<DIV>The purpose of the nail oil is to look pretty, and to sell. I agree
it's probably mystique -- ooooo, it's medicinal AND magenta... but I wanted to
see if there was actually any historical use / justification. If it
were hand oil then some of the other postings would be relavant. Soles of
feet and palms of hands absorb more chems then other topical areas. But
nails? that's the question. I am fully aware of what Panax is, if
it's in there just for show they probably source the cheapest available,
probably asian.</DIV>
<DIV>I don't want to share more of their proprietery information about
ingredients. I'm sourcing for them, not formulating, so, may not be able
to say anything about it. Or, may be able to convince them to source
it from some ethical farmer/s. We'll see.</DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for your note, J</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
