Nose & Toes | Dog Paw Balm
• One (1) recyclable aluminum screw-top tin | approx. 1 oz
Protection and comfort for noses, paws, and life outdoors
Nose & Toes is a rich, protective balm composed for dry noses, rough paw pads, and dogs that spend their lives in contact with the outdoors.
Virgin beeswax creates a breathable protective layer, while cupuaçu butter and botanical oils soften, condition, and help restore comfort to weathered skin. Dense in the tin but smooth on contact, the balm settles easily into paws and noses without leaving behind a heavy residue.
Inspired by time outdoors with my own dog — hiking, gardening, and working the hives together — Nose & Toes was created as a practical daily balm for dogs exposed to dirt, cold, dry air, rough ground, and changing weather.
Using Nose & Toes
Warm a small amount between your fingers and apply gently to dry noses, rough paw pads, or areas exposed to cold weather, rough ground, dry air, and outdoor life.
Dense in the tin yet smooth on contact, the balm softens quickly with warmth and settles easily into the skin without leaving behind an overly greasy or heavy finish.
Use before walks, hikes, winter outings, or outdoor activity for added protection, or apply afterward whenever paws and noses feel weathered, dry, or overworked from the day.
The composition was intentionally built from simple, lick-safe materials chosen to remain gentle, protective, and comfortable for regular use.
The Composition
Nose & Toes was composed for dogs that spend their lives in contact with the outdoors — exposed to rough ground, changing weather, dry air, dirt, cold, and repeated environmental wear.
At the center of the formula is our own virgin beeswax, which creates a breathable protective layer that helps remain present on the skin while still allowing flexibility and movement. Cupuaçu butter contributes lasting softness and moisture retention, helping dry or weathered areas feel more supple and comfortable over time.
Botanical oils soften the density of the composition and help the balm spread evenly across paws and noses without leaving behind a thick or overly slick residue. The result is a texture that feels protective and substantial while still remaining comfortable for everyday use.
Built from a restrained palette of practical, lick-safe ingredients, Nose & Toes was designed less as a cosmetic product and more as a dependable daily balm for dogs living active outdoor lives alongside the people who care for them.
Questions Worth Asking
What areas is Nose & Toes meant to be used on?
Primarily dry noses, rough paw pads, and areas exposed to outdoor wear and environmental dryness. Many people use it during colder months, after hikes, on rough terrain, or anytime paws and noses appear weathered or depleted.
Is the balm safe if my dog licks it?
Yes. The composition was intentionally built from simple, lick-safe ingredients chosen to remain gentle and appropriate for regular use around dogs that naturally groom themselves.
Does Nose & Toes leave greasy paw prints?
The balm was balanced to remain protective without becoming excessively greasy or slippery. After warming and settling into the skin, it leaves behind a more breathable, conditioned finish rather than a thick surface residue.
Why use beeswax in a dog balm?
Virgin beeswax helps create a flexible protective layer that remains present on the skin during outdoor exposure while still allowing movement and comfort. It helps support paws and noses exposed to cold, rough surfaces, dry air, and repeated environmental contact.
Was Nose & Toes inspired by a real dog?
Yes. The balm grew out of time spent outdoors with my own dog — hiking, gardening, walking trails, and working around the hives together. It was composed first as a practical solution for a real outdoor life before ever becoming a product.
