How Nail Refresh works

Nail Refresh is a botanical topical oil — not a pill and not a drug. Here's the thinking behind the blend, how it's meant to be used, and the honest, patient expectations behind a nail routine.

The method

Three simple ideas behind the oil

There's nothing mysterious here. Nail Refresh is built to do three plain things, day after day, on the surface of the nail and the skin around it.

Reach the nail surface

A problem nail is hard to reach. Light carrier oils, cedarwood and a touch of menthol help the blend spread across the nail plate and into the surrounding skin instead of beading on top.

Put botanicals to work

Tea tree and oregano oil sit at the heart of the blend. Both are long studied in the laboratory for antimicrobial properties and have a long folk history in "clean nail" routines.

Condition as it grows

Jojoba, sweet almond, rosehip and aloe soften dry, cracked nail skin while the nail slowly grows out — so the whole area looks cared for rather than neglected.

Daily routine

How to apply Nail Refresh

The routine is deliberately simple, because the only routine that works is one you actually keep up. Clean, apply, absorb — morning and night.

Nail Refresh is for external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes, don't apply to broken or bleeding skin, and patch-test on a small area before first use. If irritation occurs, stop using it.

Honest expectations

Why a nail routine takes patience

We'd rather be straight with you than over-promise.

FACT 01

Nails grow slowly

A fingernail can take three to six months to grow out fully; a big toenail can take nine to twelve. Visible change in the nail itself is always a slow process.

FACT 02

Skin reacts faster

The skin and cuticles around the nail often look and feel better sooner than the nail plate — conditioning oils show there first.

FACT 03

Consistency wins

The single biggest factor is simply applying it twice a day without skipping. That's why we built the routine to be as easy as possible.

Nail Refresh is a cosmetic topical oil intended to support the appearance of healthier-looking nails and skin. It is not a medicine and is not a treatment for nail fungus or any other condition. A persistent, spreading or painful nail problem should be seen by a GP or podiatrist.
