The nail matrix, located beneath the cuticle, produces new cells that harden and form the nail as they push older cells forward. The lunula is the white, crescent-shaped area at the base of the nail but does not itself generate nail growth.

What causes lunula?
Below your nail there is a nail matrix. Below the nail matrix there are blood vessels. Where your lunula is, the nail matrix is thicker. This means that you cannot see the blood as well, causing that part of your nail to look pale. The Lunula is often referred to as "moons". The lunula is in fact the front end of the matrix. The whitish half moons are keratin cells that have not yet been completely flattened and still have some of their content. Not everyone has visible lunula's The lunula is normally more prominent on the thumbs. The shape of the lunula determines the shape of the free edge/distal edge.
