  • Publication number: 20250345255
    Abstract: Techniques for improving nail health of a user may be provided. The method may include providing a composition including an oil phase. The oil phase may include a vasodilator. The vasodilator may be present in a concentration (CV) of, e.g., 0<CV?5% by weight of the composition. The vasodilator may be a single vasodilator (such as vanillyl butyl ether). The vasodilator may include a plurality of vasodilators. The oil phase may include a non-volatile oil. The non-volatile oil may include one or more vegetable oils, which may be seed oils. The non-volatile oil may be present in a concentration (CNVO) of CNVO?90% by weight of the composition. The oil phase may include a preservative and an antioxidant. The composition may be in the form of a liquid oil, a thickened oil, or a paste.
