What exactly is "Clean Beauty" at Unicorn Lab?
The Meaning of Clean Beauty
Clean beauty refers to nail care products that are mindfully formulated with a focus on ingredient safety and transparency. At Unicorn Lab, we believe you shouldn't have to choose between your wellness and professional results.
We refuse to market a "holy grail miracle" cuticle oil using sneaky tactics. Instead, we let our results and our ingredients do the talking.Our luxury nail serums are 12-Free, meaning we’ve intentionally excluded twelve of the most common irritants and harsh chemicals found in traditional nail care. Instead, we use a concentrated, high-performance blend that prioritizes nutrient-rich, plant-based ingredients to deliver a premium manicure experience without the compromise.

What's the best way to use Cuticle Oil?
Apply like a pro!
- Apply a drop of the cuticle oil onto each hand and surrounding cuticle area. (One drop is enough for 5 nails!)
- Gently massage the oil into the skin and nails until fully absorbed.
- For best results, use morning and night to maintain hydrated and healthy cuticles.
- Apply after shower or washing hand for optimal results
- Patch test before use, especially for those with severe allergies. (our nail serums are nut free by the way!
How to get the most out of your Unicorn Oil:
- Daily Nutrition: Apply to the base of the nail and massage in to feed the nail matrix and promote healthy, natural growth.
- Enhancement Aftercare: Use twice daily to prevent lifting in BIAB, Gel, and Acrylic sets. Nails expand in water and shrink when dehydrated, dry nails can shrink and pull away from your expensive mani. Keep your girls hydrated = less lifting. Flexible nails are strong nails!
- Environmental Shield: Protects skin from dehydration caused by harsh weather, sanitizers, and frequent hand washing.
- Nightly Ritual: Apply as the final step (but before lotions!) in your skincare routine for deep, overnight restoration.
- Photo-Ready Finish: The perfect way to get that "fresh from the salon" glow for your latest nail-fies (Admit it,, we've all been guilty of taking a snap of a fancy cocktail or hard launching that new engagment ring!
Pro-Tip: A little goes a long way. Our small-molecule formula is designed to absorb quickly— greasy fingerprints arn't welcome on our phone screens..
