Smith & Burton Heal & Protect Soothe Balm 65gm

New Zealand's answer to a first-aid tin. Heal & Protect Soothe Balm is Smith & Burton's 100% natural balm, packed with powerful natural ingredients for dry paws, cracked paws, sore paw pads, cracked noses, rough elbows, hot spots, calluses and all the little scrapes life throws at your furry friends.

It's built around Manuka honey, NZ's own liquid gold, plus Manuka oil, beeswax, shea butter, coconut oil, sweet almond oil, jojoba, linseed and cocoa butter. Manuka brings natural antibacterial properties and draws moisture into the skin as a humectant; jojoba and vitamin E help smooth the epidermis; coconut oil keeps everything soft, hydrated and conditioned; beeswax seals it all in with a protective layer over paw pads and other problem areas. No parabens, no SLS, no phthalates, no mineral oils, no synthetic fragrance — just ingredients doing their job.

Massage it into affected areas as often as needed. It deeply hydrates, creates a protective barrier against everyday terrain and the elements, and helps support healing of cuts, abrasions and minor scars — including post-surgery. It's lick safe, cat-friendly, and gentle enough for human hands too, which is handy when you're the one applying it three times a day.

Why owners reach for it: one balm covers paw pads, nose, elbows, calluses, hot spots, dry rashes, skin-fold irritation and post-op scars — no need for a shelf full of separate products.

Why dogs (and cats) put up with it: it absorbs fast, doesn't sting, and won't hurt them if they can't resist a lick.
