Nail Softener and Keratolytic Products for Professional Pedicure

A nail softener is a professional pedicure product used to soften hardened skin, calluses, corns, and rough skin on the feet, making them easier to remove during the pedicure service. This collection carries nail softeners and keratolytic products from Shelly For Professionals, Kodi Professional, and Staleks Pro, covering keratolytic gels (standard and local action), a foam softener, a pedicure softener liquid, and an ingrown nail softener. Products are suited to nail technicians, pedicure specialists, and nail salons who need a reliable, multi-format source for professional nail softeners and keratolytic treatments.

The collection includes four product formats: keratolytic gel (the dominant format, available in standard and local action versions from multiple brands), foam softener (Shelly Express Foam), pedicure softener liquid (Kodi), and ingrown nail softener (Shelly). Sizes range from 30 ml to 200 ml.
