Collection: Hands & Nails

A specialist collection of certified organic and natural hand care, nail care, cuticle treatments, botanical oils and butters, and natural nail colour — covering every step of a complete hand and nail routine without synthetic chemicals. From nourishing certified organic hand creams to a natural nail polish remover, natural nail polish, and a cuticle oil range built from certified organic vegetable oils.

Certified organic hand creams — four formulations — four certified organic hand creams for different skin needs and textures. The organic Hyaluronic Acid hand cream for intensive hydration and plumping. The organic Shea Butter & Honey hand cream for rich, nourishing repair of dry and damaged hands. The organic Aloe Vera Light hand cream for a lightweight, fast-absorbing daily texture. The organic Hands & Nails cream — a dual-action formulation that nourishes both skin and nails simultaneously. All four are certified organic, free from synthetic preservatives, mineral oils, and synthetic fragrance.

Natural nail polish and nail coat — colour without compromise — the Natural Nail Polish and Natural Nail Coat 3-in-1 offer nail colour and nail protection in natural formulations — free from the most problematic conventional nail polish ingredients: formaldehyde, toluene, dibutyl phthalate (DBP), camphor, and formaldehyde resin. The 3-in-1 nail coat functions as a base coat, top coat, and strengthener in a single product. For those who want nail colour without the synthetic chemical profile of conventional nail varnish.

Natural nail polish remover — the Natural Nail Polish Remover is a clean alternative to conventional acetone or ethyl acetate-based nail polish removers. Formulated without acetone, without synthetic solvents, and without synthetic fragrance — gentle on the nail plate and surrounding skin. A natural nail polish remover that removes natural nail polish effectively without the harsh drying effect of conventional removers on nails and cuticles.

Cuticle and nail care oils — a complete certified organic range — the most comprehensive category in the collection. Certified organic Castor Oil — the classic cuticle and nail strengthening oil, rich in ricinoleic acid, available in both a standard vegetable oil format and a dedicated organic Care Oil format for targeted nail application. Certified organic Argan Oil for nourishment and shine. Certified organic Sweet Almond Oil as a gentle, versatile daily cuticle oil. Certified organic Avocado Oil for rich, penetrating nourishment of dry cuticles. Certified organic Borage Oil and Evening Primrose Oil — both rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) — for repair of brittle, damaged nails and dry cuticles. Certified organic Macadamia Oil for its skin-identical fatty acid profile. Certified organic Sesame Oil, Hemp Oil, Camelina Oil, and Black Cumin Seed Oil complete the range.

Certified organic oil macerates — botanical skin repair — three certified organic oil macerates with specific skin repair and brightening properties. Rose macerate (Rosa canina) for skin nourishment and radiance on the back of the hands. Daisy Flowers macerate (Bellis perennis) — traditionally used for its skin-brightening and illuminating properties, particularly for age spots and uneven skin tone on hands. Calendula macerate (Calendula officinalis) for soothing, anti-inflammatory skin repair — one of the most effective botanical ingredients for dry, irritated, or reactive hand skin.

Certified organic balms and butters — intensive repair — three certified organic balms for targeted hand and skin repair: the organic Repairing Balm with Lavender for soothing and healing cracked or damaged skin; the organic Radiance Balm with Rose for nourishment and radiance; the organic Toning Balm with Lemon Verbena for a fresh, uplifting hand treatment. The organic Api’Propolis Regenerating Cream provides intensive repair for very dry, damaged, or work-stressed hands — propolis is one of the most effective natural antimicrobial and skin-regenerating ingredients. Certified organic Shea Butter and Mango Butter are available as pure butters for DIY hand and cuticle care formulations.

Yellow nail treatment and nail health — the Organic Treatment Yellow Nails Aroma’Net addresses nail discolouration and nail health with a certified organic essential oil-based formulation. Certified organic Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) and Spike Lavender essential oils — both present in the collection in multiple sizes — are among the most widely used essential oils in aromatherapy practice for nail and cuticle health, due to their documented antimicrobial and antifungal properties. The Set of 3 Emery Nail Files completes the nail care toolkit.

