Important information
Ingredients
Contains Dimethylurea, a hardener of the nail keratin, and Crystal resin tears, from the pistachio mastic tree, native from the island of Chios in Greece. This gum extract supports the natural keratinization process of nails, reinforcing them. The nail plate will become richer in keratin, therefore more resistant.
Directions
Remove manicure and any oily film from nails. Apply MAVALA SCIENTIFIQUE K+ from the centre of the nail to the tip only. Avoid touching cuticles and skin around nails, in order not to harden them as well. Leave to penetrate for one minute, by holding hands downwards so that the product does not run onto the cuticles. Its application can be followed by your usual manicure (base coat, nail polish, top coat). Use two to three times a week until nails have obtained the desired hardness. Then, you may space out the applications.

Grow your Nails for a Strong, Beautiful, and Natural Style - Perfect for French Manicures
Perfect for maintaining French manicures, MAVALA Scientifique K+ keeps nail tips strong, smooth, and resistant to chipping. Its formula hardens the nail plate by sealing together the three layers of the nail and thus allowing splitting, soft and therefore brittle nails, to regain their normal appearance, strength and shine. And for easier application, it is also available in a handy pen format.

The Gold Standard of Nail Hardeners, World Renound and Award Winning
MAVALA Scientifique K+ strengthens soft, splitting nails by hardening the nail tip—where breakage starts. Its keratin-boosting formula penetrates deeply, bonding with the nail’s natural structure to restore resistance and prevent flaking. Formulated with 90% of natural origin ingredients. Contains Dimethylurea, a hardener of the nail keratin, and Crystal resin tears, from the pistachio mastic tree, native from the island of Chios in Greece. This gum extract supports the natural keratinization process of nails - the nail plate will become richer in keratin & more resistant.

Help Grow your Nails Long, Hard, Strong, & Beautiful with Natural Ingredients

This penetrating aqueous solution, that is neither a base nor a nail polish, hardens soft nails and avoids them breaking or splitting.

- Reviewed in Canada on June 5, 2025Verified PurchaseIf you’re thinking about getting this ….don’t wait any longer. At first I thought it was kind of expensive but the small bottle last a very long time and works wonders. My hands are pretty busy during the day so I would always have my nails split which sucks ! But since using this product it hasn’t been happening as much as before . I apply it twice a week and my nail really do feel stronger. I’m ordering my second bottle after a few months of having the first one so I thought I should leave a review.

This stuff is amazing! My nails were splitting VERTICALLY. I have some health issues. Although skeptical, I thought I would try it anyway. I have been using it exactly as directed for about 6 weeks. My nails are on the mend! It is nothing short of a miracle. My nails are getting stronger, too. I LOVE this product! I am so grateful to have found something that works as well as this. Awesome product!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Long and strong nails in 4 months of use
Verified PurchaseI made a comment after 2 months of use and came here to correct it.
Well, my nails always took a long time to grow (because I always bit them), I did stretching in Brazil, and it ruined my nail (it became as thin as paper). I bought this product and used it for 1 month and a half and my nails were weaker than before, I actually thought it wasn't working, but I kept using it.
Today, 3 and a half months later I am shocked!!!!! My nails grow in 1 week, I always have to file them (otherwise they get huge and make it difficult to wash my hair, lol). They are hard (they no longer bend, they no longer break).
I'm taking 1 Biotin tablet just to help with growth. I saw some Brazilian reviews, where the girls say that the Mavala bottle lasted 1 year, and despite using it every week, and having been using it for almost 4 months, now I'm buying the second bottle (I still have a little in the bottle, but I don't want to interrupt the use, until a new bottle arrives).
I think it's worth it. How I use it: I remove the cuticle, wash the nail with a brush (nail) and neutral soap (top and bottom of the nail), dry well, and then apply Mavala Top Coat. I wait for it to dry and apply the polish normally. I only use it when I get my nails done (1x/week).
I posted a before photo (with cell phone in hand) and an after photo (with nailsssss).

