Ingredients Overview
Ingredients Explained
This ingredient is the fixed oil extracted from seeds of the desert shrub Jojoba. It is more commonly known as jojoba oil. The seed oil is liquid wax ester from the plant. It is non-comedogenic.
Jojoba oil does not contain fragrance and has many fatty-acids, making it a great soothing ingredient. Jojoba contains Vitamin E, a great moisturizing ingredient. Vitamin E is also an antioxidant. Antioxidants help protect your skin against free-radical damage. This may help in anti-aging.
Jojoba seed oil is a humectant, meaning it helps draw moisture from the air. This helps keep your skin hydrated.
While jojoba has antibacterial properties, it is only able to kill some bacteria. It has also been shown to help in wound healing. Indigenous cultures have used jojoba as a moisturizer and to help treat burns.
It is found to be similar to natural human skin sebum, so it has a great effect on dry skin. Jojoba oil may even help with regulating sebum production.
Although jojoba oil is non-comedogenic, we recommend speaking with a professional about using this ingredient if you have any concerns.
Jojoba oil may not be fungal acne safe. We recommend speaking with a professional if you have any concerns.
Jojoba is native to the southwestern US.

One study found using Tocopheryl Acetate with Vitamin C decreased the number of sunburned cells.
Tocopheryl Acetate is commonly found in both skincare and dietary supplements.

Because squalane boosts hydration in the skin, it also comes with plenty of benefits: it is an antioxidant and can help fight free radicals and skin damage. Squalane is also found to have a detoxifying effect when applied.
Squalane comes from squalene, which occurs naturally within the sebum of our skin. It is one of the oils our skin produces to keep itself hydrated. Squalane is the hydrogenated version of squalene and has a longer shelf life.
Research shows that squalane is non-irritating (even at 100% concentration).
In general, it's a fantastic ingredient. It does a great job at hydrating the skin, and it's suitable for those with sensitive skin.
The source of squalane may impact malassezia / fungal acne. This is because olive oil derived squalane can contain impurities such as fatty acids and plant waxes. Sugarcane derived squalane is recommended for anyone with malassezia concerns.
Is squalane vegan? This depends on the source. Squalane can be derived from both plants and animals. Most squalane used in skincare comes from plants.
Please note: the source of squalane is only known if disclosed by the brand. We recommend reaching out to the brand if you have any questions about their squalane.

1. Set it up: Remove the black leak-protector cap from the end of the nail oil cartridge. Insert the narrow side of the cartridge into the pen. Line up the small plastic tabs near the end of the cartridge with the divots on the inside of the pen. Push the cartridge in fully and rotate in the direction of the “on” label until it snaps into place. Uncap the pen to use.
2. Priming a new cartridge for the first time: Firmly and repeatedly push down on the end of the cartridge pump to release nail oil into the brush tip applicator. Several pumps may be needed at first to start the flow.
3. Regular use: Pump the cartridge once or twice for nail oil to flow. Once primed, this pen is very effective at getting oil out with minimal pumps, so don’t pump too hard! One drop of oil is often enough for five nails.
4. Soak it in: Brush oil over the cuticle area and nails, and massage with your fingers. Oil is absorbed best when applied to naked nails but can also be used while wearing nail polish. If wearing polish, brush oil around the edges of your polish (the oil will seep in the sides). Don’t forget to oil the underside of your nail tips too. Watch dry cuticles and nails hydrate instantly!
5. Recommended dose: For best results we recommend consistently applying nail oil 2-3 times daily. Nails and dry cuticles will be hydrated instantly, and long term improvements can be expected as early as after 2 to 4 weeks of consistent use.
6. Refill: When your nails have soaked up your first oil cartridge, simply remove and replace the empty cartridge with a fresh refill cartridge.
