If you’ve tried every other nail strengthener and nothing works, here’s why:

the problem explained

Your nails aren’t damaged, they’re dried out.

Your nails are built from keratin layers stacked like a brick wall, held together by

three lipids (fatty acids, ceramides, and sterols) that act like cement.

Acetone, harsh gel removal, age-related changes, or hormonal shifts strip those 3 lipids away.

When the lipids are stripped away the keratin layers pull apart and nails turn brittle, peel and snap.

HERE’S WHY NOTHING ELSE FIXES THE PROBLEM

Strengtheners

Coat the nail in hardening agents

The surface stiffens and feels harder

Three weeks later, the hardness is gone — and your nails are weaker than they started

So you apply again. A cycle that compounds the damage.

Cuticle oil

Built around fatty acids (mostly only 1 or 2)

Conditions and softens the surface

But your nail needs three lipids — not one

Short on ceramides and sterols — the two

that are still missing.

Keratin treatments

Add more keratin to

the nail

But the keratin in your nails is dead

You can’t repair dead

tissue

The lipids around it are still depleted.

Keratin treatments

Form chemical bridges inside the keratin

The nail feels firmer and more cross-linked

But the problem isn’t broken keratin bonds — it’s missing lipids

A different kind of stiffness, the lipid problem stays where it is.

inside the bottle

A team of three lipids, working together.

FATTY ACIDS

LIPID 01

Eight cold-pressed plant oils, each contributing a different fatty acid the nail uses to rebuild.

Apricot kernel oil

Softens the surface of the nail so deeper ingredients can pass through.

Sweet almond oil

Oleic and linoleic acid in the exact proportions your nail naturally produces.

Jojoba oil

Mirrors the nail’s natural lipids and slips between the keratin layers to fill the gaps.

Sunflower seed oil

High in linoleic acid — an essential fatty acid your nail can’t make itself.

Coconut oil

Smaller fatty acids that find their own pathway in, adding structural firmness.

Olive oil

Contains squalene, a lipid your skin and nails naturally produce.

Castor seed oil

Ricinoleic acid, which pulls moisture toward the nail rather than just sealing it on.

Corn germ oil

Additional linoleic acid plus naturally occurring vitamin E.

Ceramide

LIPID 02

The actual lipid structure your nail’s matrix is built from.

Ceramide AP

Slots directly into the spaces where your nail’s missing ceramides used to sit between keratin layers.

Sterols

LIPID 03

Phytosterols from shea, contributing the third lipid type your nail needs.

Shea butter glycerides

Forms a protective layer around the nail and contributes phytosterols — the third lipid your nail’s matrix is built from.

Fatty acids. A ceramide. A sterol.

Every lipid your nail is built from.