Certified organic hand cleansing and the neutral cream — two certified organic cleansing gels for hand washing: the organic Pure Olive & Argan & Orange Blossom cleansing gel for nourishing, fragrant hand cleansing; and the organic Pure Olive cleansing gel for a simpler, fragrance-free option. The organic Neutral Cream (Neutralcreme) is a certified organic, fragrance-free, preservative-free base cream — suitable as a daily hand moisturiser for sensitive skin, as a DIY formulation base, or as a neutral carrier for essential oils and active ingredients. One of the most versatile and underrated products in the range.

This collection is for anyone who wants a complete certified organic and natural hand and nail care routine — from daily moisturising and cuticle care to nail colour and nail treatment — without synthetic chemicals, mineral oils, or the harsh ingredients found in conventional nail care products.

Those with dry, damaged, or work-stressed hands — people whose hands are exposed to frequent washing, cleaning products, cold weather, or physical work — and who need genuinely nourishing certified organic hand care rather than a superficially moisturising conventional cream. The organic Shea Butter & Honey hand cream, the organic Api’Propolis Regenerating Cream, the organic Repairing Balm with Lavender, and the certified organic Castor Oil and Calendula macerate provide intensive repair for hands that need more than a standard daily moisturiser.

Those looking for clean nail colour — people who want nail polish and nail coat without formaldehyde, toluene, dibutyl phthalate (DBP), camphor, or formaldehyde resin — the five most commonly cited problematic ingredients in conventional nail varnish. The Natural Nail Polish and Natural Nail Coat 3-in-1 offer colour and nail protection in natural formulations. The Natural Nail Polish Remover completes the routine without acetone or synthetic solvents.

DIY formulators and natural beauty enthusiasts — those who blend their own hand creams, cuticle oils, and nail treatments from certified organic base ingredients. The collection offers exceptional raw material depth: ten certified organic vegetable oils (Castor, Argan, Sweet Almond, Avocado, Borage, Evening Primrose, Macadamia, Sesame, Hemp, Camelina), three certified organic oil macerates (Rose, Daisy Flowers, Calendula), two certified organic butters (Shea, Mango), and the organic Neutral Cream as a ready-to-use formulation base. Everything needed to build a bespoke certified organic hand and nail care routine from scratch.

Those with sensitive or reactive skin on the hands — people whose hands react to synthetic fragrances, preservatives, or petrochemical ingredients in conventional hand creams. The certified organic formulations in this collection — free from synthetic preservatives, mineral oils, and synthetic fragrance — are generally better tolerated by sensitive and reactive skin. The organic Neutral Cream (fragrance-free, preservative-free) and the organic Aloe Vera Light hand cream are among the most suitable options for very sensitive hand skin. Always check individual product pages for specific skin type guidance.

Those dealing with nail discolouration or nail health concerns — people looking for a certified organic botanical approach to nail discolouration, brittle nails, or cuticle health. The Organic Treatment Yellow Nails Aroma’Net addresses nail discolouration with a certified organic essential oil formulation. Certified organic Tea Tree and Spike Lavender essential oils — available in multiple sizes — are among the most widely used in aromatherapy practice for nail and cuticle health. Certified organic Borage Oil and Evening Primrose Oil, both rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), are specifically relevant for brittle nail repair.

Those who want a complete hand and nail routine in one place — people who want to source their entire hand and nail care routine — cleansing, treatment, moisturising, cuticle care, nail colour, and nail polish remover — from a single certified organic and natural source, held to a consistent clean formulation standard. No need to compromise at any step of the routine.

Hand repair, cuticle nourishment, nail strengthening, and skin brightening each require specific plant compounds and fatty acid profiles. Here are the certified organic star ingredients that define this collection — and what makes each one effective.

Hyaluronic Acid — certified organic — the primary active in the organic Hyaluronic Acid hand cream. Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occurring polysaccharide found in the skin’s connective tissue, with an exceptional capacity to attract and retain moisture — up to 1,000 times its own weight in water. Applied to hand skin, it provides intensive, lasting hydration without heaviness or greasiness — the ideal texture for a daily hand cream that absorbs quickly and does not interfere with daily tasks. Particularly effective for hands that feel tight, dehydrated, or show early signs of skin ageing.

