nail cuticle remover description details a liquid product that softens and dissolves dead cuticle skin to allow for easy removal during a manicure or pedicure, leaving the nails clean and the surrounding skin moisturized. It is applied to the nail bed and cuticles, allowed to sit for a short time, then the softened cuticles are pushed back and brushed away, revealing a smooth, clean nail plate. Ingredients by Function
