Maku Mānuka Cuticle Oil uses the key healing ingredients from our Mānuka Salve, without beeswax, in a convenient reusable oil pen dispenser with brush applicator.
When my daughter Anthea completed her training as a nail technician, she asked to experiment with my Mānuka activated olive oil as a cuticle oil. Her clients loved it; the handy oil pen made it easy to keep applying the oil regularly for its many benefits.
Using no animal products, this is a vegan product tested on humans. A cuticle oil pen makes a lovely gift.
Benefits of Mānuka Cuticle Oil
- Nourishes and hydrates the nail matrix (where new keratin cells build the growing nail) for stronger new nail growth
- Prevents flaky, splitting and separating nails
- Heals and prevents broken skin
- Prolongs professional manicures and nail enhancements
- Improves the look of your manicure or natural nails, adding sheen and hydrating dry, flaky skin. Dead skin flakes are instantly invisible
- Protects against infection with the antifungal and antibacterial properties of Mānuka
Like Mānuka Salve, the oil can be used on any skin complaint including cuts and eczema - see the Mānuka Salve page for a full list.
Nail care advice
Along with a healthy diet, there are some extra steps you can take to grow beautiful healthy strong nails:
- Avoid soaking your nails as they are porous and will absorb water, which expands the nail. The nail will shrink back down as the water dries out, but this process weakens the bonds between the layers of keratin in the nail. It will also cause any nail products to separate from your nail, chipping and flaking away.
- Use gloves to protect your nails while gardening, cleaning and whenever practical. Exposure to cleaning products and rough activities will damage your nails. Dishwashing liquid is designed to lift oil and will dry out your nails, so keep gloves ready for dishwashing.
- Don't pick or bite at hangnails, rough edges, or lifting product (like gel, acrylic etc). Use a fine nail file to gently buff away sharp bits - you can also run it over dead dry skin before applying cuticle oil.
- Don't suck or chew your fingers and nails saliva is extremely bad for nails. It penetrates like water does, but has enzymes which are made to start digesting your food. Saliva dries out your skin and nails making them prone to splitting, separating, breaking. If you have broken skin, saliva can cause an infection.
- Reapply cuticle oil after handwashing, and especially before bed when the oil will have plenty of time to penetrate and hydrate.
