The third in the trifecta of the SMART oil family, Brilliant balm takes a traditional balm recipe (which we used in our Lizzy T's Paw Potion) and boosted it by adding Smart Oil. Useful year round on dry cracked pads and noses. Provides protection in the winter against cold, snow and ice. Provides a gentle moisture barrier when absorbed, helping to prevent moisture loss and therefore conditioning the area.
(Also found useful as a gardeners hand balm!)
Ingredients; Coconut Oil, Beeswax, Shea Butter, Hemp Seed Oil, Colloidal Silver, Vitamin E, Copaiba Oil, Sangre De Drago (AKA Croton/Dragon's Blood).
Directions; Apply to paw pads before going out in the snow/ice or on salted roads to help protect. Alternatively, apply to clean paws after bathing for moisturising. Helps with Hyperkeratosis. Use daily on dry noses.
Hyperkeratosis is a thickening of the skin which can occur in cats and dogs on their paws or nose. Hyperkeratosis occurs when too much keratin, or the fibrous proteins that comprise the outer layer of skin, is overproduced. This leads to excessive skin, which becomes hard, thickened, dried out, and callous-like. It can also appear to look like "hairy" pads or noses and can be painful. The combining of our Smart Oil into a regular balm base can help with the pain and inflammation and give your pet comfort, which we think is, well, BRILLIANT!
