{"product_id":"pet-tear-stain-remover-powder","title":"Tear Stain Remover Powder for Dogs \u0026 Cats — 20g + Brush","description":"\u003cp\u003eTear stains aren't dirt — they're porphyrin-stained fur. Porphyrins are iron-containing compounds in tears and saliva, and on light-colored coats they oxidize into the rusty brown crust that no amount of scrubbing will remove without also irritating the eye area. Wet wipes lift surface debris, but they can't undo oxidation that's chemically bonded to the fur, and the moisture they leave behind feeds the next round of staining within hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis powder works on the prevention side instead: brushed onto dry fur, it forms a thin hydrophobic coating so fresh tears bead and roll off rather than wicking into the coat. Without the wicking, porphyrins don't oxidize onto the fur. One application holds 12–24 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 × tear stain powder, 20 g \/ 0.88 oz, screw-top jar\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 × soft-tip applicator brush (sized for the eye, mouth, and paw fold areas — not for fingertip application)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat this fixes — and what it doesn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cosmetic effect (off-white powder visually toning down existing stains) shows up the same day, and the barrier effect prevents new staining from that point forward. What it can't do is remove fur that's already oxidized — the visibly stained hairs have to grow out, which usually takes 3–6 months of consistent application before the coat fully clears. The job of this product is making sure new growth comes in clean while the old growth cycles out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterials and ingredients\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e cosmetic-grade talc and silica — fine enough to brush onto fur without clumping, light enough not to leave residue\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNiacinamide:\u003c\/strong\u003e vitamin B3 derivative; mild anti-inflammatory for the surrounding skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHyaluronic acid:\u003c\/strong\u003e humectant; keeps the skin under treated fur from drying out\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentella asiatica:\u003c\/strong\u003e traditional anti-inflammatory botanical (gotu kola)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree of:\u003c\/strong\u003e added fragrance, dyes, and the preservatives most commonly linked to skin reactions in pet skincare\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse surface:\u003c\/strong\u003e safe for daily use on dogs and cats; for eye-area, mouth folds, and urine-stained foot\/genital fur\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to apply\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe the area clean and let the fur fully dry first — applying on damp fur defeats the barrier. Tap a small amount onto the brush, then sweep along the fur (not against the skin). Reapply once a day, or after the dog gets the area wet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen this isn't the right product\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSkip this if your dog has active eye discharge, redness, or signs of infection — see a vet first. This is a cosmetic prevention layer, not a medical treatment, and using a barrier powder over an untreated infection can mask the symptoms you'd want to track.
