Why Plum Oil Is the Hero Your Cuticles Have Been Waiting For

Why Plum Oil Is the Hero Your Cuticles Have Been Waiting For

Do you struggle with brittle nails that constantly break? Or find that hangnails ruin your otherwise perfect manicure? If either sounds familiar, we have a simple solution: start using cuticle oil daily.

Several years ago, we introduced Silhouette, Sainte Nèl's overnight cuticle serum. Every year, it remains a best-seller, and for good reason: it works. As one happy customer put it, “You literally need one drop per hand. Bye hangnails!”

At Sainte Nèl, our mission is to promote strong nails and healthy hands through clean, effective ingredients. As we learn and grow, we’re committed to improving our products to deliver even better results.

Recently, we updated Silhouette’s formula to include a powerful new hero ingredient: Plum Oil. Why Plum Oil?

Also known as Plum Seed or Plum Kernel Oil, this lightweight, non-greasy oil is sourced from French Ente plum seeds and cold pressed. Cold pressing preserves more of the oil’s natural antioxidants and unsaturated fatty acids, making it incredibly nourishing. 

Plum Oil is rich in Omega-6 and Omega-9 fatty acids, which help improve skin elasticity. Elasticity is important for maintaining healthy, supple cuticles, and keeps your hand’s skin tight (and not saggy looking). It’s also packed with Vitamin E and has a lovely, subtle, natural scent with notes of almonds and fruit.

We’ve carefully blended this luxurious oil with other cold-pressed botanicals in our organic, vegan, and cruelty-free formula. Experience the power of Plum Oil for yourself. Pick up the newly enhanced Silhouette overnight cuticle oil and treat your nails to the care they deserve.
