Nail _____ can penetrate the nail plate or skin and will have longer-lasting moisturizing effects?

Oils are specifically formulated to penetrate the nail plate and the skin around it, enhancing hydration and providing longer-lasting moisturizing effects. This deep penetration is due to their smaller molecular structure, which allows them to seep into the skin and nail layers more effectively than creams or lotions. Oils often include nourishing ingredients that can support the health of the nail and surrounding tissue, making them particularly beneficial for maintaining moisture in areas that might be prone to dryness or cracking.

In contrast, creams and lotions typically have a thicker consistency and may not be able to penetrate the nail plate as effectively as oils can. Cuticle removers are designed to assist in the removal of excess cuticle skin rather than providing hydration, and while they may soften the cuticle, they do not have the same moisturizing properties.
