I'm guessing the package doesn't say "For female nails" or "for female skin". You're just assuming they're for women because a) they're in the makeup section usually (which makes sense, because makeup and face care are the same place, nail polish and nail care are the same place) and b) there's probably a picture of a woman on there.
But if you saw a cookbook with a woman on the front, you wouldn't say "I bought a womens' cookbook".
Lady-packaged hair dye isn't "for" women either, even though there are separate Man Hair Dye kits. They're just in bigger packages because most women have longer hair than men smile
Marketing to the group of customers that makes 99% of your sales isn't really sexism at work. Assuming a product is only for women is, so it's the people passing them by or saying they're for women that are displaying a form of sexism, albeit a fairly benign form.

But Im wondering in general if its labeled for women, because of like, hormonal reasons.

Well men and women have slightly different needs in terms of vitamins and nutrients and their proportions, but it's not really significant. It should have a list of active ingredients you could do research on, but I doubt it would do any harm.
