Pear Nova's Soy Remover.
“Refresh will not only remove your classic lacquer, but it will nourish your nails, cuticles and surrounding skin with Vitamins A, D and E,” shares Pear Nova Founder and CEO Rachel James.
Refresh Soy Remover’s non-acetone formula moisturizes and conditions the nails on every use, versus the harsh ingredients that dry out the nails and skin like typical acetone removers.
Designed with a clean luxe and recyclable glass, it will not irritate sensitive skin, and helps to strengthen nails with repeated use. Refresh contains tea tree oil which is known to aid in soothing painful and irritated cuticles. The antibacterial and antifungal properties in tea tree oil will also help prevent nail fungus—great for anyone’s nail health journey!

This three-piece kit is formulated with rich, decadent ingredients to exfoliate, soothe and treat the body to a spa-quality experience. The Soak, Scrub & Butter Set is the ultimate treat for mental and physical wellness.
Soak—add a couple spoonfuls to warm water for an anti-inflammatory and skin-softening hand or foot soak. The eucalyptus is sure to soothe!
Scrub—an organic, raw sugar scrub that includes nourishing mango butter and jojoba oil. Exfoliate gently on clean, wet skin.
Butter—a rich moisturizer packed with antioxidants to aid in skin repair. Massage into skin until absorbed, focusing on the cuticles. A little goes a long way! Can also be used on any body parts that need some extra moisture.
These three products can also be purchased separately.
