Our Mission Is To Restore Natural Nail Strength

Dr Tom Cawood is a hospital doctor, published lab scientist, and passionate classical guitarist. He developed this nail strengthening cream after years of frustration with nail breakages that stopped him from playing guitar.

A single weak nail can derail practice, rehearsals, or performances.
For guitarists, nail strength alone isn’t enough - flexibility, and a smooth edge are also needed to produce a consistent tone.

SCIENCE BEHIND DR TOM

At 17, our founder, Tom Cawood, had already started experimenting with ways to protect his nails for guitar, giving up rugby to avoid breaks and even using superglue and gloves to keep them intact.

He might not have known it then, but that teenage guitarist — sanding his nails and tweaking his tone — would one day become the doctor who built a better solution for all of us.

ADVANCED KERATIN TECHNOLOGY

Science-Backed Strength For Naturally Stronger Nails

Unlike traditional nail products that simply coat the surface, our formula is designed to work deeper.

We use a proprietary blend of keratin, including a specialised hydrolysed form derived from New Zealand wool. This advanced form allows the protein to better penetrate the nail plate.

Instead of creating a temporary protective layer, our keratin bonds with your nail’s natural structure reinforcing it from within.

Over time, this internal support helps improve flexibility while reducing brittleness and surface splitting.

Why Hydrolysed Keratin?

Hydrolysed keratin is broken down into smaller molecules, allowing better absorption into the nail. This helps strengthen weak areas and support healthier nail growth.
