How to Blend Your Own Cuticle Oil

Mix carrier oils with essential oils in a 10:1 ratio for a custom cuticle treatment that actually works.

1. Choose your carrier oil base. Jojoba oil absorbs fastest and mimics natural skin oils. Sweet almond oil works for sensitive skin. Fractionated coconut oil stays liquid and travels well.
2. Add therapeutic oils. Vitamin E oil prevents the blend from going rancid and strengthens nails. Add 2-3 drops per tablespoon of carrier oil. Skip if you have nut allergies.
3. Mix in essential oils. Lavender soothes damaged cuticles. Tea tree prevents infection around hangnails. Use 3-5 drops total per tablespoon of base oil.
4. Blend and store properly. Combine in a dark glass dropper bottle. Shake before each use. Store away from heat and light for up to 6 months.
