Red Algae Extract: Nature’s Secret for Equine Skin Relief

As horse owners, we all want our equine partners to feel their best — not just in muscle and motion, but skin-deep too. Environmental changes, sweat, and frequent grooming can leave a horse’s skin irritated or dry. That’s why we turned to one of nature’s ocean-born remedies: red algae extract, a key ingredient in our Draw It Out® Rapid Relief Restorative Cream for Horses.

What Is Red Algae Extract?

Also known as carrageenan, red algae extract is a natural compound harvested from seaweed. Rich in essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, potassium, and iodine, it’s been valued for centuries for its ability to soothe, protect, and restore the skin’s barrier.

Why Horses Benefit from Red Algae

  • Hydrates & Soothes: Red algae extract draws in moisture, helping calm dry or itchy skin caused by weather, sweat, or grooming friction.
  • Supports Recovery: Its natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties ease irritation from dermatitis, eczema, and minor abrasions.
  • Protects Against Damage: The marine minerals help reinforce skin structure, preventing future dryness or cracking.
Fast Fact: Sea-based botanicals like red algae contain polysaccharides that act as natural humectants — locking in hydration without clogging pores or leaving residue.

Why We Included It in Rapid Relief Restorative Cream

At Draw It Out®, we don’t add ingredients for show — only for performance. Red algae extract earned its place in Rapid Relief Restorative Cream because of its powerful synergy with our botanical base. This advanced topical blend brings fast, soothing relief for scrapes, chafing, sunburn, and other skin challenges that horses face daily.
