Mango Cuticle Balm Recipe

Cuticle Balms are a hot item on the market. They are firm but moisturizing and help heal hang nails, cracked cuticles, and can even be used on calluses and dry knuckles. Formulated with ultra-moisturizing Mango Butter, it is a stiff balm but melts upon contact with the skin. It provides lots of lubricity and stays on the skin to form a protective barrier, simply apply to nails and cuticles and massage gently.
