Dog & Puppy Edible Nourishing & Protective Paw Balm

Shea butter, extracted from the nuts of the African shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa), is a powerful natural ingredient known for its intense moisturising, anti-inflammatory, and healing properties, which help to improve skin texture and elasticity. Its rich, creamy texture is especially effective for softening rough or dry areas, such as elbows, knees, and heels. Reviewers often praise products for their ability to keep skin moisturized throughout the day. Triterpenes, naturally occurring chemical compounds in shea butter, are thought to deactivate collagen fiber destruction and may help boost collagen production.

Grapefruit extract and oil are powerful skincare multitaskers that provide brightening, exfoliating, and anti-ageing benefits, primarily due to their high concentration of Vitamin C and natural alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs). Vitamin C stimulates collagen production, which can help firm the skin and soften the appearance of lines, wrinkles and cellulitis. Grapefruit's antiseptic and antimicrobial properties (particularly from the peel oil) help balance sebum production and reduce skin inflammation risks.

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) provides numerous skin benefits, most notably potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties that help protect the skin from damage, soothe irritation, and promote healing and regeneration. Rosemary is rich in potent antioxidants like rosmarinic acid, carnosic acid, and carnosol, which help neutralize damaging free radicals caused by UV exposure, pollution, and everyday stress. The anti-inflammatory properties of rosemary can significantly reduce redness, puffiness, and irritation associated with conditions such as acne, eczema, and rosacea.
