Cuticle oil is a moisturizing product for your nails and cuticles that can help restore them to health if they become chapped, cracked, and dry due to exposure to excessive cold, sun, chlorine, or salty or soapy water. Applying cuticle oil can increase the circulation around your nails, stimulating nail growth, and protect your nail and cuticle against trauma.
