Understanding Skin Health in Dogs
Your dog’s skin is the first line of defense against environmental factors such as allergens, bacteria, and fungi. When skin integrity is compromised due to wounds, scratches, or infections, it can lead to further issues such as inflammation, irritation, and even secondary infections. Healing and maintaining your dog’s skin requires more than just symptom relief—it needs nourishment, protection, and support for the body’s natural healing processes. Mountain Salve provides a holistic approach to skin healing, using nature’s most powerful ingredients to restore your dog’s skin to its healthy, protective state.
Ingredients for Skin Healing
Plantain is a time-tested herb with impressive skin-healing properties. Rich in allantoin, it helps speed up tissue regeneration and reduce inflammation, making it ideal for healing minor wounds, insect bites, and rashes. Plantain also has antibacterial properties, which help protect damaged skin from infections while promoting faster recovery.
Goldenseal is a potent antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory herb, traditionally used to treat skin infections and inflammation. The active compound, berberine, fights bacteria and fungi on the skin, helping to prevent infections in open wounds and damaged skin. By controlling infection, Goldenseal plays a vital role in promoting clean, healthy skin while reducing irritation and redness.
Oregon Grape Root contains berberine as well, making it another powerful antimicrobial agent. It helps treat skin issues like hot spots, eczema, and minor bacterial or fungal infections by reducing microbial growth and inflammation. This herb is also known for its ability to soothe itching and discomfort, which can make a significant difference in dogs prone to skin irritation.
Chickweed is an incredibly soothing herb known for relieving itchy, irritated skin. It has been used traditionally to treat skin conditions such as rashes, eczema, and minor wounds. Chickweed’s cooling and anti-inflammatory properties make it a perfect choice for calming hot spots and other areas of inflamed or irritated skin, providing comfort and relief for your dog.
Usnea, a type of lichen, has potent antifungal and antibacterial properties, making it particularly effective for skin infections and irritations caused by microbes. It works by targeting harmful bacteria and fungi while leaving the beneficial skin flora intact, supporting overall skin health and healing.
Emu oil is known for its deep-penetrating properties, allowing the other ingredients in Mountain Salve to reach deeper layers of the skin for faster healing. Rich in essential fatty acids like omega-3 and omega-6, Emu oil nourishes the skin, reduces inflammation, and accelerates the repair of damaged tissues. It is especially beneficial for treating dry, cracked skin or areas with persistent inflammation.
Organic Cocoa Butter is a natural emollient, packed with antioxidants and essential fatty acids. It deeply hydrates and protects the skin, forming a barrier that helps lock in moisture and prevents further irritation. This makes it ideal for dogs suffering from dry, flaky skin, helping restore softness and elasticity to the skin.
Vitamin E is a well-known antioxidant that helps protect skin cells from oxidative stress and promotes skin healing. It supports the skin's repair processes, making it beneficial for wounds, scars, and damaged skin. By neutralizing free radicals and boosting cell regeneration, Vitamin E helps ensure that your dog's skin heals efficiently and without complications.
Organic Beeswax acts as a natural barrier, sealing in moisture while keeping out environmental irritants. It helps protect your dog’s skin from further damage while allowing the other healing ingredients to work effectively. Beeswax also has mild antibacterial properties, adding another layer of protection against infections in open wounds or irritated areas.
The Power of a Natural Base: Organic Sunflower, Olive, and Coconut Oils
The base of Mountain Salve consists of organic sunflower oil, olive oil, and coconut oil, all of which offer additional skin-healing benefits. Sunflower oil is rich in vitamins and essential fatty acids that help repair the skin barrier and prevent moisture loss. Olive oil is a natural antioxidant that promotes skin repair and reduces inflammation, while coconut oil provides antimicrobial protection and deep hydration to soothe and nourish the skin.