Castor Oil — Ricinus communis — the classic nail and cuticle oil, and one of the most effective certified organic oils for nail strengthening and cuticle repair. Rich in ricinoleic acid — a hydroxyl fatty acid that gives Castor Oil its distinctive thick, penetrating texture and its documented humectant and antimicrobial properties. Applied regularly to the nail plate and cuticle, it nourishes, strengthens, and protects. Available in this collection in two formats: as a certified organic vegetable oil and as a dedicated organic Care Oil for targeted nail application.

Borage Oil — Borago officinalis — the highest plant-source concentration of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) available — up to 24% GLA. GLA is an omega-6 fatty acid with well-documented anti-inflammatory and skin barrier repair properties, particularly relevant for brittle, peeling, or damaged nails and dry, cracked cuticles. Certified organic, cold-pressed. One of the most targeted certified organic oils for nail fragility and cuticle repair.

Evening Primrose Oil — Oenothera biennis — a second certified organic source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), with a lighter texture than Borage Oil and a complementary fatty acid profile. Rich in linoleic acid and GLA, Evening Primrose Oil supports skin barrier function and is particularly effective for dry, reactive, or hormonally sensitive skin on the hands. Certified organic, cold-pressed. Often used alongside Borage Oil for a combined GLA approach to nail and cuticle repair.

Argan Oil — Argania spinosa — rich in oleic acid, linoleic acid, and tocopherols (vitamin E) — a deeply nourishing certified organic oil for both hand skin and nails. Its tocopherol content provides antioxidant protection against environmental damage. Its fatty acid profile penetrates the nail plate and surrounding skin without leaving a greasy residue. Certified organic, cold-pressed. Present in the collection both as a pure vegetable oil and as an active ingredient in the organic Pure Olive & Argan & Orange Blossom cleansing gel.

Shea Butter — Butyrospermum parkii — one of the most effective certified organic emollients for dry, damaged hand skin. Rich in oleic acid, stearic acid, and triterpene alcohols — the compounds responsible for its documented anti-inflammatory and skin barrier repair properties. Present in the collection as a pure certified organic butter and as the primary active in the organic Shea Butter & Honey hand cream. Particularly effective for hands exposed to frequent washing, cold weather, or cleaning products.

Calendula macerate — Calendula officinalis — certified organic Calendula flowers macerated in a certified organic vegetable oil base. Calendula is one of the most extensively documented botanicals for skin soothing, anti-inflammatory action, and skin barrier repair — particularly effective for dry, irritated, cracked, or reactive skin. The macerate format delivers these properties in a skin-compatible oil base, ideal for cuticle and hand skin application. Also present in the organic Calendula Baby Balm for the most sensitive skin types.

Daisy Flowers macerate — Bellis perennis — certified organic Daisy Flowers (Bellis perennis) macerated in a certified organic vegetable oil base. Bellis perennis extract is traditionally used in natural cosmetics for its skin-brightening and illuminating properties — particularly for age spots, uneven skin tone, and dull skin on the back of the hands. One of the most interesting and underutilised certified organic brightening ingredients in natural hand care.

Tea Tree — Melaleuca alternifolia — one of the most extensively studied essential oils for antimicrobial and antifungal properties, with terpinen-4-ol as its primary active compound. In the context of hand and nail care, certified organic Tea Tree is used in aromatherapy practice for nail health, cuticle hygiene, and as a key active in the Organic Treatment Yellow Nails Aroma’Net. Available in multiple sizes in this collection.

Spike Lavender — Lavandula spica — distinct from Fine Lavender in its higher camphor and 1,8-cineole content, Spike Lavender has stronger antimicrobial and skin-healing properties than its more aromatic relative. In hand and nail care, it is used for its documented wound-healing, antimicrobial, and skin-regenerating action — particularly for cracked skin, damaged cuticles, and nail health. Available in three sizes in this collection. A key active in the Organic Treatment Yellow Nails Aroma’Net.

