Paws & Claws Soothing All-Natural Pet Balm
2 oz.
Ingredients: Coconut oil, castor oil, beeswax, comfrey, plantain
This balm is purr-fect for pets of all shapes and sizes! Unscented and ultra-soothing, this balm employs silky castor and coconut oils as a base. It's a relieving treat for small pad burns, scrapes, insect bites, and minor skin irritations.
What's the secret? Our coconut oil is infused with wild-foraged comfrey and plantain leaf.
Comfrey is king when it comes to skin health.
Known scientifically as Symphytum officinale L., and in herbal communities as “knit bone,” this plant has been used for centuries to treat bruises, muscle and joint pain, strains, sprains, twists, arthritis and osteoarthritis, burns, bites, and broken bones.
Its miraculous abilities are (at least in part) due to the high concentration of allantoin in the roots and leaves.
Allantoin is a regenerative compound that stimulates the production of new cells, speeding up the healing process.
Comfrey also contains additional compounds that give it even more awesome medicinal properties, including:
• Anti-Inflammatory
• Analgesic
• Antioxidative
If comfrey is king, plantain is prince.
A common backyard “weed”, plantain is a stubby little plant with a whole lot of love to give. There are over 250 varieties of plantain species that we know about, and it has more applications than Gen Z’s smartphone.
Aside from being a delicious and vitamin-packed edible, plantain is a powerful anti-inflammatory agent that speeds up wound healing and offers antimicrobial protection from cuts, scrapes, and burns.
It’s a topical analgesic that brings down swelling and discomfort, disinfecting and healing at the same time.
Plantain is a hydrating and soothing plant, promoting healthy, nourished skin and reducing symptoms of psoriasis, eczema, and acne.
