"Your skin is very...bouncy!"
One of Cape Cod Nail Co.'s core values is standing behind our products. You’ll never see us sell something we don’t already use and love ourselves.
Our Vitamin Sea Lotion wasn’t a big launch or planned retail move — we just genuinely love it. It’s hard to find a lotion that’s lightweight, non-greasy, unscented, packed with quality ingredients, and still economical. But when faced with a challenge, Cape Cod Nail Co. always accepts! We found one that checks all the boxes.
We’ve been using our Vitamin Sea lotion in all our services at the salon for a few years now. Clients started asking what it was. And then they started asking if they could buy it. So... here we are!
If client feedback wasn’t enough, we got a doctor’s approval this summer. Long story short — our fearless founder (yours truly!) sliced her thumb while making scrub for the team and ended up in the Falmouth ER with nine stitches.
It's 11:30 p.m., mid-stitch #4 out of 9, when the doctor goes,
“Can I ask you a really weird question?”
I looked at him and then my partner, who was sitting with me holding my other hand with a "what the...?" look on my face 😅.
“Uh… yeah, sure?”
“Do you use collagen cream or treatment on your hands?”
“No! Haha, I don't think so, why?!”
“Your skin is very… bouncy.”
“Wait — is that good or bad?”
“It’s good! You have very healthy, hydrated skin! It's going to heal up nicely for you."
I didn’t think much about it in the moment (I was too busy trying not to cry and wondering how we were going to make our flight in eight hours). It hit me later — Vitamin Sea lotion! I use our lotion every single day. The ultimate compliment. Not out of vanity, but because it was doctor-approved proof that our products work.
Formulated with Vitamin C, it helps brighten skin and supports recovery from sun exposure — something Cape Cod hands know a thing or two about. Add in aloe, green tea, shea butter, and jojoba oil, and you’ve got calm, smooth, healthy, (and yes, bouncy!) skin without the heavy feel.
And because we’re all about the details, the artwork on the label was created by local artist Stephanie Swanson, whose whimsical style perfectly matches our vibe. We wanted a bottle that looked as good as it felt — one you’d actually want sitting out on your bathroom counter.
We call it Vitamin Sea, because although we do love a good pun, honestly, that’s what it feels like — a little everyday nourishment for skin that’s been around salt, sun, and everything in between.
