Kerassentials Ingredients: The Nine Oils On The Label

The full list, in the order the label groups them: Undecylenic acid (derived from castor oil), tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E), lavender, organic flaxseed, almond, tea tree, lemongrass, aloe vera and clove bud.

Undecylenic acid is the one that matters most when people compare nail oils, because it comes from castor oil rather than being a synthetic addition. Tocopheryl acetate is vitamin E in the form used in cosmetics.

The botanical half - lavender, flaxseed, almond, tea tree, lemongrass, aloe vera and clove bud - is what makes the formula an oil rather than a thin liquid. Clove bud and tea tree are the two strongest-smelling of them.

Almond oil is the line to read twice. Anyone with a nut allergy should patch test first, and the label carries that warning rather than leaving it to the product page.

The list is by ingredient type. It does not promise a medical result, and nothing on this site should be read as a claim beyond what the bottle itself states.

Each entry is cross-checked against the close-up video, which holds the ingredient panel at reading distance for long enough to copy it out.
