Why Did We Develop Sweetmouth’eol?

The oral health of horses is often overlooked, yet small issues can lead to larger problems.

Cracks and wounds may form at the corners of the lips. These injuries can be challenging to treat due to constant movement and exposure to saliva, which may sometimes be acidic. Additionally, worn or damaged tack materials can exacerbate these issues.

Sweetmouth’eol nourishes the skin naturally and effectively, preserving its elasticity and encouraging rapid healing.

Why Is Sweetmouth’eol Effective?

The synergy of its components makes this balm highly effective:

• Shea Butter: Provides anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. It repairs, soothes, nourishes, and supports the healing of cracked, dry, or irritated skin.
• Beeswax: Combined with shea butter, beeswax accelerates healing, forming a protective film over the skin to lock in moisture and shield against external irritants.
• Olive Oil: Known for its strong repairing and hydrating properties, it also prevents bacterial growth, which is crucial for treating minor wounds.
• Sunflower Seed Oil: Rich in linoleic acid (omega-6 fatty acid), it maintains optimal skin hydration.
• Wheat Germ Oil: Enhances skin elasticity and provides a pleasant texture for daily use.
• Petitgrain Bigarade Essential Oil: Adds a unique, fresh, woody fragrance and offers calming and soothing benefits.
• Cistus Ladanifer Essential Oil: Promotes effective wound healing and inhibits the growth of viruses and fungi.

Benefits of Sweetmouth’eol

• Rapid Healing: Quickly restores dry, cracked areas around the mouth.
• Bit Acceptance: Soothes and hydrates the lips, improving comfort when using a bit.
• Protection: Forms a barrier against external irritants and acidic saliva while locking in hydration.

Tip: If your horse shows resistance to accepting the bit, it could indicate an underlying oral health issue.

Watch for signs such as:

• Refusal or reluctance to take the bit.
• Difficulty eating or chewing hay or feed.
• Tilting the head to one side.
• Bad breath.

These signs suggest discomfort that should not be ignored.
