The "Skin"ny on Sea Buckthorn Pet Balm

Ah, summertime. The weather has warmed up nicely and you’re bound to be spending more time outdoors with your furry friends. Many families take advantage of the weather and take their dogs to the lake, fishing, or on camping trips. Wherever you may go this summer, it’s a good idea to take Seabuck7 Skin Relief Stick with you.  Why?  It is compact, lightweight and useful in case your pup needs some quick relief. 

What is Seabuck7 Skin Relief Stick?

The Skin Relief Stick was designed to be used on a variety of skin conditions or excessively dry areas. It is exceptionally useful in soothing inflamed skin. Its ingredient list is a gold mine of nutrient-boosting components that are well-known for soothing, protecting and nourishing skin. 

Skin Relief Stick contains:

• Coconut Oil
• Beeswax
• Wild Crafted Himalayan Sea Buckthorn Oil
• Sunflower Seed Oil
• Cocoa Seed Butter
• Shea Butter

What is it used for?

Skin Relief Stick was designed to be used on irritated, inflamed or dry skin.  If you spend a lot of time outside with your dog this summer, his or her paw pads may become rough and dry, especially if exposed to hot asphalt or sand. SeaBuck 7 Skin Relief Stick can be used after you clean and dry your dog’s paws – locking moisture into the pads. This is an excellent addition to your dog’s routine grooming.  Many veterinarians recommend bathing your dog every 7-10 days and use of fragrance-free, moisturizing conditioners. Moisturized paw pads are less likely to crack and get infected. If you live in an area with lots of snow and ice during the winter, Skin Relief Stick can be used as a protective barrier and moisturizer on the paw pads. 

If your dog is out on the trail with you camping, small cuts, abrasions and bug bites are bound to happen. A little of the Skin Relief Stick will help relieve discomfort and may help speed the healing process. 

Power of sea buckthorn berry, the all-natural “active ingredient”

Don’t rely on old, opened tubes of Neosporin or Triple Antibiotic Cream any longer. These creams contain antibiotics and antifungals that are not beneficial for the healing of minor scrapes and hot spots in animals.  Also, in the age of microbial resistance to antibiotics, use of these ointments is not always responsible. Old, open containers can also mean that the active ingredients are no longer active.

Sea buckthorn berry contains a myriad of active ingredients, including antioxidants and omegas 3 and 7. Omega fatty acids are well known for improving the skin’s health.  Studies have also shown that sea buckthorn oils have antibacterial and antifungal properties, which help to prevent infection from setting in. 

If your dog suffers from time to time from “hot spots” – which often precipitate from a flea or environmental allergy – the Skin Relief Stick can aid in the healing process. Early intervention when your dog first develops a small hot spot can mean all the difference. If you notice that your dog is developing a hot spot, keep the area clean and free of air. If your pet is exceptionally uncomfortable, seek veterinary attention.  Skin Relief Stick is not recommended for use on open wounds or infected hot spots. Talk to your veterinarian before use, as products like Skin Relief Stick can be useful as a part of your dog’s treatment plan. Stay safe this summer and remember to be prepared!
