Orange stick: An orange stick, also known as a cuticle stick or orange wood stick, is a
small, pointed tool used in nail care. It is typically made from orange wood or a similar
soft, smooth wood. Orange sticks are commonly used in manicures and pedicures for
various purposes.

Callus Remover: A callus remover is a device or product designed to soften, reduce, and remove calluses on the
skin, especially on the feet or hands. Calluses are thick, hard areas of skin that form due to friction or pressure.
Callus removers are used to improve the appearance and comfort of the skin by smoothing or exfoliating these
hardened areas. There are different types of callus removers, including manual tools and chemical or cream-
based products.
Some common types:

1 Manual Callus Remover Tool

• Foot files or pumice stones: These abrasive tools have a rough surface that
helps scrub away dead skin cells and calluses. Pumice stones are natural volcanic
rocks, while foot files may be made of metal or other materials.

• Metal callus rasps: These tools often have a metal surface with small holes or
grooves. These are used to gently cut away calluses.

• Electric callus remover: Battery-powered or rechargeable device equipped with
rotating abrasive rollers. These devices are designed to automatically remove
calluses and dead skin.

2 Chemical or cream-based callus removers

• Callus removal creams: These creams or gels usually contain active
ingredients, such as urea or salicylic acid, which help break down and soften
the hardened skin. The user applies the cream to the calloused area and
leaves it on for a specified time before gently exfoliating or washing off.

• Callus remover patches: These are adhesive patches containing callus-
dissolving ingredients. These are applied to the calloused area and over time
the callus softens.