Propolis — Api’Propolis — propolis is a resinous compound produced by bees from plant resins, with well-documented antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and skin-regenerating properties. The organic Api’Propolis Regenerating Cream uses propolis as its primary active for intensive repair of very dry, damaged, or work-stressed hands and body skin. One of the most effective natural ingredients for skin regeneration in conditions of significant dryness or damage. Note: this product contains an animal-derived ingredient and is not vegan.

Certified organic and natural hand and nail care delivers specific, measurable benefits through plant chemistry — not synthetic fillers, mineral oils, or petrochemical emollients. Here is what this collection delivers, ingredient by ingredient.

Intensive hand hydration — four textures, one standard — four certified organic hand creams address different hydration needs. The organic Hyaluronic Acid hand cream delivers intensive, lasting moisture through Hyaluronic Acid’s capacity to attract and retain water in the skin — fast-absorbing, non-greasy, ideal for daily use. The organic Shea Butter & Honey hand cream provides rich, occlusive nourishment for very dry or damaged hands. The organic Aloe Vera Light hand cream offers a lightweight, refreshing texture for warm weather or oily skin types. The organic Hands & Nails cream addresses both skin and nail hydration simultaneously. All four are certified organic, free from mineral oils and synthetic preservatives.

Cuticle repair and nourishment — the certified organic cuticle oil range addresses the specific needs of dry, cracked, or damaged cuticles through targeted fatty acid profiles. Castor Oil (ricinoleic acid) for deep penetration and humectant action. Borage Oil and Evening Primrose Oil (gamma-linolenic acid, GLA) for anti-inflammatory repair of severely dry or reactive cuticles. Argan Oil (tocopherols and oleic acid) for nourishment without residue. Calendula macerate for soothing and skin barrier repair. Sweet Almond Oil as a gentle, versatile daily cuticle oil. Applied regularly to the cuticle and nail base, these certified organic oils visibly improve cuticle condition and support healthy nail growth.

Nail strengthening and protection — certified organic Castor Oil is the most effective botanical nail strengthening oil, with its ricinoleic acid content providing both humectant and protective action on the nail plate. The Natural Nail Coat 3-in-1 provides a physical protective layer as base coat, top coat, and strengthener in a single natural formulation — without the plasticisers and synthetic resins found in conventional nail hardeners. Regular application of certified organic Castor Care Oil to the nail plate and cuticle is one of the most consistently recommended protocols in natural nail care for improving nail strength and reducing breakage.

Nail health — antimicrobial and antifungal support — the Organic Treatment Yellow Nails Aroma’Net addresses nail discolouration with a certified organic essential oil formulation. Certified organic Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia, rich in terpinen-4-ol) and Spike Lavender (Lavandula spica) are among the most widely used essential oils in aromatherapy practice for nail health, due to their documented broad-spectrum antimicrobial and antifungal properties. Both are available as pure certified organic essential oils in multiple sizes for those who prefer to formulate their own nail care protocols.

Intensive hand skin repair — for hands that need more than a standard daily moisturiser: the organic Api’Propolis Regenerating Cream provides intensive repair through propolis’s documented antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and skin-regenerating properties — particularly effective for work-stressed, cracked, or damaged hands. The three certified organic balms — Repairing Lavender, Radiance Rose, and Toning Lemon Verbena — provide targeted treatment in a concentrated balm format. Certified organic Shea Butter and Mango Butter are available as pure butters for intensive overnight hand treatment.

Hand skin brightening and radiance — the certified organic Daisy Flowers macerate (Bellis perennis) is traditionally used for its skin-brightening properties on the back of the hands — particularly for age spots and uneven skin tone. The certified organic Rose macerate (Rosa canina) adds radiance and nourishment. The organic Radiance Balm with Rose provides a concentrated brightening treatment in a ready-to-use format. A botanical approach to hand skin radiance without synthetic brightening agents or hydroquinone.

Clean nail colour — without the five problematic ingredients — the Natural Nail Polish and Natural Nail Coat 3-in-1 deliver nail colour and nail protection free from formaldehyde, toluene, dibutyl phthalate (DBP), camphor, and formaldehyde resin — the five most commonly cited problematic ingredients in conventional nail varnish. The Natural Nail Polish Remover completes the routine without acetone or synthetic solvents, avoiding the drying and damaging effect of conventional removers on the nail plate and cuticles.

