Essential Line Winter Balsam was created to provide \u003cb\u003ecomprehensive protection and regeneration in harsh weather conditions.\u003c\/b\u003e The natural balm formula creates a delicate yet effective protective layer on the skin surface, helping prevent moisture loss and protecting against external factors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA wealth of natural nourishing ingredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe balm formula is based on \u003cb\u003ebeeswax and carnauba wax\u003c\/b\u003e, which create a protective film while allowing the skin to breathe. The addition of \u003cb\u003eevening primrose oil \u003c\/b\u003eaccelerates epidermis regeneration, \u003cb\u003eolive oil \u003c\/b\u003eintensively moisturises, and \u003cb\u003esweet almond oil\u003c\/b\u003e soothes irritation and nourishes the skin, restoring softness and elasticity. This composition ensures effective care even in the most demanding winter conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRegeneration and relief for cracked paw pads\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinter Balsam not only protects but also \u003cb\u003esupports the healing process\u003c\/b\u003e. Regular use strengthens the skin’s hydrolipid barrier and stimulates the natural renewal of epidermal cells. The balm brings immediate relief to sore, dry paws, reducing discomfort and burning sensations. As a result, your dog can enjoy comfort during walks even in low temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSafe and effective for daily use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe product is fully natural and free from artificial colourants and silicones, making it suitable also for dogs with sensitive skin. It does not leave a greasy film and absorbs quickly, so it can be used both before and after walks for regeneration. The balm has been tested in extreme weather conditions, confirming its protective effectiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFor urban and active dogs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinter Balsam is an ideal solution for dogs living in urban areas, exposed to pavement salt and pollution. It also works perfectly for active dogs – running on snow, ice or rough surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eYear-round care\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough created with winter in mind, Winter Balsam can also be used all year round - wherever paws need extra moisturising and protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy is surface protection essential in winter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDermatological studies show that in sub-zero temperatures, lipids, or fats, thicken and change their physical properties. Water present in skin microcracks may freeze and deepen damage, while effective protection should primarily be based on surface protection, not necessarily on deep absorption of ingredients. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStability and adhesion – how does a modern frost balm work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinter Protect Balsam has been designed as a protective shield against frost. It creates a surface film that limits paw pad contact with salt and water. Its ingredients have been selected so that in winter conditions they maintain appropriate viscosity and stability, do not melt, do not harden excessively and do not crumble while walking. This is exactly the type of action described in the literature as epidermal barrier protection in extreme conditions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTwo-step winter strategy: Protection and regeneration\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn winter, our paw balms are best used together: before a walk, use Winter Balsam, and after the walk use \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pokusa.pet\/products\/essential-line-regenerum-balm?_pos=3\u0026amp;_psq=regener\u0026amp;_ss=e\u0026amp;_v=1.0\"\u003eRegenerum Balsam\u003c\/a\u003e. Many of us, wanting to protect dog paw pads, think about using petroleum jelly or products intended for humans, but petroleum jelly is definitely not recommended for dog paw pads because it softens the skin instead of protecting it, making abrasions and cracks more likely. In addition, the dog may lick it off, which is not healthy, and with human products we must remember that our skin has a different pH than our pets’ skin and not all ingredients may be safe for them. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Essential Line","offers":[{"title":"50 ml","offer_id":56387386310987,"sku":"5905137254621","price":10.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/6751\/4443\/files\/2528.jpg?v=1769430942","url":"https:\/\/pokusa.pet\/products\/protective-balm-for-dog-paw-pads-winter-balm","provider":"pokusa.pet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
