—Of course we can’t forget about the animals! The cold and dry air can also be harsh on our pets as well as to us. This balm is great for cracked and dried paws, as well as their noses and elbows! You can apply it directly to your pets paws or nose to help with cracked and irritated skin. Our balm will help moisturize, sooth, and protect from the harsh outside elements. It is solid at room temperature, but can be easily applied to your furry friend's paws, especially if you rub it between your fingers first. To keep it hard and fresh I do recommend storing in your fridge or freezer.