Gentle hand cleansing that does not strip the skin — two certified organic cleansing gels formulated for hand washing without the stripping effect of conventional soap or antibacterial hand wash. The organic Pure Olive & Argan & Orange Blossom cleansing gel combines the emollient properties of olive and argan with the gentle fragrance of orange blossom. The organic Pure Olive cleansing gel provides a simpler, fragrance-free option for sensitive skin. Both are certified organic, free from synthetic surfactants and synthetic preservatives — cleansing that leaves hand skin soft rather than tight.

A complete certified organic hand and nail care routine, step by step. Here is how to use each product category in this collection for maximum benefit — from daily hand moisturising to cuticle treatment, nail colour, and intensive repair.

Daily hand cream — application and timing — apply certified organic hand cream to clean, dry hands and massage in until fully absorbed. For maximum efficacy, apply immediately after hand washing while the skin is still slightly damp — this locks in moisture before the skin surface dries. The organic Hyaluronic Acid hand cream and organic Aloe Vera Light hand cream absorb quickly and are suitable for use throughout the day without leaving residue. The organic Shea Butter & Honey hand cream is richer — best applied in the evening or when hands will not need to grip or handle objects immediately. The organic Hands & Nails cream can be applied to both the skin and massaged into the nail plate and cuticle simultaneously.

Cuticle oil routine — daily and weekly — for daily cuticle care, apply a small drop of certified organic Castor Care Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, or Argan Oil directly to each cuticle and massage gently into the nail base. This is most effective applied at night before sleep, when the oil can penetrate without being washed off. For a more intensive weekly treatment, apply certified organic Borage Oil or Evening Primrose Oil — both rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) — to the cuticles and nail plate, leave for 10–15 minutes, then gently massage in any remaining oil. Consistent daily application over 4–6 weeks produces the most visible improvement in cuticle condition and nail strength.

Nail treatment — Yellow Nails Aroma’Net and essential oils — apply the Organic Treatment Yellow Nails Aroma’Net according to the instructions on the product page — typically to clean, dry, unvarnished nails. For those using certified organic Tea Tree or Spike Lavender essential oils directly: dilute at 10–20% in certified organic Castor Oil and apply to the nail plate and surrounding skin with a cotton bud or small brush. Never apply undiluted essential oils directly to the nail plate or surrounding skin. Consistency of application is more important than concentration — daily application over several weeks is the standard protocol in aromatherapy practice for nail health.

Natural nail polish — application sequence — start with clean, dry, oil-free nails — remove any cuticle oil residue with the Natural Nail Polish Remover before applying colour. Apply the Natural Nail Coat 3-in-1 as a base coat first — one thin layer, allow to dry fully. Apply Natural Nail Polish in two thin layers, allowing each layer to dry between coats. Finish with a second layer of the Natural Nail Coat 3-in-1 as a top coat for added durability and shine. Thin layers dry faster and last longer than thick applications. Natural nail polish formulations may have a slightly different dry time and finish compared to conventional nail varnish — allow adequate drying time between coats.

Natural nail polish remover — how to use — apply the Natural Nail Polish Remover to a cotton pad and press firmly onto the nail for 5–10 seconds to allow the formula to dissolve the polish, then wipe away. For stubborn colour or glitter, repeat with a fresh cotton pad rather than rubbing aggressively — this protects the nail plate surface. After removing polish, apply certified organic Castor Care Oil or Argan Oil to the nail plate and cuticle to restore moisture — even a natural nail polish remover removes some surface oils from the nail during the removal process.

Balms and butters — intensive hand treatment — the three certified organic balms (Repairing Lavender, Radiance Rose, Toning Lemon Verbena) are concentrated treatments — apply a small amount to the back of the hands, cuticles, and nail area and massage in. They are best used as a targeted treatment rather than a general hand cream. For an intensive overnight hand treatment: apply certified organic Shea Butter or Mango Butter generously to the hands, put on cotton gloves, and leave overnight — one of the most effective protocols for severely dry or damaged hands. The organic Api’Propolis Regenerating Cream is applied to the most damaged or cracked areas of the hands as a targeted repair treatment.

