by Lekarna Ljubljana 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.
Could Lekarna Ljubljana order it specially?
A pharmacy can order what a registered wholesaler supplies. These products are outside the wholesale channel, so a special order has no route to fulfilment.
Is buying outside a pharmacy a problem for a cosmetic?
No. Cosmetics are not restricted to pharmacy sale in the EU. What matters is that the product is labelled properly and described honestly — which is why this site states plainly that it is a cosmetic and not a medicine.
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.
