Burt’s Bees for Horses Detangling Shampoo 946ml

Description

A horse shampoo that detangles while it cleans

Burt’s Bees for Horses Detangling Shampoo is made for horse skin rather than human hair. Coconut oil and apple cider vinegar lift dirt and sweat out of the coat while loosening the knots in the mane and tail, so the comb goes through afterwards instead of catching. The formula is 99.3 percent natural origin and pH balanced for horses.

Key benefits

• Loosens tangles in the mane and tail as it washes, so grooming afterwards takes less time
• pH balanced for horses, because horse skin is not human skin and human shampoo dries it out
• Coconut oil softens, apple cider vinegar helps smooth, and honey conditions the coat
• Low lather and easy to rinse, which matters when you are working with a hose and a wet horse
• 99.3 percent natural origin, made without sulfates, chemical detergents, phthalates, parabens, fragrances or colourants
• Bottle made with 80 percent post consumer recycled plastic

How to use

1. Wet the mane, tail and full coat thoroughly with warm water.
2. Massage the shampoo into the mane and tail first to start the detangling, keeping well away from the face.
3. For a full groom, work the shampoo through the rest of the coat.
4. Comb through, then rinse thoroughly and towel dry.

Storage and care tips

Store the bottle in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight, which matters in a tack room that heats up over summer. Keep the cap on so the formula does not thicken. For external use only, and keep it out of reach of children and animals.

FAQs

Can I use my own shampoo on my horse? Better not to. Horse skin sits at a different pH to human skin, so human shampoo tends to strip it and leave the coat dry and itchy. This one is formulated for horses.

How much does one bottle do? The 946ml bottle covers a lot of ground because the formula is low lather and goes a long way. For a full body wash on an average horse, most people get several washes out of a bottle.

Is it safe around the face? Keep it away from the face and eyes. Work the mane and tail first, then the rest of the coat, and rinse thoroughly.

Will it strip a coloured or white coat? There are no colourants or bleaching agents in it, so it cleans without altering coat colour.
