Horse Skin Care: Active ingredients that really work

That's why we rely on proven active ingredients such as Aloe Verafor cooling care, Calendula(marigold) to soothe irritated areas, and Zincfor targeted wound healing.
Whether it's classic horse salve, spray for hard-to-reach areas, or conditioning lotion for daily use – you'll find the right format for every skin problem here. The dosage is always designed so that you can work sparingly and precisely.

How to find the right skin care for your horse
Ask yourself briefly: What does your horse need right now? Fast wound healing after a scrape? Then a zinc-containing salve is your friend. Daily care for dry, flaky skin? Reach for a moisturizing lotion with Aloe Vera. Soothing for itchy spots? Calendula products are great for that.
Our tip: Always try a new product on a small area first before applying it widely. This pays off, especially with sensitive horses.
