Coconut-Based Surfactants: Gentle Science Behind ShowBarn Secret® Indian Lilac 2-in-1 Shampoo

Not every shampoo treats a horse’s coat with respect. Many commercial formulas rely on harsh detergents that strip natural oils. At ShowBarn Secret®, we do things differently — our Indian Lilac 2-in-1 Shampoo is powered by coconut-based surfactants that cleanse, condition, and protect — naturally.

Why Coconut-Based Surfactants Matter

Derived from coconuts, these mild surfactants lift dirt and oil without damaging the skin’s barrier. Unlike conventional detergents, they rinse clean while preserving essential natural oils — leaving the coat hydrated, not stripped.

• Gentle Cleansing: Breaks down dirt and sweat without irritation.
• Natural Moisture Balance: Prevents dryness by maintaining the coat’s lipid layer.
• Antimicrobial Support: Discourages bacterial and fungal growth for healthier skin.

The ShowBarn Secret® Standard

We combine coconut-based surfactants with Indian Lilac, Manuka Honey, Shea Butter, Jojoba Oil, Argan Oil, and Keratin to create a shampoo that’s as scientifically sound as it is naturally derived. Every wash hydrates and strengthens — supporting the skin, the coat, and your horse’s comfort.
