The gentle acting chemical formulation forms additional intermolecular bonds between molecules of keratin through the process of cross-linking, producing a tougher, stronger horn structure. Keratin is the main protein constituent of horn and is best described as the building block of the horn structure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eApply to lower half of hoof and sole, avoiding coronary band and frog.
