Product Description

Gel manicures, frequent hand washing, and dry air all take a toll, and your cuticles are usually the first to show it. Our Cuticle & Nail Serum is a natural cuticle oil that keeps them soft, smooth, and comfortable, whatever your hands go through.

Think of it as a cuticle oil for nails and the skin around them, made from plant oils and Vitamin E with no water added. Jojoba Oil is close to skin's own oils, so it massages in easily, while Kukui Nut, Avocado, and Castor Seed Oils soften dry, ragged cuticles. Sesame Seed Oil helps brittle-looking nails look stronger, antioxidant-rich Sea Buckthorn Oil comforts cracked-looking cuticles, and Carrot Seed Oil adds a natural-looking shine.

Chamomile and Manuka Oils give it an herbal scent that fades as you massage it in. One drop per nail is plenty, and a light hand keeps the finish soft rather than slick. Whether you wear gel, keep nails bare, or are caring for ridged nails and thinner-looking skin, this cuticle serum slips easily into your morning and bedtime routine.

Benefits

Water-Free Nail Oil: A concentrated nail oil made with no water, so every drop is plant oils and Vitamin E.
No Mineral Oil or Petrolatum: Made without mineral oil, petrolatum, or silicones, so the formula stays plant-based from the first drop to the last.
Alcohol-Free Formula: No alcohol of any kind, so dry cuticles feel comfortable rather than tight or stripped.
No Parabens, Sulfates, or Synthetic Fragrance: Its herbal scent comes only from plant oils, with no parabens, sulfates, or added synthetic fragrance.
Vegan and Cruelty-Free: Never tested on animals and made without animal-derived ingredients, for nail care you can feel good about.
Made for Daily Use: Made for every skin type and simple enough to use morning and night, around bare or polished nails.
Crafted in the USA: Made with care in the USA by a family-owned brand, following quality standards you can trust.
Full Ingredient Transparency: Every ingredient is listed in full below, so you always know what goes on your hands.

How to Use

Start with clean hands. Right after washing or a shower, when cuticles are softest, works best.
Apply 1 drop onto each cuticle.
Massage it into the nail and cuticle until absorbed.
Repeat morning and night, or as often as your nails need.

Tips

Gently push cuticles back with an orange stick after applying.
Follow with our Hand Lotion for soft hands from fingertips to wrists.
Wearing gel or polish? Apply your cuticle oil the night before a manicure, or wipe nails clean first so polish sticks well.
Contains Kukui Nut and Sesame Seed Oils. If you have a nut or sesame allergy, check with your doctor before use.

FAQs

What does cuticle oil actually do?

Cuticle oil moisturizes your cuticles and the skin around your nails, so they stay soft and smooth instead of dry, ragged or cracked-looking. Massaged into the nail itself, it also helps dry, brittle-looking nails look stronger and gives them a natural-looking shine. The Cuticle & Nail Serum does this with a water-free blend of plant oils, including Jojoba, Kukui Nut, Avocado, Castor Seed and Sea Buckthorn Oils, plus Vitamin E.

How often should you use cuticle oil?

Every day, and ideally twice a day. Use the Cuticle & Nail Serum morning and night, or as often as your nails need. Add an extra application after frequent hand washing, sanitizer or time in cold, dry air, when cuticles dry out fastest. One drop per nail each time is plenty.

Do you rub in cuticle oil or let it sit?

Rub it in. Apply 1 drop of the Cuticle & Nail Serum onto each cuticle, then massage it into the nail and cuticle until absorbed. Massaging works the oil over the whole nail and the skin around it instead of leaving it on top. It works best right after washing your hands or a shower, when cuticles are soft. Afterward, gently push the cuticles back with an orange stick and finish with our Hand Lotion.

Do you apply cuticle oil before or after polish?

After, or well before. Oil on the nail can keep polish and gel from sticking, so apply the Cuticle & Nail Serum the night before a manicure, or wipe your nails clean before polish goes on. Once your polish or gel is dry, massage a drop into each cuticle every day to keep them soft and your manicure looking fresh.

What is the difference between cuticle oil and cuticle serum?

The two names are often used for the same thing. A cuticle oil is made of oils, while a product sold as a cuticle serum can be oil-based or water-based. Our Cuticle & Nail Serum is a cuticle oil in serum form: a concentrated, water-free blend of plant oils in a dropper bottle, so a single drop per nail is enough. With no water in the formula, nothing dilutes the oils.

