TUF PAD

[Officially Retired]

Jack, I believe the alcohol comes from the tincture of benzoin in the tuf pad. Also to suspend the styrex and aloe. I don't think it's there to do anything other than that. I may be wrong. Tincture of benzoin has been used for a long time for toughening skin, not just in dogs. Idk how laughable that is. More tried and true actually.

70% alcohol = 70% alcohol. And it's not more proven than turpentine.

I prefer the suspension in the non-caustic mineral oil and bees wax, which also allows it to stay on longer

But you have the right to pick and choose what you want.
