Nourishing Cuticle Oil

Cuticle oil hydrates and nourishes both the cuticles and the nails. It helps to prevent dryness, cracking, and peeling, promoting healthier nail growth. Regular use strengthens the nails, making them more resistant to damage. Oils rich in natural ingredients, like vitamin E and sweet almond oil, are especially effective at conditioning and protecting your nails.

For optimal results, apply cuticle oil once or twice a day. In the morning and before bed is ideal. For dry or damaged cuticles, you may choose to apply it more frequently to restore hydration. Regular use over time will improve nail flexibility, growth and overall health.

Look for cuticle oils that contain natural oils like jojoba, almond, or argan oil. These ingredients are known for their moisturizing and healing properties. Vitamin E is also essential for nourishing and strengthening nails. Avoid oils with synthetic fragrances or harsh chemicals, as they can irritate the skin and cuticles.

While Vaseline can provide some moisture and act as a barrier, it lacks the specific nutrients found in cuticle oils. Cuticle oils are formulated with lighter oils that absorb easily into the skin, providing deeper hydration without feeling greasy. Vaseline, on the other hand, can clog pores and prevent the skin from breathing properly. For best results, stick to a dedicated cuticle oil.

Treatment base coats can be used as a base coat as part of your Green manicure.

However, they cannot be used instead of a Green Flash™ base coat, which needs to dry under the lamp.

A single coat is enough.

For maximum staying power, we recommend that you only use Green Flash™ Base Coat.

All our treatment base coats can be removed like our polish - with our Nail Polish Remover or Green Flash™ Nail Polish Remover.

When using a treatment base coat, there's no need to remove the previous coat.

Our nail care formulas are green and clean: they are up to 99% plant-based, i.e. made from biomass ingredients like aloe vera, lemon, ginseng, pomegranate and grape. However, women should avoid all types of nail polish when they are pregnant or breastfeeding. We recommend you speak to a healthcare professional if you are unsure.

Our nail care formulas meet European standards and do not contain any sensitising substances. They are also certified gluten-free and safe for people with gluten intolerance or celiac disease, as are our Green Flash™, Green™ and Active™ ranges. Most customers who are allergic to regular nail care products are not allergic to the Manucurist nail care range. However, as allergic reactions are not specifically linked to chemical ingredients, they can sometimes occur with plant-based ingredients. We recommend you speak to a healthcare professional if you are unsure.
