Augustine's SuperBalm has been thoroughly examined and approved by ACO to make the 92% certified organic claim. While some products advertise that they are made with certified organic ingredients, not all are approved by an organic certification body and should not be using the word 'certified'. The remaining 8% is naturally derived and cannot be certified but is still approved for use in certified organic production.
Why a balm instead of a cream?
Creams are on average 80% water and bacteria breeds in water, not in oil and butters. Producing a balm means that we do not have to use preservatives to prevent bacteria, in turn not compromising the product's organic integrity. Given that creams are 80% water, producing a balm means that we are not diluting the benefits of our ingredients, in turn producing a more potent and effective formula.
When should I use Augustine's SuperBalm and When should I use Augustine's SuperBath?
On the contrary to popular belief, most skin problems have an internal root-cause. It is only a smaller percentage of dogs that have a purely topical infection that these products can help address. The skin is the weakest organ and when nasties cannot be eliminated through the digestive system they tend to come out through the skin.
Our balm and bath can provide relief while our supplements (including Faith's Cleanse & Detox and our Healthy Skin Bundles) restore gut balance and in turn address the root cause of skin problems. . Augustine's SuperBalm and Augustine's SuperBath will go after fungus and bacteria, soothe the skin and provide relief from irritations while our supplements get to work. The comparison I like to use is to a mosquito bite - if you leave it alone it heals quickly. If you continually scratch and pick at it, it becomes a lot worse.
The skin is a living organ and nasties are continually being expelled (sometimes for weeks or months), hence why 1-2 Augustine's SuperBaths may not be enough. While Augustine's SuperBath is extremely powerful and effective at attacking fungus and bacteria topically, customers may struggle to keep up with regular bathing and it can also be difficult to submerge some dogs for minutes at a time, especially larger dogs or those that do not like water. It is also time consuming to bathe dogs daily. Augustine's SuperBalm offers ease and convenience, especially in hard to bathe areas like the ears. Ideally the two should be used together, reducing the frequency of bathing.
