Animal Scents® Ointment

It may sound a bit kooky – but when I need some serious care for my hands (and feet and elbows – you name it!) I reach for Young Living’s Animal Scents Ointment. I’m not sure where the name comes from as it doesn’t smell like animals at all! It has an earthy aroma.

It’s a protective, soothing salve designed specifically for external use on animals. The gentle and safe formula is enhanced with pure Tea Tree (Melaleuca Alternifolia) and Myrrh, two of nature’s most powerful essential oils.

And the cool part is that a portion of all proceeds from Animal Scents products goes to support Vital Ground, a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting the habitat of grizzly bears and other wide-roaming wildlife.
