A nourishing nail cream that brings dry, damaged nails back to health
Mavala Nailactan Nutritive Nail Cream is a nourishing treatment cream for dry, damaged and brittle nails. Sun, cold weather, detergents and frequent hand-washing dry out the visible part of the nail, which then splits and loses its flexibility. Its restorative formula brings essential amino acids, lipids and vitamins (A, C, E and B6 derivatives) together with collagen and soy protein, to moisturise the nail layers and restore suppleness and resistance. Used every night over several weeks, nails grow healthier, more flexible and less prone to breaking.
The texture
A rich but fast-absorbing cream in a small tube. A tiny amount is massaged into each nail and cuticle and sinks in without leaving hands greasy. It has a light fragrance.
Who it suits
- Dry, brittle or peeling nails
- Nails damaged by detergents, water or cold
- Nails recovering after gel or acrylic manicures
- Rough cuticles around the nail
Worth knowing before you buy: Nail care takes time: expect to use it nightly for at least 4 to 6 weeks, and until the nail has fully grown out (several months) for complete renewal. It softens and nourishes but is not a hardener for soft, bendy nails.
How long a tube lasts
Used every night on ten nails, the 15ml tube lasts around two to three months.
