Regularly applying a strengthening treatment to your bare nails can be considered to restructure the nail plate, resulting in flexible and resilient nails. Such treatments work by filling the microscopic gaps in the nail and hydrating it, making it less likely to be damaged. They are formulated from a combination of active ingredients (silanediol salicylate, Pistacia lentiscus gum, keratin, silicon, etc.), which increase the quantity and quality of silicon and keratin in the nails.
They also contain moisturising agents (panthenol, hyaluronic acid, glycerine, urea, etc.) that adhere to the surface to strengthen and consolidate the structure of the nail, and deeply hydrate the cuticles, thus contributing to the maintenance of the barrier function and protecting it from dryness. To improve the appearance of nails, this type of care also incorporates film-forming agents (polyurethane, nitrocellulose, etc.) in order to create a continuous, flexible film that is impermeable to environmental risks. This combination of ingredients thus promotes the natural process of nail growth.
