Cold pressed jojoba oil is a lovely, lightweight way to care for fragile, dry or splitting nails and the delicate skin around them.

Jojoba is unusual because it isn’t technically an oil. It’s a liquid wax, and its structure is very similar to sebum, the natural oil our own skin produces. That’s why it feels so light and silky, absorbs readily and doesn’t leave greasy fingers behind. Used regularly, it helps keep nails and cuticles hydrated and supple, so nails are less likely to become dry, brittle and prone to splitting or tearing.

Jojoba won’t make your nails grow, but keeping nails and cuticles well moisturised helps support their healthy appearance.

100% cold pressed.

100ml.

Why it suits nails
Similar to your skin’s own oils: Its sebum-like structure means it’s well tolerated and sits comfortably on the skin and around the nail.
Light and non-greasy: It absorbs readily, so you can use it through the day without leaving marks on your phone, clothes or work surfaces.
Gentle and mild: Suits dry or sensitive skin around the nails, with only a very mild nutty scent.
Stable and long-lasting: Jojoba keeps well and doesn’t go rancid easily, so a bottle lasts.
Cold pressed: Made without heat or chemical solvents.
Nails and cuticles can become dry, brittle or tender during cancer treatment, and may be more prone to splitting, peeling or tearing.
Daily cuticle oil: Massage a drop into each cuticle and nail once or twice a day.
Dry, split nails: Regular massage keeps nails and the surrounding skin hydrated and flexible.
Overnight treatment: Massage into hands and nails before bed, then slip on Cotton Moisturising Gloves to lock in moisture.
Toenails too: Massage into toenails and cuticles, then put on Cotton Moisturising Socks.
After water and products: Reapply after handwashing, washing up or using hand sanitiser, when nails dry out most.

Clean your hands: Wash your hands, focusing on the nail beds and fingertips. Soaking in warm (not hot) water can help soften the cuticles.
Apply the oil: Put a small amount on a cotton pad and gently rub it into each cuticle and nail.
Massage it in: Take a little time over each nail so the oil is fully absorbed and doesn’t leave greasy residue.
Wipe away any excess: If any oil is left on the skin, wipe it away with a tissue.

Please note:
For external use only. Always patch test first by applying a small amount to your inner forearm and waiting 24 hours. If you’re having radiotherapy, please check with your care team before applying oils to the treatment area. If you have any concerns, please speak to your medical care team.
