Yes, this is its primary mission. Mud and wet pastures create an environment that weakens both the skin around the pastern and the hoof horn. Thanks to boreal balsam fir and rich botanical oils, the balm creates a highly effective hydrophobic barrier. It actively protects delicate tissues, such as the heel bulbs and the pastern crease against spring and autumn environmental stressors.

Absolutely. Cracks and brittle walls, often caused by sudden weather shifts or dry/wet cycles, allow debris and moisture to work their way into the hoof. Deep Elixir delivers intense, lipid-replenishing nourishment using shea butter and beeswax. By restoring natural elasticity and flexibility to the hoof capsule, it helps prevent cracks from appearing or tracking upwards, while supporting healthy hoof growth from the coronet band.

It is highly recommended. A foul odor in the frog or deep clefts indicates that the hoof is reacting poorly to stall moisture or wet footing. Our formula features a blend of laurel noble, thyme, and rosemary essential oils, combined with neem oil. This natural botanical complex deeply purifies and cleanses the enclosed areas of the foot, restoring a clean, fresh, and healthy environment.

The majority of traditional hoof balms contain water, which dilutes the active ingredients and requires chemical preservatives.

Stop paying for water!

By completely removing water, we provide a formula that is 100% concentrated with pure active ingredients. This is why a very small amount of product is all it takes with each application to achieve optimal results!

Balsam fir, our precious "green gold" of Quebec, is renowned for its powerful purifying virtues. In Deep Elixir, in addition to bringing a fresh, woody scent of the wild forest, it acts as an exceptional natural binding agent. It ensures that the balm adheres perfectly to the horn and the sole, creating a durable shield against moisture and manure, even out in the pasture.

Deep Elixir creates a true hydrophobic shield.

If you apply the balm to a wet or dirty hoof, you risk trapping moisture and bacteria underneath the product. To deeply cleanse and nourish, thoroughly brush the foot and ensure the horn is completely dry before application.

Yes! Thanks to its rich texture and highly protective ingredients (botanical butters, neem, and coconut oils), you can extend it slightly up to the heels and the pasterns. It serves as an excellent preventive barrier against the harsh elements of mud and wet ground.

For maintenance (healthy hooves): 2 times a week is more than enough to maintain horn elasticity, nourish the white line, and stimulate the coronet band.

For intensive care (harsh environments, damaged hooves, foul-smelling frogs): Apply a thin layer 4 times a week until you see improvement.

Since the formula is ultra-concentrated and applied in a very thin layer, a 225 ml jar generally lasts between 3 and 6 months for one horse, depending on environmental conditions and their specific needs.

Like any 100% natural product made with botanical butters and beeswax, Deep Elixir becomes firmer in the winter and softer in the summer.

Do not expose the product to extreme heat, as this could alter the properties of the active ingredients and cause the balm to liquefy.
