Founded in the Austrian Alpine region, Susanne Kaufmann is eco-conscious beauty brand that champions natural, vegan and cruelty-free ingredients. A standout from the brand is its line of hand and foot care – especially its nail oil, which nourishes nails and cuticles using a blend of nut and seed oils. The result? Moisturised, stronger and healthier-looking nails.
