Why Wintergreen Oil?

Wintergreen oil isn’t just a refreshing scent. It’s a natural powerhouse that supports equine comfort and resilience—one reason it’s featured in Citraquin Environmental Defense Spray.

What Is Wintergreen Oil?

Derived from the leaves of the wintergreen plant, this essential oil contains methyl salicylate, a compound known for its pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory qualities. Long valued in natural remedies, it has become a versatile ingredient in equine health care.

Benefits for Horses

• Pain Relief & Recovery: Methyl salicylate works similarly to aspirin, reducing soreness and inflammation in muscles and joints when applied topically.
• Skin & Coat Support: Known for moisturizing properties, Wintergreen Oil helps keep equine skin hydrated and resilient, especially under harsh conditions.
• Antimicrobial Defense: Its natural antimicrobial activity helps defend against environmental pathogens that can irritate skin.
• Natural Insect Repellent: The sharp, minty aroma repels pests like flies and mosquitoes, adding another layer of comfort for your horse.

How It Works in Citraquin

By layering pain relief, hydration, antimicrobial protection, and insect defense, Wintergreen Oil plays a vital role in making Citraquin a multi-functional spray—not just a fly spray, but an all-in-one environmental shield.
