Cuticle Care
Healthy nails start at the cuticle. It's the small strip of skin most people ignore — until it's dry, torn, or catching on everything. At Navy, cuticle care isn't an afterthought to a manicure; it's the foundation of it. A well made life begins with what you do often, and a minute a day on your cuticles is one of the highest-impact habits you can build for stronger, healthier-looking nails.
Our cuticle care range is formulated and made on our Yorkshire farm, using natural, nourishing ingredients designed to hydrate, soften and protect — without stripping the nail bed or leaving residue behind
Frequently asked questions
Yes — regular use of a nourishing balm or serum keeps the skin around the nail supple, which is one of the best ways to prevent hangnails forming in the first place.
Cuticles protect the nail bed from infection, so we recommend gently pushing back and moisturising rather than cutting where possible. If trimming is needed, use a precision tool designed for the job (like our Katey or Helen nippers) rather than regular scissors.
Balms are thicker and more concentrated, best for intensive overnight repair. Serums are lighter and faster-absorbing, better suited to daytime use or reapplying throughout the day.
Daily is ideal, especially before bed. For very dry or damaged cuticles, apply both morning and night until condition improves, then maintain with once-daily use.
