Arriving at Paris's "colette" from the end of October!
Nail oil born from "uka" – a place where beauty blossoms and takes flight.

Reborn from EXCeL, "uka" is a total beauty salon that supports women as they beautifully take flight into adulthood, much like a chrysalis transforming into a butterfly.
With the concept of "the place with the most joy in the world," uka meticulously crafts each element that leads to happiness, such as beautiful things and surprises, to deliver beauty to Japanese women.
The "uka Nail Oil," long anticipated, is the first product to be launched.

Nail oil is essential for moisturizing the nails and surrounding skin, but for busy women, reapplying it frequently can be difficult. Therefore, to seamlessly integrate it into daily life, top nailist Kiho Watanabe, who directs the brand, developed a nail oil that anyone can use easily and enjoyably.
With the strong support of Mr. Gilles Barthelemy, president of a company dealing in high-quality essential oils from around the world, this uka Nail Oil was created by fusing essential oils, known in French aromatherapy, with the techniques, experience, and sense honed over 14 years of salon work.

Fragrance and texture for every moment, from waking up to bedtime.

The "uka Nail Oil" is characterized by its distinct fragrances and textures for each variant.
With the desire for users to apply it multiple times a day, each oil is blended with different essential oils to suit various occasions, such as upon waking, during work, after work, and before sleep.
The naming is also unique. "7:15" and "13:00" are named after the optimal times for their use.

Including the "Basic" for treatment, there are a total of five types in the lineup.

For example, 7:15 features Japanese-inspired scents like sandalwood, hinoki, and refreshing yuzu. Its pleasant, subtle stimulation helps create an ideal start to the day.

13:00 combines mint and lemon for enhanced concentration with pine for energy recovery and marjoram to boost freshness, creating a scent that refreshes before afternoon activities. Its non-greasy, quickly absorbing texture leaves hands feeling moisturized yet smooth, perfect for daytime use.

Ease of use is key to making nail care a habit.

The bottle features a "mini roll-on" type applicator, where a ball at the tip rolls to dispense the oil. This system, which allows for even application by simply rolling it onto the fingertips, is incredibly user-friendly.

The roll-on glides over four fingers at once, making application quick and easy. Even if the cap loosens or the bottle tips over on a desk, there's no risk of spillage. Furthermore, it dispenses only the appropriate amount, preventing waste and making it remarkably economical. Its size, similar to a lip balm, is not only easy to handle but also ideal for carrying and use in the office.

The base oil is "argan oil," which contains three times more vitamin E than olive oil. Naturally, all plant ingredients are organic. It contains no additives or artificial fragrances and has obtained "Ecocert," the world's strictest international organic certification. Being completely organic, it can be used not only as a nail oil but also as a massage oil or lip oil. It's also a bonus that it can be used as a light fragrance when desired.

No longer can "being busy" be an excuse. This "fragrant" nail oil, easily usable anytime and anywhere, transforms finger care into a habit.
