Inside the Blend | Cuticle Butter

At Pressed & Refreshed, every ingredient I choose has a purpose. I don't just want to make something that feels good, I want to make something that truly does good for your nails, cuticles, and skin. My cuticle butter is a rich, nourishing blend designed to soften dry cuticles, strengthen nails, and keep your hands looking and feeling beautiful.

Here’s a closer look at why this formula works so well:

🧈 Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter

Shea butter is a skin-repairing hero, packed with vitamins A and E, essential fatty acids, and antioxidants. It deeply nourishes dry, cracked cuticles, boosts elasticity, and creates a protective barrier that locks in moisture and shields against environmental stress.

🥭 Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Butter

Mango butter is rich in vitamins A, C, and E and helps soften rough skin, improve elasticity, and support skin renewal. It brings a silky texture to my cuticle butter while delivering long-lasting hydration.

🐝 Cera Alba (Beeswax)

Beeswax is a natural occlusive, which means it forms a light protective layer over the skin to seal in moisture. It helps keep your cuticles hydrated, reduces transepidermal water loss, and adds a natural, gentle firmness to the butter.

🌿 Cera Bellina

A unique beeswax derivative, Cera Bellina improves the texture and spreadability of my cuticle butter. It also enhances the skin’s ability to retain moisture, leaving the nail area soft and smooth without feeling greasy.

🌸 Camellia Oleifera (Camellia) Seed Oil

Camellia oil is lightweight yet rich in oleic acid and antioxidants, making it deeply moisturizing and perfect for delicate cuticle skin. It softens, smooths, and helps restore the nail’s natural shine.

🧴 Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Oil

Extracted from shea nuts, shea oil offers the same skin-nourishing benefits as shea butter but in a lighter form. It absorbs beautifully, delivering fatty acids and vitamins that condition and strengthen the skin around the nails.

🌹 Rosa Canina Fruit (Rosehip) Oil

Rosehip oil is packed with vitamins A and C, which help encourage skin regeneration, brighten dark spots, and strengthen brittle nails. Its essential fatty acids also help repair damaged or dry cuticles.

🍚 Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil

Rice bran oil is a gentle, antioxidant-rich oil that moisturizes and soothes. It’s especially beneficial for softening rough cuticles and calming irritation or redness.

Herbal Infusion:

💜 Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Flower Extract

Lavender brings soothing, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory benefits. It helps calm irritated skin, promotes healing, and adds a gentle, calming scent that makes each use a moment of self-care.

🌼 Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract

Calendula is a natural healer, known for its ability to calm inflammation, reduce redness, and support the repair of damaged skin. It’s perfect for restoring dry, cracked cuticles and keeping the nail area healthy.

The Finishing Touch: Vitamin E & Fragrance

I round out this luxurious formula with Tocopherol (Vitamin E), a powerful antioxidant that protects against free radical damage, supports skin healing, and enhances moisture retention. A bit of fragrance (parfum) adds scent that will turn your nail care ritual into a pampering experience.
