Hard as Hoof is an emollient-based treatment that prioritizes moisture-driven flexibility over chemical hardening. Utilizing a high-density wax and oil matrix, it effectively conditions the nail to prevent the brittleness often associated with traditional solvent-based hardeners. It is particularly effective for soothing and conditioning the nail tips.
Active Component Analysis
The formula relies on Calcium Pantothenate and Hydrolyzed Protein to support structural integrity. This cream penetrates the nail plate and surrounding periungual skin using a base of Petrolatum, Beeswax, and Lanolin. This occlusive effect maintains the surface by preventing transepidermal water loss.
Standard Performance
- Versatility: Functions as both a nail conditioner and an intensive cuticle balm.
- Safety: Formaldehyde-free formulation avoids the risk of over-hardening.
- Texture: A high-viscosity wax matrix that requires 5-10 minutes to fully set.
