Chris Christensen Black Button Nose Discolouration Remover 2 x 29.5 ml

Chris Christensen Black Button is an innovative professional two-part cosmetic system designed specifically to safely and effectively restore the deep black pigment of a dog's nose.

Quick summary: This unique formula is the ideal solution for dogs suffering from depigmentation (known as "snow nose" or "winter nose"), as well as for covering scars, scuffs or natural age-related changes. The system consists of two separate liquids that activate when mixed and create a rich, natural-looking black colour. The product is completely non-toxic, does not irritate the animal's sense of smell and becomes waterproof once fully dry, ensuring a perfect, long-lasting look both in the show ring and in everyday life.

Professional results and a completely natural look

Fading of the nose leather is a common problem in many breeds (such as Huskies, Golden Retrievers, Labradors and terriers), and it spoils the overall expression and contrast of the face. Standard markers or dyes often look unnaturally glossy, rub off quickly or contain toxic chemicals. Black Button by Chris Christensen works on a completely different principle. The two parts of the product create a chemical reaction that does not simply "paint" but safely colours the top layer of the skin, perfectly imitating the natural matte texture of a dog's nose.

Application is extremely easy and precise thanks to the glass dropper bottles. Once the mixture has been applied and has dried completely, it does not smudge when touched, does not wash off in rain or snow and does not stain your furniture or clothes. It is the secret weapon of professional handlers around the world for an impeccable presentation in the ring.

When to use

Choose Chris Christensen Black Button in the following 3 situations:

• For dogs with seasonal nose depigmentation (winter/snow nose), to restore the deep black colour.
• To cover scars, scratches or scuffed areas on the nose leather that have lost their pigment.
• Before dog shows and photo shoots, when perfect contrast and an impeccable black nose are essential to the breed standard.

Key benefits of Black Button:

• Natural result: Imitates the real texture of the nose, without an unnatural gloss or artificial look.
• Waterproof: Once dry, it does not wash off with water, snow or licking.
• Non-toxic formula: Completely safe for the dog, even if a minimal amount is accidentally swallowed before it dries.
• Two-part power: Activates only when mixed, which keeps the product fresh in the bottles for years.
• Easy application: Requires only a cotton bud and takes seconds.

Active components of the system

Ingredient (Component)	Quantity	Action
Part 1 (Activator)	29.5 ml	A clear liquid that acts as a chemical activator. It prepares the pigmentation process and ensures the colour lasts.
Part 2 (Pigment base)	29.5 ml	A dark liquid that, when combined with Part 1, triggers the reaction that creates a deep, matte, waterproof black colour.

Instructions for use

For optimal, long-lasting results, follow the steps below strictly. The product stains heavily during use, so we recommend protecting your hands and the surrounding surfaces.

Step	Action
Step 1	Clean the dog's nose well and dry it completely. Moisture prevents the product from setting properly.
Step 2	Put one drop of Part 1 and one drop of Part 2 into a small, non-absorbent container (or onto a piece of foil/plastic). Mix them well with a cotton bud.
Step 3	Using the cotton bud, carefully apply the mixture only to the depigmented areas of the nose. Avoid contact with the coat.
Step 4	Hold the dog's head and do not let it lick its nose for 2 to 3 minutes, until the product is completely dry and waterproof.

Frequently asked questions

Question 1: Is it dangerous if my dog licks its nose before it has dried? The product is made from non-toxic ingredients, and accidentally licking a small amount will not harm the dog's health. However, if the dog licks the product before it has dried, the colour will not set properly and may temporarily stain its tongue or lips. Always keep the dog distracted with a treat until the nose is dry. Question 2: How long does the black colour last? How long it lasts depends on the individual dog, its habits (how often it licks its nose or digs in the ground) and the climate. A single application usually lasts from a few days to a week or more. You can repeat the procedure as often as necessary. Question 3: Can I use the product to cover stains around the eyes or lips? No. Chris Christensen Black Button has been developed and tested exclusively for the texture of the nose leather. Do not use the product near the eyes, on the coat or on mucous membranes, as it may cause irritation or an unwanted effect.

Expert tip

If you are preparing your dog for an important dog show, do not apply the product at the last minute before entering the ring. Always do it the day before, or at least a few hours in advance. This gives the pigment enough time to absorb into the skin, dry perfectly and take on its completely natural matte finish, with no risk of staining the judge's hands when they check the teeth.
