An interesting observation...

[RocknRoll]

I've noticed that my nails are so much longer and stronger since I've been making soap for the past few months. Before they were peeling and weak and wouldnt get long at all.

The only thing I can think of is that everytime I make soap, I get shea, cocoa butters, coconut/palm oils all over my hands while digging out of the bucket with my ice cream scoop. maybe nails like this regular "conditioning treatment."

Could this be the reason for my long, strong nails? Has anyone else noticed this? It's the only thing that I have done differently in my life. and no, Im not preggo :angel:

Hmmmz. It does seems so. I will continue to observe my nails too.

Yep absolutely. Nails are skin, and they breathe grow, absorb moisture, and have a life cycle like hair. It's the same but structurely different just to be a bit harder then skin. Good moisturizer nails are less prone to breaking and good healthy cuticles make better nails. Good chance your butters are helping there.

Something else to consider. Nail will also grow stronger, longer and faster with increased circulation! Maybe making soap gets your fingers moving a bit more!
