50th Anniversary of APMA's Seal Program
continued from page 11
The Seal of Acceptance is granted to shoes, socks, insoles,
materials, and equipment. The Seal of Approval is granted to
therapeutic products such as lotions, deodorizers, wound care
treatments, regulated medical devices, and pharmaceuticals.
Products granted the Seal of Approval
may be available over the counter or by
prescription only.
The Seal recognizes products that
have been found beneficial to foot
health and of significant value when
used in a consistently applied program
of daily foot care and regular professional treatment. The Seal is not an
endorsement, but a recognition granted to products. To earn the Seal, each
product is reviewed and wear-tested,
when applicable, by a group of APMA podiatrists to ensure it
promotes foot health. The committee also looks at information
on the product's safety, quality control, and other data.

Seal under certain circumstances."1 This action was a result of
mutual interest between the Mennen Company and APMA, and
was later reported in the March 1967 issue of the Journal
of the American Podiatry Association
(now JAPMA). The program was closely modeled after one created by the
American Dental Association (ADA).
At the same time the board issued
this directive, it accepted a recommendation that the Seal be granted to three
Mennen Company products under the
Quinsana brand-a penetrating foam, a
foot powder, and an aerosol foot deodorant-with the statement that each
