They differ in composition:

Each type of oil affects the skin in its own way. A complex cuticle care product with jojoba oil is used to treat cracked cuticles and relieves inflammation, with a composition very similar to natural wax. Apricot oil nourishes and moisturizes the skin, relieves redness and treats skin inflammation, stimulates the production of elastin and collagen, accelerates the regeneration of dead skin layers, tones and prevents peeling. Burdock - gives shine, almond - improves the appearance of the skin and nail bed, also softening the roughened layers of the skin. Grape seed oil is widely used in medicine - it increases immunity and strengthens the walls of blood vessels, and the wheat germ product softens the cuticle for its subsequent removal.
These oils can be used either individually or mixed in a 1:1 ratio. Also, for effectiveness, it is better to use warm oils.
The best nail care products are natural, they do not contain harmful components and only have a positive effect on the body, so when choosing the right product, do not be lazy to read the composition and be interested in the effect of various components on the nail plate.
Special oils painlessly remove the top layer of skin and remove excess epidermis, but depending on the effectiveness and composition, can sometimes harm the nail, weaken it or damage the surface layer.
