Wound Wax – Natural Barrier Salve
Wound Wax is a natural, topical barrier salve for horses and dogs, made with a gentle beeswax and honey base. 

• This product was made by a licensed horse doctor.
• It is made in Western Australia.
• It is easy to use.
• It is water resistant.
• It is gentle on the skin.

When applied, it creates a soft layer over the area. This layer helps protect against dirt, mud, dust, and moisture. It also lets the skin breathe. Keeping normal wound fluids on the skin can help the body heal naturally. This method does not create a heavy or greasy layer. Wound Wax has a light lavender scent. It spreads easily and feels non-greasy. You can use it regularly in your daily skin care routine for horses and dogs.

Why choose Wound Wax?
    Protective barrier support – Creates a breathable coating that keeps dust, dirt, and outside contaminants away. This is especially helpful for animals in paddocks, yards, or arenas.
• Helps keep moisture balance – Helps lock in the skin’s natural moisture. This reduces dryness, flaking, and cracking. It avoids a complete seal so the area can still “breathe.”
• Naturally water resistant – The beeswax base provides natural water resistance. This helps the salve stay in place longer in damp conditions. It works well in dewy paddocks, light rain, or when horses and dogs are around mud or splashes.
• Gentle, all-natural formula – Made from natural ingredients that are soft on the skin. It is safe for repeated use as needed.

• Daily support – This product is useful for small skin problems, rub spots, and areas that need extra protection.
• It is ideal for use during turnout, exercise, or work.

Key ingredients
Beeswax (naturally water resistant)
Beeswax helps create a smooth, semi-occlusive barrier over the skin. This barrier is naturally water resistant, helping to repel moisture and debris while still allowing some airflow. Wound Wax can stay on your horse or dog's coat and skin for a longer time. This is true even when they are outside in wet or dirty conditions.
Honey
Honey contributes to the salve’s soft texture and supports a moist, balanced environment at the skin’s surface. A moist (not wet) environment is often better for normal skin repair. Honey helps keep the area from getting too dry or cracked.
Coconut oil
Coconut oil provides nourishing moisture to support skin and coat condition. It helps the salve glide on easily, reduces drag on clipped or sensitive skin, and contributes to a soft, conditioned feel once applied.
Light lavender scent
The subtle lavender fragrance makes the product pleasant to use without being overpowering. It has a light scent instead of a strong perfume. This is important for animals that may be sensitive to strong smells.

Directions for use

1. Prepare the area – Gently remove any loose crusts, dirt, or debris from the affected area. You can carefully clip or part the hair if needed so the salve can reach the skin more easily.

2. Ensure the area is dry – Pat the area dry if it is damp. Wound Wax is designed to be used on clean, dry skin or cleaned wounds so the barrier can adhere properly.

3. Apply Wound Wax – Use clean, dry hands or a clean applicator. Spread a thin, even layer of Wound Wax over and around the area you want to protect. Avoid excessive rubbing; instead, smooth it gently onto the surface.

4. Repeat as required – Reapply as needed, particularly after heavy exposure to water, mud, or abrasion, or as directed by your veterinarian. Frequency of application will depend on the location, the environment, and how active the animal is.

Storage & precautions
• Discontinue use if irritation occurs – If you notice redness, increased sensitivity, or any signs of irritation, stop using Wound Wax and seek veterinary advice.

• Talk to your vet for serious issues.
• If you have deep, dirty, or non-healing wounds, consult your veterinarian.
• If you're unsure about this product, ask your vet before using it.

• Storage conditions – Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. High temperatures can soften the beeswax blend, while very cold conditions may make it firmer; this is normal for natural wax-based products.
• Keep container closed – Replace the lid firmly after each use to protect the salve from dust, hair, and other contaminants and to help maintain product quality.
• For external animal use only – Do not ingest, and avoid contact with eyes. Keep out of reach of children and pets when not in use.

Practical usage tips
• Apply with clean hands or a clean spatula to maintain hygiene in the container.
• For horses, Wound Wax can be especially useful on areas prone to rubbing from tack, rugs, or boots, as a light protective barrier.
• For dogs, it may be used on exposed skin areas that need extra protection from environmental irritants, as advised by your vet.
• Regular gentle cleaning of the area before reapplication helps prevent build-up of dirt under the barrier layer.

Wound Wax is designed to fit easily into your regular care routine for horses and dogs, offering a simple, natural way to provide barrier support and help protect vulnerable areas from everyday environmental challenges.
