Product Information
Full details
The Smart Grooming Lip and Bit Balm is designed for horse owners seeking a versatile, natural solution to address equine skin dryness and improve bit acceptance. This dual-purpose balm provides immediate soothing relief for cracked or irritated skin while helping to soften the contact area between the horse's mouth and the bit. While highly effective for maintenance and comfort, users should perform a patch test on horses with known skin sensitivities before wide-scale application.

FAQs
Can this be used on other parts of the horse?
Yes, it is formulated for topical use and is safe to apply to any dry or irritated skin on the horse.
How often should I apply it to the bit?
Apply a thin layer before each ride for optimal comfort and softness.
Is the balm toxic if ingested?
The balm is formulated with natural ingredients intended for contact areas, but it should not be fed as a supplement.
Will this stain my leather bridle?
The balm is oil-based; while it is intended for the bit, try to avoid heavy contact with leather to prevent potential oil absorption.
Is there a larger size available?
Yes, there is a 120g version (MPN: SG128) available for those who use the product frequently.
Troubleshooting
Balm feels too soft or runny in warm weather
Place the container in a refrigerator or a cool, shaded area for 15 minutes to allow the natural waxes to firm up.
Horse seems uninterested in the bit application
Ensure the bit is cleaned of all previous debris and apply a thinner layer; some horses are more sensitive to the peppermint scent than others.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use, ensure the area is clean and free of debris before applying a thin layer of the balm. For bit application, use a clean cloth or your fingers to distribute an even, light coating onto the bit mouthpiece just before bridling. Store the product in a cool, dry place to maintain the consistency of the beeswax and shea butter base. If the product becomes too soft in high summer temperatures, a brief period in a cooler environment will restore its solid, easy-to-apply state.
