NAIL CARE
How often should I use Cuti?
Daily - at the minimum! We recommend applying twice a day (or more!) for max hydration and juiciness.
When is the best time to apply Cuti?
After a warm shower is a great time! Your skin is soft, supple and ready to absorb all the goodness of Cuti. Reapplying after using hand sanitiser is also a smart move - as it can be quite drying on your skin, nails and cuticles.
How do I apply Cuti to my nails?
PEN: Take the lid off the pen and slowly twist the end until you see the oil collect on the brush and apply generously!
BOTTLE: Gently unscrew the lid and squeeze and release the end to draw the oil up into the dropper. Carefully squeeze the end to place a small drop of oil onto the nail.
See where your nail meets the skin of your fingers? Slather it all around there. You can also gently massage the oil into your skin, nails and cuticles. Don’t forget to pop a drop under your nail too!
How does using cuticle oil benefit natural nails?
Regular use of Cuti cuticle oil helps boost your overall nail health by preventing the nails from becoming brittle and prone to breakage. Nourished nails are also more flexible and less likely to split or chip. Yay! Cuticles that are properly hydrated also have a healthier and more polished appearance.
Can I use Cuti on nails with polish, gels or tips?
Absolutely. In fact, we probably think you were a little crazy if you didn’t! Using Cuti with gel, acrylic or press ons will really help to maintain the health of both the natural nail underneath and the surrounding skin.
Hydrated nails are less prone to damage, breakage, and have better flexibility - reducing the risk of cracking or lifting of the polish, gel or tips.
How long does it take to see results from using Cuti?
One of the best bits of using Cuti is that you can see results almost immediately! Cuticles will be softer, skin will be moisturised and nails will have a beautiful sheen. There’s also no such thing as too much cuticle oil. The more regularly you apply Cuti - the better the results!
Can using cuticle oil help with nail growth?
You betcha! Cuticle oil nourishes the nail bed, providing essential nutrients that support the health of the nails. A healthy nail bed provides a solid foundation for new nail growth, and enhances the flexibility of the nails, reducing the risk of brittleness and breakage.

Why does my oil have floaties in there?
Cuti cuticle oil is made of 100% natural and organic plant-base ingredients. The oils go through minimal processing and aren’t as refined as some chemical based formulas.
We do our very best to remove any floaties, but it is possible you might see some small flecks of plant material in the bottle. This should settle, and does not affect the shelf life or use of your cuticle oil.

How do I refill my Cuti oil pen?
Gently screw the end of the pen in the reverse direction, so the stopper moves back down the pen tube. Once the stopper has reached the end, unscrew the brush tip from the pen. You may need to use a paper towel to help grip if the pen has some oil residue.
Gently unscrew the lid on the Cuti bottle and squeeze and release the end to draw the oil up into the dropper. Insert the tip of the dropper into the pen and squeeze the end to release the oil into the pen. Repeat this step until the pen is filled with the desired amount of oil and replace the brush end back onto the pen. Use a paper towel to tidy up any drips of oil. Avoid getting any water near your Cuti oil, as this can make the formula go cloudy
How many times can I reuse my Cuti cuticle oil pen?
As long as the brush and pen is clean and in good working order, you can reuse it as many times as you like.
Can I recycle my Cuti cuticle oil pen?
Unfortunately the pens are not recyclable, which is why we encourage you to reuse it as many times as you can.
