Best Organic Ice Melt Safe for Pets and Plants
When winter brings icy sidewalks and driveways, finding an ice melt that is both effective and safe for your loved ones—including pets and plants—is essential. Many traditional ice melts contain harsh chemicals, dyes, and additives that can harm animals, children, and your garden. Fortunately, Redmond Ice Slicer: Nature’s Blend offers a certified organic, all-natural solution that melts ice quickly while being gentle on the environment, pets, and plants.
Why Choose an Organic Ice Melt?
"Conventional ice melts can harm plants, but Nature’s Blend is plant-friendly. Nature’s Blend melts ice quickly and improves soil fertility with 60+ trace minerals."
— Redmond Life
Most ice melts use coarse sodium chloride granules coated in liquid chlorides, dyes, and sometimes urea. These additives can be harmful to concrete, landscaping, and especially to the sensitive paws and skin of pets and children. In contrast, Redmond Ice Slicer: Nature’s Blend is pure, unprocessed, ancient sea salt with nothing added and nothing removed. It is OMRI-listed organic and contains over 60 naturally occurring trace minerals, making it a safer and more eco-friendly choice.