TanjaReviewed in Germany on August 20, 2023
5.0 out of 5 stars Ein kleines Wundermittel
Verified PurchaseUnglaublich effektiv. Schon nach zwei-maligem Anwenden habe ich einen Unterschied gemerkt.
Im Urlaub bin ich zu einem Nageldesigner gegangen, der meine Nägel leider viel zu stark abgeschliffen hat. Das Resultat war katastrophal. Meine Nägel waren danach sehr dünn, brüchig und biegsam wie dünnes Papier.
Meine Mutter, die generell dünne Nägel hat, konnte mir auch keinen Härter nennen, der so dünne, beschädigte Nägel effektiv unterstützt.
Auf der Internet-Suche nach einem funktionierendem Nagelhärter bin ich auf Mavala Scientifique K+Nagelhärter ohne Formaldehyd gestossen.
Aufgrund der vielen guten Rezessionen habe ich mich dafür entschieden - und bin nicht enttäuscht worden.
Nach nur 1,5 Wochen sind meine Nägel nicht mehr von selbst eingerissen oder abgebrochen. Wenn ich mit dem Fingerkuppe auf die Oberseite der Nägel drückte, sind die diese nicht mehr - wie vorher - nach unten gebogen.
Nach 3 Wochen habe ich die die Anwendung von "jedem zweiten Tag" auf jeden dritten oder vierten ausgedehnt. Dies passierte auf natürliche Weise, da ich aufgrund der Stärke der Nägel einfach vergessen habe, sie zu behandeln.
Nach 4 Wochen hatte ich wieder starke, natürliche Nägel, die nicht brechen und lang wuchsen.
Da mein Erfolg bei den beschädigten Nägeln so herausragend war, kaufte ich nach 2 Wochen auch für meine Mutter eine Flasche, die genauso gute Erfahrungen mit ihren natürlich dünnen Nägeln machte. Das erste Mal seit Jahrzehnten muss sie ihre Nägel nicht lackieren, damit sie nicht sofort brechen.
Ich kann jedem mit brüchigen oder dünnen Nägeln empfehlen, dieses Produkt auszuprobieren.

Morgane SReviewed in France on April 11, 2024
5.0 out of 5 stars ÉٴDzԲԲԳ!
Verified PurchaseJe suis vraiment pas déçue !
✨ Contexte: j'ai les ongles abîmés par une dépose mal réalisée et j'utilise mes mains et ongles tous les jours au travail de façon intensive. ✨
Ça fait 1 semaine que je l'applique tous les jours (2 couches), et parfois 2 fois par jours. Au bout d'une semaine je vois et sens déjà une grande différence. Le bout de l'ongle est plus dur et résistant. Les endroits où j'avais des dédoublement s'effacent, et Le bout de l'ongle est plus blanc.
Avantages du produit : est absorbé très rapidement par l'ongle, le temps que je fasse la 2ème main, la 1ere est sèche donc je peux enchaîner direct avec la 2eme couche. L'odeur est neutre. Il fonctionne sur moi.
Inconvénients : rien a voir avec le produit, c'est le carton dans lequel on le reçoit qui est nul est pas adapté, l'emballage du produit était tout abîmé, c'est hyper risqué. On envoi pas ce type de colis dans un carton plat !
Je recommande, j'ai hâte de voir l'évolution sur plusieurs semaines / mois !
EDIT 05/05 : Après quelques semaines d'utilisation, je vois que mes ongles sont en bien meilleur état et plus épais et plus durs. J'ai toujours de la casse sur les ongles que je malmène le plus au travail, mais j'ai pas trop le choix , j'ai pris pour habitude d'utiliser mes ongles comme des outils ahah. Faite attention a ne pas en mettre sur votre peau car effectivement, ca va beaucoup la durcir !!
Bref je continue le traitement et reviendrai donner des nouvelles petit à petit
EDIT 06.07 : j'utilise toujours le produit, 2 couches tous les 4 jours environ. Mes ongles ont vraiment changé, ils sont plus beaux et résistants, le bout de l'ongle est bien plus dur et j'ai nettement moins de casse.
La prochaine étape serait de reprendre les poses de VSP et de continuer ce traitement.
Je continue donc de vous recommander le produit que je trouve très efficace ! 😊
EDIT 18/08 : J'utilise toujours le produit ( il semble encore plein, j'ai l'impression qu'une vie ne suffira pas a en venir a bout ahah). Environ 2 applications par semaines, je ne saurai plus m'en passer. Mes ongles sont bien plus beaux et forts qu'avant, malgré le boulot j'arrive à les maintenir en bonne santé! Donc je le recommande toujours, si vous avez les ongles abimés par des poses et déposes de vernis semi- permanent etc, vous allez les ressusciter !
EDIT 17/11/24 : Et ben sans surprise, quand j'oublie d'en mettre pendant au moins 1 semaine, mes ongles redeviennent mous et cassants .. donc le produit est toujours aussi efficace sur moi et je vois une réelle différence !
EDIT 15/06/2025: me revoilà :) plus d'un an d'essai plus tard! mon avis reste le même, ce produit fonctionne très bien sur moi, la différence est flagrante quand je fais une pause du produit, mes ongles cassent vite et poussent lentement et quand je recommence à l'utiliser, mes ongles poussent vraiment tellement plus vite et plus forts ! je n'ai toujours pas fini le flacon acheté il y a un an, achat hyper rentable, je vous le recommande toujours :)
