Support it with Science — Not Soap 🧼.
When it comes to grooming your horse, we often think of cleaning products as a simple solution. After all, they’re designed to do one job: clean. But here’s the thing—standard equine shampoos may be doing more harm than good when it comes to maintaining your horse’s skin health. Sure, they wash away dirt and sweat, but they often strip away natural oils and disrupt the delicate microbial balance of the skin. This can lead to skin irritation, dryness, and other issues you don’t want your horse to deal with.
If you’re concerned about skin health, immune support, or ensuring that your horse’s skin microbiome is well-maintained, it’s time to rethink your grooming products. Enter Pure Steed’s Tri-biotic formulas—a more holistic, scientifically advanced solution that actively supports your horse’s natural defenses and microbiome.
The Problem with Standard Equine Grooming Products 🧴
Most standard equine shampoos and conditioners do one thing really well: they clean. But what they don’t do is support the skin’s natural ecosystem. Here’s a closer look at the typical equine shampoo you’re likely using.
PURPOSE
- Clean the coat, removing dirt, sweat, and oils.
- Soften and detangle the mane and tail.
- Enhance coat shine.
COMMON INGREDIENTS
- Surfactants (cleaning agents): These ingredients are designed to strip oils and dirt away from the skin. Unfortunately, they often go too far, removing natural oils that protect the skin.
- Volatile essential oils: While they might smell nice, many of these oils (like tea tree, eucalyptus, and peppermint) can be irritating and even toxic to equine skin.
- Artificial preservatives: Often used to extend shelf life and prevent Essential Oils from oxidising, but they contain harsh chemicals that further disrupt the skin’s natural barrier.
IMPACT ON SKIN
- Disruption of the natural skin microbiome: Your horse’s skin is home to a delicate balance of good bacteria that helps protect against harmful pathogens. Shampoos with harsh chemicals can disturb this balance, making the skin more prone to infection and inflammation.
- Weakening the skin barrier: The skin’s natural barrier function is essential for protecting against dryness, irritation, and external aggressors like dirt and bacteria. Washing with traditional ingredients can weaken this protective layer, leaving your horse’s skin vulnerable.
Why Pure Steed’s Tri-biotic Formulas Are the Future of Horse Grooming 🌿
At Pure Steed, we understand that your horse’s skin isn’t just something to be cleaned—it’s an ecosystem that needs to be supported. That’s why we’ve developed our Tri-biotic formulas, which are specifically designed to gently cleanse while actively maintaining the skin’s health and natural defenses.
PURPOSE
- Gently clean the coat without stripping natural oils or disrupting the skin’s microbiome.
- Support a healthy barrier function to protect against dryness, irritation, and external aggressors.
- Perfect for sensitive skin, problem-prone skin, or horses dealing with issues like hives, irritation, flaky skin, or itching.
THE TRI-BIOTIC APPROACH
We believe in nourishing your horse’s skin the way nature intended—by supporting its microbiome with three essential components:
Prebiotics: Feed the good microbes that naturally live on your horse’s skin, helping them thrive and perform their protective functions.
Probiotics: Introduce beneficial bacteria to support the balance of microbes and boost the skin’s natural defenses.
Postbiotics: Provide the metabolites that are produced by beneficial microbes, which can help support skin health and immune function.