Hand cleansing — preserving what you apply — use the certified organic cleansing gels (Pure Olive & Argan & Orange Blossom, or Pure Olive) for hand washing in place of conventional soap or antibacterial hand wash. Their certified organic formulation avoids the stripping effect of synthetic surfactants on hand skin. After washing, pat hands dry rather than rubbing — this preserves the skin’s surface moisture. Apply hand cream immediately after drying for maximum absorption while the skin is still slightly warm and open from washing.

The neutral cream — as a base and as a daily moisturiser — the organic Neutral Cream can be used in two ways. As a daily hand moisturiser: apply to clean hands as a fragrance-free, preservative-free certified organic base cream — ideal for very sensitive skin or those who react to fragranced hand creams. As a DIY formulation base: blend a few drops of certified organic essential oil (Tea Tree, Spike Lavender, or Lavender at 1–2%) or a certified organic vegetable oil into the Neutral Cream to create a personalised hand treatment. The neutral, unscented base does not interfere with added actives. Usage instructions and suggested dilutions are on the product page.

The vast majority of products in this collection are certified organic — independently verified, not self-declared. The nail colour range is natural. Here is the certification framework that applies across the collection, and what each standard actually means.

EU Organic Farming regulation — the agricultural foundation — the baseline certification governing the agricultural origin of every certified organic plant-derived ingredient in this collection. The Ricinus communis plantations producing Castor Oil. The Argania spinosa groves of Morocco producing Argan Oil. The Borago officinalis and Oenothera biennis cultivations producing Borage and Evening Primrose Oil. The Butyrospermum parkii trees producing Shea Butter. The Calendula officinalis and Bellis perennis fields producing the oil macerates. No synthetic pesticides, no chemical fertilisers, no GMOs — independently verified from field to cold-press or maceration. This is the agricultural standard that makes certified organic vegetable oils and butters meaningfully different from conventional ones.

Why organic certification matters for skin-applied oils and hand care — vegetable oils, butters, and macerates are applied directly to skin — to the hands, cuticles, and nail plate — often multiple times a day. Conventional vegetable oils may carry synthetic pesticide residues from the source plant material. Certified organic vegetable oils, produced from plants grown without synthetic pesticides under EU Organic Farming regulation, eliminate this residue risk. For products applied to skin as frequently as hand cream or cuticle oil, the organic certification of the base ingredients is a meaningful consideration, not a marketing detail.

CosméBio — the label — the primary certification label for the formulated products in this collection: the four certified organic hand creams, the three certified organic balms, the organic Api’Propolis Regenerating Cream, the organic Calendula Baby Balm, the organic cleansing gels, the organic Neutral Cream, and the organic Yellow Nails Aroma’Net treatment. CosméBio is a French professional association founded in 2002 to combat greenwashing in the cosmetics market. The CosméBio label means a finished product meets rigorous criteria for organic ingredient content, formulation conditions, ethical sourcing, and responsible packaging — verified against the COSMOS standard by an independent certifying body.

COSMOS — the standard — COSMOS (COSMetic Organic Standard) is the specifications document behind the CosméBio label. Created jointly by CosméBio, Ecocert, BDIH, ICEA, and Soil Association, it has been the reference standard since 2017. COSMOS is not a label — it is the rulebook that defines what certified organic cosmetics must contain and how they must be produced. It governs both the agricultural origin of ingredients and the formulation conditions of the finished product.

Ecocert & Bureau Veritas — the certifying bodies — independent accredited auditors who verify that products comply with the COSMOS standard. Their logos on a product confirm compliance — they are not organic labels in themselves. Once a product passes their audit, the certifying body issues a certificate granting the right to carry the CosméBio label.

Natural nail colour — not certified organic — the Natural Nail Polish, Natural Nail Coat 3-in-1, and Natural Nail Polish Remover are natural formulations — free from formaldehyde, toluene, dibutyl phthalate (DBP), camphor, formaldehyde resin, and acetone — but do not carry a certified organic label. Certified organic nail colour is not currently achievable within the COSMOS standard due to the technical constraints of nail polish formulation chemistry. We are transparent about this distinction: natural is not the same as certified organic, and we do not use the terms interchangeably. Certification status is clearly specified on each product page.