What oil should you put on your cuticles?

Look for a blend of plant oils you can massage in easily. The Cuticle & Nail Serum combines Jojoba Oil, which is close to skin's own oils, with Kukui Nut, Avocado and Castor Seed Oils for rich moisture, antioxidant-rich Sea Buckthorn Oil, and Carrot Seed Oil for a natural-looking shine. It contains no mineral oil, petrolatum, silicones, water or alcohol.

What is the best cuticle oil for dry nails?

For dry nails and cuticles, look for a cuticle oil you will actually use every day: plant oils that massage in easily and keep the nail and the skin around it moisturized. The Cuticle & Nail Serum is made for dry, rough and cracked-looking cuticles. Kukui Nut, Avocado and Castor Seed Oils soften them, Sea Buckthorn Oil and Vitamin E help them look smoother, and Chamomile Oil adds a comforting touch. Use it at least once a day, and more often in cold weather or after frequent hand washing.

Is petroleum jelly better than cuticle oil?

They do different jobs. Petroleum jelly is a thick ointment that sits on top of the skin. Cuticle oil is lighter: you massage it into the nail and cuticle, where it softens dry cuticles and adds a natural-looking shine. The Cuticle & Nail Serum is a plant-based cuticle oil made without petrolatum or mineral oil, so it suits anyone looking for a petroleum-free option.

Is the Cuticle & Nail Serum good for brittle nails?

Yes. Brittle nails are often dry nails, and the Cuticle & Nail Serum helps by keeping them moisturized. Sesame Seed, Castor Seed and Jojoba Oils help nails look less brittle and more resilient, and Carrot Seed Oil adds a natural shine. Massage it into the whole nail, not just the cuticle, every day and night. Wearing gloves for cleaning and dishes is a good habit, too.

Does cuticle oil help nails grow?

Cuticle oil cannot change how fast your nails grow, but it helps them grow out looking healthier. The Cuticle & Nail Serum keeps nails and cuticles moisturized, so nails are less likely to look dry, brittle or split, and the cuticles stay soft instead of cracked or ragged. Used daily, it helps your nails look stronger and shinier as they grow. If your nails change suddenly in color or shape, talk with a doctor.

Does the Cuticle & Nail Serum contain nut or sesame oils?

Yes. The Cuticle & Nail Serum contains Kukui Nut Oil and Sesame Seed Oil. If you have a nut or sesame allergy, check with your doctor before using it, and read the full ingredient list on this page. The other ingredients are Sea Buckthorn, Jojoba Seed, Castor Seed and Avocado Oils, Chamomile Flower, Manuka and Carrot Seed Oils and Vitamin E.

How long does a bottle of the Cuticle & Nail Serum last?

A bottle of the Cuticle & Nail Serum lasts a long time, because you only need 1 drop per nail. The formula is concentrated and water-free, so nothing dilutes it. Even with daily and nightly use, a small amount covers all ten nails. Keep the cap closed and store it away from heat and direct sun to keep the oils fresh.

Is the Cuticle & Nail Serum natural and vegan?

Yes. The Cuticle & Nail Serum is a blend of natural plant oils, and it is 100% vegan and cruelty-free, never tested on animals. It contains no mineral oil, petrolatum, silicone, water or alcohol, and every ingredient is listed on this page. It is made in the USA by Just Nutritive, a family-owned company making natural hair and skin care since 2007.

Nourished nails

I like the serum and it seems to be helping with my dry Colorado nails. Don’t like the bottle and dropper as much. The dropper releases more than needed each time and can be kind of messy. I think the bottle would be better round instead of rectangular. I tipped it over when putting the dropper back in and lost some of the serum.

Works great

This really helped me. I have very short nails and I work with cardboard and it’s so drying. My hands looked like I was 100! This product is very moisturizing and I use it a couple of times a day. Fabulous transformation.

Miracle In A Bottle

This stuff is amazing! If you want pretty hands and feet, you need to use this everyday. I’ve been using it for years and my cuticles and nails have never looked so good. Highly recommend it to everyone.

Not what we expected!

My husband has rough pitted fingernails due to his alopecia condition. We thought the cuticle and nail serum sounded like it would help, but it runs off the nail bed and makes oil spots on our sheets when applied. If you will give us the address we will mail it back for a refund. Thank you very much.

