Launch comes as dermatologists warn that not every discolored or thickened nail is caused by fungus; company urges adults to get nail changes checked by a dermatologist or podiatrist first
AURORA, Colo., Oct. 2, 2026 — Kerafirm Pro today announced the U.S. launch of a brush-on topical oil for nails, emphasizing the importance of consulting a dermatologist for nail changes.
“A lot of people try to hide a nail they don’t like the look of, or reach for the first product they find,” said John Klipp, Media Relations at Kerafirm Pro. “Our first message is to have a doctor look at it, because several different conditions can look alike. Anyone who then chooses a topical nail-care product should know exactly what’s in it and how to use it, which is why we’re publishing that information.”
Nail Fungus Is Common, but Often Goes Unconfirmed
Fungal nail infection, known medically as onychomycosis, has been estimated to affect about 10 percent of the U.S. population.[1] It is more common with age and harder to clear than most fungal skin infections because nails grow slowly.
Many cases are never formally diagnosed or confirmed. A CDC-led analysis of 21.3 million U.S. outpatients found that 1.6 percent had a recorded onychomycosis diagnosis in 2018, lower than earlier estimates.[2] The authors also reported low adherence to American Academy of Dermatology guidance on confirming the diagnosis with testing before treatment.
A recent global review of 219 studies found higher rates among people with metabolic disorders such as diabetes and among people who regularly wear closed, occlusive footwear.[3]
Why Diagnosis Comes First
Nail fungus is the most common nail disorder dermatologists treat, but other conditions can look similar. The American Academy of Dermatology notes that nail psoriasis and nail injury are among the conditions that can be mistaken for fungus.[4] Treating something that is not fungal as if it were may not help and can delay the right care.
Dermatologists also advise prompt evaluation for anyone with diabetes, poor circulation or a weakened immune system, because nail and foot problems can carry greater risk for these groups.[5]
“If a nail changes color, thickens or starts lifting, the most useful first step is an exam,” Klipp said. “That’s especially true for anyone with diabetes or circulation problems. A product like ours is a daily nail-care step, not a substitute for that visit.”
The Foundations Still Come First
Everyday foot care remains the starting point: washing and fully drying the feet, especially between the toes; keeping nails trimmed short and straight; changing damp socks; wearing sandals in shared showers and pool areas; and not sharing nail clippers or files. Athlete’s foot on the surrounding skin is worth treating, since it can spread to the nails.
Even after a nail problem clears, the AAD notes that a nail may keep its discolored look until the affected portion grows out, and that nail fungus can return.[4] Toenails grow slowly, so visible change takes months, not weeks.
Format and Directions
Kerafirm Pro is a liquid supplied in a bottle with a built-in brush applicator. The company’s directions call for application four times daily, twice in the morning and twice in the afternoon:
- Wash the feet and dry them completely, including between the toes.
- Use the enclosed brush applicator to coat the nail.
- Use a cotton swab to work the solution into the cuticle.
- Let it absorb, and avoid washing the area right afterward.
Each bottle contains 30 mL, a 30-day supply at the directed use. Consumers should follow the directions printed on the product label.
Ingredients
The company lists 13 ingredients: clove bud oil, lavender oil, manuka oil, tea tree oil, camphor oil, menthol, undecylenic acid, flaxseed oil, sweet almond oil, walnut oil, chia seed oil, aloe vera and vitamin E. Concentrations are shown on the product label at kerafirmpro.com.
The flaxseed, sweet almond, walnut and chia seed oils, along with aloe vera and vitamin E, are common moisturizing and conditioning ingredients. Clove, lavender, tea tree, manuka and camphor oils and menthol add scent and a cooling feel. Undecylenic acid is a fatty acid found in many foot-care products.
The company states that the complete Kerafirm Pro formula has not been tested in a clinical trial.
What a Topical Nail-Care Product Can and Cannot Do
Kerafirm Pro is designed for cosmetic nail and skin care, and is not a substitute for professional medical diagnosis or treatment. Confirmed fungal nail infections are usually managed by a dermatologist or podiatrist, sometimes with prescription medication.
Manufacturing and Quality
The company states that Kerafirm Pro is made in the United States at a facility that follows Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards for production, packaging and quality control. GMP addresses how a product is made; it does not mean the FDA has approved the product or evaluated whether it works.
Safety Information
Kerafirm Pro is for external use only. Camphor, tea tree oil and other essential oils can be harmful if swallowed, so the bottle should be kept away from children and pets. Essential oils, menthol and camphor can irritate sensitive skin; the company recommends testing a small area first and not applying the product to broken or inflamed skin.
The formula contains sweet almond oil and walnut oil, so people with tree nut allergies should check with a doctor before use. Anyone who is pregnant, nursing, under 18, has diabetes or poor circulation, or is managing another medical condition should consult a healthcare professional first. Stop use and contact a provider if redness, burning or swelling develops.
