Self-care is for everyone, and CVS Pharmacy® is making sure of that with their expanded one+other® collection. Recognizing that traditional nail care tools can be challenging for some, especially individuals with mobility or dexterity issues, CVS has launched the Universal Tools collection. This new line is designed with inclusivity in mind, ensuring that everyone can confidently maintain their nail health and personal grooming. You can now find these accessible nail care kit tools at your local drugstores, making self-care more convenient and attainable for all.
CVS Pharmacy’s commitment to inclusive self-care started with the introduction of the one+other brand in January 2023. This beauty and personal care line was created with the core mission of making self-care products accessible to everyone, regardless of their abilities or budget. Building upon this foundation, the Universal Tools collection directly addresses the needs of the disability community, ensuring representation and practical solutions within the self-care aisle of drugstores.

A recent survey highlighted the very real challenges faced by many. 62% of people with mobility or dexterity challenges reported difficulty using standard nail clippers and tweezers. This insight directly fueled the development of the Universal Tools collection. By collaborating with members of the disability community and incorporating lived experiences into the design process, CVS Pharmacy has created a truly user-centric line of nail care tools.
The Universal Tools collection features six essential items for a comprehensive nail care routine:
- Rounded Tip Scissors ($14.99): Designed for safety and ease of use, these scissors are perfect for trimming nails with precision and comfort.
- Nail Nipper + Catcher ($16.99): Combining cutting power with a convenient catcher, this tool minimizes mess and provides greater control for trimming thicker nails.
- Slant Tweezer ($9.99): These tweezers offer a secure grip and slanted tip for precise tweezing, making brow shaping and splinter removal easier.
- Half Jaw Cuticle Nipper ($16.99): Designed for gentle and effective cuticle care, the half-jaw design allows for targeted trimming without damaging delicate skin.
- Nail Clipper + Catcher ($9.99): Similar to the nail nipper, this clipper includes a catcher to keep clippings contained, promoting hygiene and ease of cleanup during nail care routines.
- Pumice Stone ($6.49): This tool helps to gently exfoliate and smooth rough skin on feet and hands, completing a full nail and hand care regimen.

What sets these tools apart is their thoughtful, inclusive design. Each tool incorporates features like wide, open handles and non-slip, easy-to-grip silicone patterns. These textured grips are not only functional but also uniquely designed to allow for easy differentiation between tools by touch alone – a crucial feature for individuals with visual impairments. This attention to detail underscores CVS Pharmacy’s commitment to making self-care, including nail care, genuinely accessible through readily available drugstore options.
“Standing for inclusivity and diversity means ensuring our products and services reflect these values,” states Andrea Harrison, Vice President of Merchandising for Beauty & Personal Care at CVS Health. “The Universal Tools collection is a direct result of our ongoing commitment to offer inclusive self-care solutions for every consumer.”
The Universal Tools collection is now available both online at CVS.com and in CVS Pharmacy locations across the nation. This expansion complements the existing one+other brand, which already features over 200 self-care essentials, from cotton balls and nail polish remover to body wash and hair accessories. By adding accessible nail care kit tools to their drugstore shelves, CVS Pharmacy continues to broaden its reach and impact in the realm of inclusive personal care.
Beyond nail care, CVS Health is actively innovating across various categories to enhance accessibility. This includes the expansion of the CVS Health by Michael Graves Design collection, offering mobility, bath safety, and home health care products. Furthermore, the introduction of Spoken Rx™ audible prescription labels in 2021 demonstrated CVS’s dedication to making healthcare and self-care more navigable for individuals with diverse needs.
