Rice Bran Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Jojoba Oil, and Peppermint Oil are just a few of the essential oils used to create this anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-viral oil-gel for nails and cuticles. Through its extensive use of these essential oils, Solid Gold helps to provide several different treatments to the cuticle - oxidization, pH balancing, relieves burning, and is anti-inflammatory. The peppermint oil stimulates circulation and soothes pain from irritation. The gel melts into the skin and smells absolutely wonderful. Apply a pea-sized amount to each cuticle and massage in. Apply daily to keep cuticles soft, supple, and healthy.
