NAIL WITH LONGITUDINAL GROOVES?
CONCERN
Longitudinal grooves are parallel furrows that run the full length of the nail from the matrix to the free edge. When they reach the tip, they can crack and create an irregular, ragged appearance. More common as skin ages and cell renewal slows, they can also be a sign of certain underlying conditions including lichen planus or impaired kidney function.
SOLUTION
Improving longitudinal grooves begins with nourishing the nail root, where the shape of every new nail is determined. Apply Nailactan treatment cream to the nail base each night to deliver targeted nutrition that supports smoother, more even nail formation over time. For persistent or worsening grooves, we recommend consulting a dermatologist for a thorough diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.
MAVALA CARES
We care about the planet. We aim to minimise our impact on the environment through the following measures:
Ingredients
We source our ingredients and raw materials from the nearest suppliers in Switzerland to reduce our carbon footprint. We also increasingly use ingredients that are readily biodegradable. In particular, we do not use plastic microbeads nor cyclopentasiloxane (D5), which contribute to ocean pollution.
Packaging
Whenever possible, we package our products without a box or cellophane and in recycled and recyclable materials (including plastic and glass) to reduce waste. We have also implemented clear labelling on product packaging to assist you in knowing which part of the packaging can be recycled and how.
Manufacturing
Whenever possible, we manufacture under cold conditions to reduce energy consumption. We are also implementing strict waste separation and recycling processes in our production site and warehouses, including that of our Canadian distributor.
