Gall salve is a topical ointment for horses made from a blend of petrolatum, lard, sulfur, borax, potassium alum, beeswax and water. It is designed to soften, soothe and lubricate skin affected by minor wounds, sores, scrapes and gall marks from tack or work equipment. The formula is built to stay on the skin rather than rubbing or sweating off, so coverage continues even during hot weather or extended periods of activity. It applies smoothly and does not leave a heavy greasy residue behind. The ointment is ready to use directly from the jar and requires no mixing or additional preparation. It is intended for external application on horses and is produced in the United States.
