An alkaline-based surface conditioner designed for rapid exfoliation. While highly effective at softening dead protein bonds, its professional-grade nature requires strict adherence to timing to prevent dehydration of the nail area.
Active Ingredient Analysis
The formula utilizes Potassium Hydroxide as its primary agent to break down dead skin cells. To mitigate the drying effects of a high pH, the inclusion of Lanolin serves as a vital emollient, providing a temporary lipid barrier that protects the underlying nail surface during the process.
Application Insight
Exposure should not exceed 60 seconds. Neutralize immediately after use by washing thoroughly with soap and water to return the skin to its natural balance. Because alkaline agents strip natural lipids, rehydrating the area immediately after use with a nourishing oil is critical.
- Pros: Rapidly addresses stubborn overgrowth; Lanolin-enriched to minimize residue; extremely cost-effective.
- Cons: High alkalinity requires careful timing; thin viscosity makes precision application difficult without a dropper.
