Sore nails, hands drying out, and a care pack you're guessing at.
A fragrance-free comfort pack for chemo weeks, planned to refill each treatment cycle. For the people going through it, and the friends and family who want to help.
We've worked out what we'd make. We'll make it if enough people want it.
Goal: 200 backers to start production

What we keep hearing
The same problems, over and over.
- Nails that get sore and start to lift
- Hands and feet that crack and dry out
- Piecing together a balm, a cream and a gentle mouthwash from three different shops
- Friends asking “what should I actually bring?” and nobody being sure
“How to ease the pain of chemo nails?”

Why the usual fixes fall short
Close, but not quite.
- Most options are single products, so people still build the kit themselves
- The few ready-made kits we found were either single items or expensive bundles
- None we found is timed to each treatment cycle
What we're working on
Cycle Care Pack
A comfort pack built around a treatment cycle: a nail balm, a rich urea hand and foot cream, an alcohol-free and SLS-free mouth rinse, and soft cotton gloves and socks. A gift version for supporters, and a refill each cycle for the person going through it.
Expected around US$39 per cycle pack. Founding backers pay less.
What you'd get
- A gift-ready box with a nail balm, a rich hand and foot cream, a gentle mouth rinse, and cotton gloves and socks
- Use the balm and cream every day. The gloves and socks help them soak in overnight
- A refill we plan to send each treatment cycle, so nobody has to shop for it
- Fragrance-free throughout, with the full ingredient list on the box
Cycle Care Pack is a working name. The details may change as we develop it, and we'll only make it if enough people back it.
Our standards for it
- Fragrance-free, with a short, readable ingredient list
- We plan to work with a certified manufacturer, and we'll share details before launch
- Tested for safety and stability before anything ships
- Honest labels: comfort care only, no claims we can't back up
- Comfort and moisture only. It won't prevent or treat side effects, and it doesn't replace advice from the care team

Questions
Before you back it.
Am I charged anything?
No. Backing an idea is free, and we never ask for card details on this page. If it goes ahead, it's up to you whether you buy.
When would it ship?
Only if we reach 200 backers. If we do, we'll email backers with timing before anything goes on sale. If we don't, we won't make it.
Where will it be made?
By a certified manufacturer. We'll share who makes it, and where, before launch.
Can I change my mind?
Yes. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and backing doesn't commit you to buying anything.
Why back it now?
Founding backers get first access at the lowest price we'll offer, and your answers help decide what goes in it and what it costs.
