Product Overview
Cell-Power Nail Oil is a concentrated conditioning oil for dry, brittle nails and the cuticle area. Massaged in daily, it nourishes and softens the nail surface and helps nails and cuticles look smoother and better cared for.
The formula is a pure oil blend built on Abyssinian, sweet almond, macadamia, olive and argan oils. MBR also positions it as a finishing layer over polish, where it forms an extra barrier on top.
Recommended For
- Dry, brittle nails that split or flake easily.
- Dry, rough or ragged-looking cuticles.
- Hands often exposed to water, cleaning products or hand sanitiser.
- Anyone who wants a conditioning finish over a manicure.
Texture and Experience
A light, fast-sinking oil with a delicate fragrance. A single drop covers several nails and massages in without a greasy after-feel.
Key Ingredients
- Abyssinian Oil: Nourishing oil, rich in omega 9, which noticeably smoothes the surface structure of skin and nails.
- Almond Oil: Intensely nourishing and soothing oil, rich in lipids such as triglycerides and fatty acids, used since ancient times for its nutrient-rich conditioning properties.
- Macadamia Oil: Pressed from the chestnut-like stone fruits of the macadamia tree, it adds a soft, cushioning richness to the blend.
- Olive and Argan Oils: Round out the blend with emollient lipids and natural vitamin E for antioxidant support.
Conscious Formula
MBR states its formulas are developed and produced in Germany under pharmaceutical-industry manufacturing standards, without animal testing. Formulas can be updated; the current ingredient list is shown in the Ingredients tab above and on the product packaging.

Safety Information
For external use only. Avoid direct contact with the eyes. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Keep the bottle tightly closed and store away from direct heat and sunlight.
Not recommended for:
- Nails or cuticles that are broken, sore or weeping.
- Use immediately before applying nail polish, as oil stops polish from adhering properly.
- Skin that reacts to fragranced products, as the formula contains fragrance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I use it before or after nail polish?
Both are possible, but not at the same moment. On bare nails, apply any time. Over a manicure, wait until the polish is fully dry, then use the oil as a finishing barrier on top.
How often should I apply it?
Daily is ideal, and evenings work best because the oil has undisturbed time to sink in. Add an extra application after washing up or cleaning.
Will my nails feel greasy afterwards?
Not if you use a small amount. One drop is enough for several nails; massage it into the nail plate and cuticle until it disappears.
How is it different from MBR Cell-Power Hand Treatment?
The Hand Treatment is a cream for the whole hand. Nail Oil is the targeted step, concentrated purely on the nail plate and the cuticle border, and the two are designed to be used together.
Can I use it on dry cuticles before a manicure?
Yes. Massaging the oil in a few minutes beforehand makes cuticles easier to push back and leaves the nail edge looking tidier.
