Introducing Black Pearl: the ultimate solution for enhancing the natural beauty of your black animals!

Our all-natural liquid black polish features a blend of black resin, designed to infuse a brilliant black color tone that adds depth, dimension, and shine. Specifically crafted for black-pigmented livestock, especially hogs! Black Pearl is perfect for covering faded hair and skin, sunburns, stains, scrapes, blemishes, and overall stale appearances.

Give your animals the fresh, polished look they deserve with Black Pearl!
