No. 340 — The Clear‑Point Keratin Study

The Archive’s Decisive Extremity‑Care Intervention

Overview

No. 340 — The Clear‑Point Keratin Study is the Archive’s intensive surface support ointment, engineered for extremities that experience persistent congestion, environmental stress, and structural imbalance. Positioned within the Remedy Shelf’s high‑duty intervention wing, this preparation represents a focused investigation into botanical purification, keratin resilience, and long‑contact extremity support. It is designed for individuals who require a decisive, professional‑grade response to stubborn surface environments that do not resolve with lighter preparations.

Extremities are uniquely demanding terrain. Daily life exposes feet and hands to dampness, friction, footwear pressure, and communal surfaces — all of which can contribute to surface stagnation and imbalance. Nail beds, cuticles, and surrounding skin often become the first areas to show signs of environmental stress. No. 340 was engineered specifically for these conditions, offering a botanical system that remains in contact with the skin for extended periods while maintaining a breathable, matte‑set finish that integrates seamlessly into movement, footwear, and routine.

The study begins with a high‑penetration lipid matrix of Sunflower and Coconut oils. These oils were selected for their ability to move through dense keratin structures and support clear, balanced environments on the extremities. Coconut Oil contributes natural lauric acid, which acts as a botanical vehicle for the clarifying resins of Oregano and Cinnamon Leaf. This vehicle system helps these aromatics remain in contact with the targeted area, supporting the appearance of clear nail beds and resilient surrounding skin.

A Stearic matrix combined with Arrowroot creates the velvet‑matte finish that defines this study. Extremity care must integrate seamlessly into daily life — socks, footwear, gloves, and movement. The matte‑set finish allows immediate dressing without slip, ensuring the preparation stays in place and continues its long‑contact work throughout the day. This finish is intentional: it transforms a heavy‑duty ointment into a practical, daily‑use tool that supports structural recalibration without disrupting routine.

The aromatic profile is sharp, warm, and herbaceous — a medicinal bloom that signals purification and balance. Oregano and Cinnamon Leaf provide the clarifying backbone, while Lavender and Tea Tree contribute supportive clarity. The scent is purposeful, grounded, and unmistakably part of the Archive’s extremity‑care lineage. It communicates intention: a return to balance, cleanliness, and structural steadiness.

Presented in a 2 oz matte black tin, No. 340 is positioned as a “Complete Cycle” supply for a 60‑day structural recalibration. Extremity environments require consistency, and this preparation is engineered to support daily use without interruption. The tin’s low‑profile design makes it ideal for gym bags, work trucks, travel kits, and bedside routines, ensuring the study remains accessible wherever extremity care is needed.

What It Does

No. 340 supports the appearance of clear nail beds, balanced surrounding skin, and keratin resilience. The botanical vehicle system encourages long‑contact purification, while the matte‑set finish integrates seamlessly into daily extremity environments.

The Sensory Experience

A firm, professional‑grade ointment that melts with massage and sets to a velvet‑matte finish. The dry‑touch seal is ideal for use under socks, footwear, or gloves, ensuring the preparation stays in place without slip.

The Scent

Sharp / Warm / Herbaceous A spicy, medicinal bloom that signals a return to balance.

Ritual — How to Use It

Apply a small amount to the nail bed and surrounding skin twice daily. Massage thoroughly into the cuticle and under the nail edge. Consistency is the primary catalyst for results in this study.

Who It’s For

Individuals seeking intensive extremity support for areas affected by dampness, footwear pressure, or communal environments.
