The Butters Hygienics Nail & Cuticle Serum Review - Press sample

Hi all! I hope you are all well and staying healthy (and home if possible). We are ten days into our stay at home order, which feels like a whole year at this point. I've been spending a lot more time on my hobbies, and cleaning house which put me in the position where I really needed to step up my skincare/hand care game in order to keep swatching polish. Lucky for me, The Butters Hygienics reached out and asked if I'd like to try out their nail serum!


The Butters Hygienics Botanical Nail & Cuticle Serum's big claims are that it's quick absorbing, cuticle softening, and nail strengthening. Since you all know I like to put things to the test, that's exactly what I did! But before we dive more into that, let's check out that ingredients list: Sesame oil, grapeseed oil, isopropyl myristate, apricot kernel oil, castor oil, carrot seed oil, avocado oil, vitamin e tocopherol, lemon EO, grapefruit EO, lavender EO, natural flavor. As you can see, there are a lot of great oils known to be good for moisturizing skin, and a couple that are packed with vitamin E.


The Nail & Cuticle Serum comes in this huge .6oz roller ball style tube. I know that doesn't sound like a lot, but in general cuticle oil tends to come in .5oz bottles or less. For $10 this is an excellent price point for anyone wanting to step up their cuticle care. I've always been a fan of roller ball applications for these types of products, but I've never encountered a metal one before. I quite enjoyed this one because it dispenses just enough product without overwhelming the area.
