Why use cuticle balm?

Regular use of cuticle balm helps keep them in good condition, preventing cracking and drying. The natural ingredients in the balm also nourish and moisturize the skin.

Ingredients needed to prepare the balm
Making your own cuticle balm is easier than it might seem. Here is a list of basic ingredients you will need:
1. Coconut oil – known for its moisturizing and regenerating properties.
2. Shea butter – perfectly moisturizes and smooths the skin.
3. Beeswax – creates a protective layer, preventing moisture loss.
4. Essential oil (e.g., lavender or lemon) – gives a pleasant scent and has antibacterial properties.
5. Vitamin E – a natural antioxidant that supports skin regeneration.