Free from synthetic chemicals — across the entire collection — certified organic or natural — no mineral oils, no synthetic preservatives, no parabens, no phthalates, no petrochemical emollients, no synthetic fragrance in the unfragranced products. The organic Neutral Cream is specifically formulated without fragrance and without preservatives — making it one of the cleanest certified organic base creams available for sensitive skin and DIY formulation. Clean formulation is the standard of entry for every product in this collection.

Vegan & cruelty-free — the vast majority of products in this collection contain no animal-derived ingredients and are not tested on animals. Where exceptions exist — the Api’Propolis Regenerating Cream contains propolis, an animal-derived ingredient — they are clearly indicated on the individual product page. We do not apply a blanket vegan claim to the entire collection.

Hand and nail care is one of the most overlooked categories in the clean beauty transition. Most people have replaced their face cream and body wash with certified organic alternatives — but continue to use conventional hand creams loaded with mineral oil and synthetic preservatives, nail polish removers based on acetone or synthetic solvents, and nail polishes that carry a “natural” label while still containing formaldehyde resin or camphor. Our philosophy for this collection is straightforward: the same clean formulation standard that applies to face care should apply to hand and nail care.

Hands are high-exposure skin — hands are washed more frequently than any other part of the body, exposed to more environmental aggressors, and in direct contact with everything we touch. They are also the skin surface most people neglect in their clean beauty routine. The certified organic hand creams, cuticle oils, and balms in this collection are formulated without mineral oils, without synthetic preservatives, and without petrochemical emollients — because what goes on your hands goes on your skin, repeatedly, every day.

Fatty acid profiles matter — not all oils are equal — the certified organic vegetable oil range in this collection is selected on the basis of specific fatty acid profiles and their documented skin and nail benefits. Borage Oil and Evening Primrose Oil for their gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) content and anti-inflammatory repair action on brittle nails and dry cuticles. Castor Oil for its ricinoleic acid content and humectant properties on the nail plate. Argan Oil for its tocopherol content and non-greasy penetration. We do not fill the range with generic carrier oils — every oil is here for a specific reason, and we name that reason.

Honest about the limits of natural nail colour — certified organic nail polish does not currently exist within the COSMOS standard — the chemistry of nail colour formulation is not compatible with current certified organic cosmetic standards. The Natural Nail Polish and Natural Nail Coat 3-in-1 in this collection are natural — free from formaldehyde, toluene, DBP, camphor, and formaldehyde resin — but not certified organic. We are transparent about this distinction. Natural is not the same as certified organic, and we do not use the terms interchangeably. The product pages specify certification status clearly.

The neutral cream — a philosophy in a product — the organic Neutral Cream is one of the most honest products in the collection. No fragrance. No preservatives. No active ingredients beyond the certified organic base. It is a blank canvas — a certified organic formulation base for those who want to add their own actives, or a daily hand moisturiser for those whose skin reacts to everything else. Its inclusion in this collection reflects a broader philosophy: we provide the raw materials and the finished products, and we trust the buyer to choose what their skin needs.

Depth of range — for those who know what they want — ten certified organic vegetable oils, three certified organic oil macerates, two certified organic butters, four certified organic hand creams, three certified organic balms, two certified organic essential oils for nail health, and a complete natural nail colour range. This is not a curated capsule of three products — it is a specialist range built for buyers who understand ingredients, who read labels, and who want the depth to build a complete certified organic hand and nail care routine on their own terms.

Transparency at product level — we do not make collection-wide claims that cannot be verified product by product. Certification status, botanical origin, fatty acid profile, usage guidelines, and skin type suitability are specified on each individual product page. The collection sets the standard and the framework; the product page delivers the proof and the detail.

Which hand cream is right for my skin type? — The four certified organic hand creams cover different needs. The organic Hyaluronic Acid hand cream is the best choice for dehydrated, tight, or ageing hands — fast-absorbing, non-greasy, suitable for use throughout the day. The organic Shea Butter & Honey hand cream is the richest option — best for very dry, cracked, or work-stressed hands, or as an evening treatment. The organic Aloe Vera Light hand cream is the lightest texture — ideal for warm weather, oily skin types, or those who dislike the feel of heavier creams. The organic Hands & Nails cream is the most versatile — it nourishes both skin and nails simultaneously and is a good daily all-rounder. All four are certified organic and free from mineral oils and synthetic preservatives.

