The label reads Nail and Cuticle Serum, line name Restore. It is safflower, sunflower seed and grapeseed oils, infused with horsetail, rosemary, sage leaf and chamomile, finished with vitamin E and an essential oil blend that the maker describes as lavender and citrus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSinks in fast\u003c\/strong\u003e because safflower oil is thin and light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorks over polish\u003c\/strong\u003e on the skin around the nail, gel manicures included.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGlass dropper bottle\u003c\/strong\u003e that puts one drop exactly where you aim it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLavender and citrus\u003c\/strong\u003e from essential oils, bright rather than sweet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat Does Cuticle Oil Do\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCuticle oil keeps the skin around your nails soft and flexible, so it is less likely to split or snag. The skin at the nail fold has very few oil glands of its own and gets washed dry dozens of times a day. \u003cstrong\u003eA drop of oil replaces what hand washing strips away\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is why a little, often, beats a lot, once.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to Use Cuticle Oil\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePut one drop at the base of each nail, then massage it in with the pad of the opposite thumb for a few seconds. Work whatever is left across the top of the nail. Twice a day is plenty: once in the morning and once before bed, or after the last hand wash of the evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaguna Herbals describes the formula as vegan, and it carries no beeswax or lanolin, which is what keeps it liquid at any room temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Bottle Measured in Drops\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standard dropper delivers about 20 drops per milliliter, so this 1 fl oz bottle, about 30 ml, holds roughly 600 drops. \u003cstrong\u003eAt one drop per nail once a day, that is about two months of care\u003c\/strong\u003e, or a month if you go twice daily. Nothing about that schedule needs bare nails: it works as well over a fresh manicure as on a break between sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKeep the dropper off the nail itself when you are about to paint: oil on the nail plate stops new polish from bonding.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSafflower Oil for Nails and Cuticles\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs cuticle oil safe on a gel manicure?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. Apply it to the skin around a cured gel or a polished nail; it softens the cuticle without affecting the finish, and it keeps the edges neat between appointments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen do people reach for cuticle oil most?\u003c\/strong\u003e Search interest peaks in January, when dry indoor heat and cold air hit hands hardest.