Damage Done

I used the Serum once a day for three days after receiving it. My nails were severely damaged and looked like the before photos rather than the after. I cannot recommend this product.

Cuticle Serum

Just started using it,but have already noticed an improvement. Will continue and update!!!

Amazing Nail Serum

I bought this to heal treat my nails after my finger nails started separating from my nail bed. Within 2 months my nails were stronger and had reconnected and fast forward to today after using this for close to year my nails are thriving.
Get this serum today!!!

I don't like the smell and its very thick

Natural nails are stronger

Natural we’re so soft and split after years of gel nails. In a few days my hails are harder and stronger. Can’t wait to see what 30’days will bring
Thank you Just Nutritive for a product that does what it claims!

Cuticle & Nail Serum works

This serum almost instantly made my toe nails look smooth and clear. This had been a problem for a long time and I have tried many other products.

It works!

I bought this Cuticle and Nail Serum as my nails and especially cuticles have been so dry and ridiculous. I've used it for the past 2 weeks and my cuticles and nails haven't been this strong or soft since I was a teen (years ago) :) Thank you Just Nutritive, I love this product!

Cuticle & Nail Serum

This serum is amazing !! This was a big trial for me, not sure it would do anything much less work. Well , IT WORKS. I noticed an improvement after about three days applying only at night. My cuticles have gone from being painfully dry to not and my nails feel thicker somehow. I absolutely highly recommend this serum. A little goes a long way , and with the great results I feel like it is very much worth the money.

Cuticle and Nail Serum

I won't be without this Cuticle and Nail Serum. This applied 2 times a day soothed my dry peeling skin on the sides of my nails. My skin is now soft and not hard and cracking.

Best Cuticle Treatment Ever

This is an excellent product. It's the first cuticle treatment that has really worked for me, and I've tried many before. It moisturizes even the driest skin around the nails, It does have an herbal aroma, but that dissipates quickly, so not a problem. Will continue using.

I'll never be without this stuff!

Between the dry air of an aircraft cabin, and constant hand washing and sanitizer, my cuticles take a beating on the job. This has made a huge difference. The formula absorbs quite quickly, so there's no lasting greasy feeling. I like the dropper applicator which lets me apply it without painting it on each nail like most oils. There is a sort of herbal fragrance to the serum, which fades quickly as it's absorbed so it doesn't hang around. Great product and reasonably priced!

Cuticle and nail serum

My hands are in water all day and my skin cracks and bleeds. Since I have been using this every night I am seeing a big difference. The cracks are there but are softening and not bleeding. I have several hair products and I love everything. Thank you!

This serum is amazing. I swim daily and use it on wet skin. It helps to keep an even skin tone and also nourishes skin.

Soothing

cuticle and nail serum

My cuticles are very dry all year. I’ve tried many products and especially like this one. Absorbs quickly, smooths my ragged cuticles and leaves a subtle scent that’s appreciated throughout the day. Only need a little.

Very nice

I still have to use this more for a better review, but so far so good; it's very moisturizing. I much prefer the all natural ingredients, so great job here.

a wonderful and effective product

LOVE this nutritive nail and cuticle serum! My cuticles were very damaged, and I had loose skin, that hurt and was red and sore. It virtually restored my nails almost immediately, and my nails are starting to get stronger, as well.

has my recommendation

I've used everything for my nails, I've got tons of oils and most are very messy and greasy. I've noticed an amazing difference in my skin around my nails. It's amazing, I'd recommend it to anyone who has dry or cracked cuticles!

Conditioned My Nails

I use this oil on my nails and cuticle every day. My nails have been severely damaged by gels and acrylic nails. I see that my cuticle are softer and my nails are getting stronger. I am planning to keep using this product until my nails grow a bit longer.

Superb

Love this cuticle oil. I work a lot with my hands and my nails and cuticle have become dry and brittle. I apply the oil in the morning before work and at night before I sleep. My nails have become so much stronger and are growing. I groom my nails weekly and I do not wear polish. I like them pretty simple and natural.

Great for the Family

I use this cuticle oil on my whole family. I like to do everyone's nails. I have my husband who is a contractor and has dry rough hands and I try to make his hands as presentable as possible. This oil instantly softens his cuticles and make it much easier for me to care for his hands. My two daughters have used this product as well and claim that their nails are growing!
