εὖSKIN® Nail Repair Oil
)
εὖSKIN® Nail Repair Oil was developed with the purpose of enhancing the growth of healthy nails and repairing damaged ones. Its key components are Grapeseed, Lavender, and Gynura procumbens.
Grapeseed oil has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties due to the high content of polyphenols, proanthocyanidins and resveratrol. Topical application on skin lesions increases cell density and deposition of connective tissue at the wound1.
Lavender oil owes its anti-bacterial and anti-fungal activity to its main components, which are monoterpenes such as linalool and linalyl acetate2. It was previously shown that topical application of lavender oil increased collagen synthesis by fibroblasts3.
Gynura procumbens properties were found to inhibit the expression of the proteins responsible for the degradation of collagen4. Due to its high percentage of phenolic compounds, it exhibits natural antioxidant activity5.
