  • Cuticle oil: When the hands have problems such as dryness, roughness, dead skin and roughness, applying an appropriate amount to the edges of the nails can effectively alleviate it. The most common forms of use are brush-head type and dropper type. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages: the brush-head type is easier to control the amount, and the bristles are easy to bring oil into the fingers; while the dropper type does not directly contact with skin to avoid bringing dry skin flakes into the product and avoid contamination. Recently, a packaging material that combines two types of packaging materials has been developed to resemble a brush. The finger oil is filled into the pen tube and squeezed to allow the oil to flow to the bristles, making it more convenient and faster to use.
