nail hardener
sometimes nails become chipped, brittle and weakened. nail hardeners can strengthen and thicken the nail bed. however, they should not be used for any more than 2-3 weeks otherwise the nail will become too solid and inflexible.

nail care
the hands are a person’s visiting card. however perfect your make-up is – if the hands are not cared for the overall impression is lost. the basis for beautiful nails is thorough and regular cleaning and care of the nails and the cuticle – to complement the type of nail. as with the skin, different requirements come into play here. essence offers a wide range of products to cater for these particular requirements.

nickel(allergy)
nickel plays a role especially in fashion jewellery, belt clasps, coins and other metal items and can trigger allergic reactions in many people). in cosmetics it is (apart from tiny traces) not permitted and so does not cause any problems in this sector.
