Nail care
  Nail care products contain lipids, vitamins, minerals, other nutrients, film forming polymers and humectants.  
      Common formulations are stick, cream, ointment, gel or lacquer.  
           
   
Nail diseases
  Permeation of an active drug through nail is severely restricted by nail structure. Often a permeation enhancer has to be added.  
      Formulations may also contain agents that
limit water evaporation from the nail.
