This nail and cuticle oil makes a great gift to place in an Aromatherapy Gift Basket. The quantities mentioned in this recipe will fit into a 2 oz jar.

Few things to note when making this nail and cuticle oil recipe:
- Though it is called ‘Nail and Cuticle Oil’, it looks more creamy than oily. This is because I have used the solid coconut oil, which I find works better for this recipe. It is easier to apply and massage into the nails and cuticles.
- Because essential oils are used in the recipe, it is advisable to store the finished nail and cuticle oil in a dark colored glass jar. This is because essential oils lose their properties when exposed to light.
- Below are some glass jars I found that are perfect for storing your DIY Nail and Cuticle Cream. You can buy one or multiple depending on whether you are making it for your own use or also to give away. Most of these come with labels and a spatula, which can be very handy.
- Using the spatula helps avoid any contamination.
How to Use Your Homemade Nail and Cuticle Cream
This nail and cuticle cream works best when applied over damp skin.
Apply it after a shower or soak your fingers in warm water for a few minutes before applying.
To apply, massage a small amount of oil into each nail and the surrounding cuticles.
Massage gently for a few minutes.
Wipe off excess nail and cuticle oil with a soft, clean, dry cloth.
Do this regularly for healthy nails and cuticles.
