A RESTORATIVE BLEND OF BOTANICAL INGREDIENTS
At the heart of this carefully developed formula is a selection of botanical oils and plant extracts chosen for their nourishing, soothing and skin-conditioning properties.
🌸 Evening Primrose Oil – Rich in essential fatty acids, evening primrose oil helps nourish dry skin, support its natural moisture barrier and soothe discomfort associated with irritation.
🌿 Marula Oil – Valued for its moisturizing and antioxidant properties, marula oil helps soften dry areas, improve skin suppleness and maintain a comfortable, healthy-looking skin surface.
🌻 Sunflower Oil – A natural emollient rich in beneficial fatty acids and vitamin E, helping reduce moisture loss and support the skin's protective barrier.
🍯 New Zealand Manuka Honey – Known for its naturally occurring antibacterial and humectant properties, Manuka honey helps retain moisture and supports skin comfort.
🌱 Neem Oil – Traditionally valued in botanical skincare and known for its insect-repellent properties, neem oil contributes to the formula's protective botanical blend.
🍃 Karanja Oil – A plant-derived oil traditionally used for its skin-conditioning and insect-repellent properties.
✨ Vitamin C – An antioxidant that helps support healthy-looking skin and protect against environmental oxidative stress.
Together, these ingredients create a nourishing formulation designed to help keep sensitive skin comfortable, moisturized and protected.
THE NATURAL GOODNESS OF NEW ZEALAND BOTANICALS
New Zealand is home to a remarkable variety of native plants valued for their traditional skincare applications.
The Smith & Burton Dermal Relief Topical Spray brings together Manuka honey and carefully selected native botanical extracts to provide gentle, restorative care.
Kawakawa – Traditionally used in New Zealand botanical skincare, Kawakawa is valued for its soothing properties and ability to help care for delicate, uncomfortable skin.
Poroporo – A native New Zealand botanical associated with traditional skin-care applications, contributing to the formula's conditioning properties.
Manuka Water – Known for its refreshing and astringent properties, Manuka water helps tone and soothe the skin while complementing the formula's moisturizing ingredients.
Combined with nourishing botanical oils, these ingredients help create a thoughtful approach to everyday skin comfort.
GENTLE CARE BEFORE & AFTER GROOMING
Professional grooming can sometimes place additional demands on sensitive skin, particularly when close-cutting blades or clippers are used.
The Smith & Burton Dermal Relief Topical Spray is suitable for use as part of a grooming routine, helping condition and soothe areas that may experience temporary dryness, friction or discomfort.
Its lightweight formula allows for targeted application before or after grooming, while its fragrance-free composition makes it easy to incorporate alongside shampoos, conditioners and other grooming essentials.
A practical addition to professional and at-home grooming routines, particularly for dogs with delicate or easily irritated skin.
BOTANICAL PROTECTION FOR EVERYDAY COMFORT
Environmental exposure can affect the skin's comfort, especially for dogs spending time outdoors.
The formula contains neem and karanja oils, botanical ingredients traditionally recognized for their naturally occurring insect-repellent properties.
These oils complement the spray's soothing and conditioning benefits, offering additional botanical care for skin exposed to everyday outdoor environments.
While these ingredients are associated with insect-repellent activity, the spray should not be considered a replacement for veterinarian-recommended flea, tick or parasite prevention.
FRAGRANCE-FREE & THOUGHTFULLY FORMULATED
Sensitive skin often benefits from simple, carefully selected ingredients.
The Smith & Burton Dermal Relief Topical Spray is formulated without added synthetic fragrance, making it suitable for grooming routines where minimizing unnecessary fragrance exposure is important.
Its naturally derived botanical formulation is designed to help soothe and condition delicate skin without masking it with strong perfumes.
The fragrance-free composition also allows the spray to complement other Smith & Burton grooming products without interfering with their scents.
A gentle and practical choice for companions who benefit from additional skin care.
HOW TO USE
Apply the spray directly to clean skin in areas requiring additional comfort and care.
Use a light, even application, allowing the formula to settle naturally.
For grooming, apply as needed to suitable areas before or after a grooming session, following the product manufacturer's directions.
Avoid excessive application and prevent licking until the product has dried.
Please note: For external use only. Avoid the eyes, nose, mouth and other sensitive mucous membranes. Do not apply to open wounds or infected skin. Persistent itching, inflamed skin, hot spots or suspected allergies should be assessed by a veterinarian. This cosmetic grooming spray is not a substitute for prescribed dermatological treatment or veterinary parasite prevention.
For cats: Although the supplier describes this product as suitable for cats, formulations containing essential or botanical oils such as neem and karanja require particular care in felines. Confirm the manufacturer's cat-specific application and safety instructions before use.
