Ingredient Insight

Why Shea Butter Shows Up in Our Cream

Rich in vitamins A & E + essential fatty acids for a healthy skin barrier.

Shea butter helps replenish moisture, supports a calm, conditioned coat, and reinforces the skin’s protective barrier. In routine use, riders reach for it to ease the look of dryness and help the hair lie smooth—especially in sun, dust, and changing weather.

  • Deep hydration: Helps reduce the appearance of dryness and flakiness.
  • Coat feel & manageability: Nourishes hair shafts for a smoother finish.
  • Daily defense: Antioxidant content supports skin against environmental stressors.
  • Comfort care: Pairs well with gentle grooming routines on sensitive zones (avoid open skin).

Why Rapid Relief Restorative Cream?

  • Thoughtful formula: Includes zinc oxide and zinc pyrithione to support a clean, healthy skin environment during routine care.
  • Fragrance & dye free: Keeps it simple for daily use across a variety of horses.
  • Pairs with grooming: Works alongside regular washing, drying, and coat maintenance.

Use as directed on label. For topical use only. Avoid eyes and open wounds. Consult your veterinarian for specific conditions.
