Nail biting is not always a choice you calmly decide to make.

Sometimes it happens while you are driving, reading, watching a show, working at your desk, scrolling your phone, stressed, bored, concentrating, or trying to self-soothe. By the time you notice, the nail is already shorter, the cuticle is already sore, or the rough edge is already worse.

Bite Free™ was created for those automatic hand-to-mouth moments.

It gives you a simple sensory interruption while also caring for the dry nails and cuticles that often get caught in the biting and picking cycle.

No shame. No perfect streak required. Just a tool to help you notice sooner and try again.

Bite Free™ is a Simply Pure™ Nail & Cuticle Oil Pen made with Bitrex®, a bitter ingredient that helps discourage nail biting, cuticle biting, and putting fingers in your mouth.

It combines two kinds of support in one easy pen:

1. Bitter habit interruption

If your fingers reach your mouth, the bitter taste helps interrupt the automatic behavior.

2. Nail and cuticle conditioning

The Simply Pure™ base helps soften dry cuticles, rough skin, and damaged-looking areas around the nail so your hands feel easier to leave alone.

How to Use Bite Free™

Bite Free™ works best when it becomes part of your daily routine.

1. Shake the pen well before every use. This mixes the bitter ingredient evenly into the conditioning oil.
2. Click the pen 1–2 times until oil reaches the brush.
3. Brush a thin layer onto each nail and the surrounding cuticle.
4. Massage the oil into your nails and skin.
5. Reapply throughout the day, especially after washing your hands or whenever you notice the urge to bite.

If you don't notice the bitter taste the first time your fingers reach your mouth, shake the pen again and reapply.

The goal isn't to punish you. It's to create a clear "stop" signal that helps interrupt the habit while caring for your nails and cuticles.

What to Expect

There isn't a magic day when nail biting suddenly disappears.

Like any habit, nail biting changes through repetition.

Some people notice fewer biting episodes within the first few days. Others need several weeks to build new patterns. Both are normal.

Every time the bitter taste helps you notice the habit, you've created an opportunity to make a different choice.

Don't focus on perfection.

Focus on noticing sooner, biting less often, and celebrating small wins.

Those small wins become lasting habits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Bite Free™ a nail polish?

No. Bite Free™ is an oil-based nail and cuticle treatment. It absorbs into your nails and surrounding skin instead of leaving behind a hard coating.

Will it make my nails grow faster?

No product can change how fast your nails naturally grow. Bite Free™ helps support healthier-looking nails and cuticles while helping discourage nail biting, giving your nails a chance to grow without being repeatedly damaged.

Can children use Bite Free™?

Bite Free™ is suitable for ages 6 and older with adult supervision.

Because the bitter taste is intentionally strong, some children may have a stronger gag response than others. If the taste is too intense, discontinue use and consider Simply Pure™ Nail & Cuticle Oil as a gentle nail care alternative.

What if I bite the skin around my nails instead of the nail itself?

Many people bite both their nails and the surrounding skin. Apply Bite Free™ to your nails and use Simply Pure™ Nail & Cuticle Oil liberally around the surrounding skin to help keep it moisturized and comfortable.

Does it have a fragrance?

No. Bite Free™ is odorless and discreet, making it easy to use throughout the day at home, work, or school.