Which oil is best for brittle or damaged nails? — For brittle, peeling, or slow-growing nails, the most targeted certified organic oils in this collection are Borage Oil and Evening Primrose Oil — both rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid with documented anti-inflammatory and skin barrier repair properties. Apply a small drop to each nail plate and cuticle daily, ideally at night. Certified organic Castor Oil is the classic nail strengthening oil — its ricinoleic acid content provides humectant and protective action on the nail plate. For best results, use Castor Oil daily and Borage or Evening Primrose Oil two to three times per week as a more intensive treatment.

Is the natural nail polish really free from the five problematic ingredients? — Yes — the Natural Nail Polish and Natural Nail Coat 3-in-1 are formulated without formaldehyde, toluene, dibutyl phthalate (DBP), camphor, and formaldehyde resin — the five most commonly cited problematic ingredients in conventional nail varnish. They are natural formulations, not certified organic — certified organic nail colour is not currently achievable within the COSMOS standard due to the technical constraints of nail polish chemistry. Certification status is clearly specified on the product page.

Is the nail polish remover safe for frequent use? — The Natural Nail Polish Remover is formulated without acetone and without synthetic solvents — making it significantly gentler on the nail plate and surrounding skin than conventional acetone-based removers. Acetone is highly effective but strips the nail plate of moisture and natural oils with repeated use, contributing to brittleness and dryness. The natural remover is suitable for more frequent use, though we recommend applying certified organic Castor Care Oil or Argan Oil to the nail plate and cuticle after each removal to restore surface moisture.

Can I use the neutral cream on very sensitive or reactive skin? — Yes — the organic Neutral Cream is specifically formulated without fragrance and without preservatives, making it one of the most suitable certified organic hand creams for very sensitive, reactive, or allergy-prone skin. It is also suitable as a base for those who want to add their own certified organic essential oils or active ingredients at a controlled dilution. For skin that reacts to most fragranced or preserved hand creams, the Neutral Cream is the most appropriate starting point in this collection.

How do I do the overnight hand treatment with Shea Butter or Mango Butter? — Apply a generous amount of certified organic Shea Butter or Mango Butter to clean hands — warming a small amount between the palms first makes it easier to spread. Massage into the skin, cuticles, and nail plate. Put on a pair of clean cotton gloves and leave overnight. The gloves create a gentle occlusive environment that enhances absorption and prevents the butter from transferring to bedlinen. This protocol is particularly effective for severely dry, cracked, or work-stressed hands — one to two applications per week produces visible improvement in skin softness and cuticle condition.

What is the Yellow Nails Aroma’Net treatment and how does it work? — The Organic Treatment Yellow Nails Aroma’Net is a certified organic essential oil-based nail treatment formulated for nail discolouration. Its active ingredients include certified organic Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia, rich in terpinen-4-ol) and Spike Lavender (Lavandula spica) — both among the most widely used essential oils in aromatherapy practice for nail health, due to their documented antimicrobial and antifungal properties. Apply to clean, dry, unvarnished nails according to the instructions on the product page. Consistency of application over several weeks is more important than frequency of individual applications.

Which products in this collection are suitable for very sensitive skin? — The most suitable products for very sensitive hand skin are: the organic Neutral Cream (fragrance-free, preservative-free); the organic Aloe Vera Light hand cream (lightweight, gentle formulation); the organic Pure Olive cleansing gel (fragrance-free cleansing); the organic Calendula Baby Balm (formulated for the most sensitive skin types); and the certified organic Calendula macerate (soothing, anti-inflammatory, in a pure oil base). All are certified organic and free from synthetic preservatives and synthetic fragrance. Always check individual product pages for the full ingredient list.

Where can I find detailed information about each product? — Every product page includes full ingredient information, certification status, botanical origin, usage guidelines, and skin type suitability.
