How It Works
Step 1
Apply
Spray directly onto the coat or apply to a soft towel. Focus on dirty, sweaty, or odor-prone areas.
Step 2
Massage
Work gently into the hair to lift dirt and residue. The formula binds debris without soaking the coat.
Step 3
Wipe & Brush
Wipe clean with a towel and brush through. Leaves the coat refreshed, soft, and ready to go.
Why Waterless Grooming Makes Sense
Full baths are not always practical and often do more harm than good when used too frequently. Waterless shampoo fills the gap by cleaning where it counts without stressing skin, coat, or schedule.
Less Stress on Skin
Frequent bathing can strip natural oils and dry out skin. A waterless approach refreshes the coat while helping maintain the skin’s natural balance.
Built for Real Conditions
Cold weather, travel days, show mornings, and busy barns do not always allow for hoses and heat lamps. This keeps grooming moving without compromise.
Clean Where It Matters
Targets sweat marks, dirt patches, and odor-prone areas without soaking the entire animal. Faster dry time. Less mess. More control.
Ingredient Logic
This formula is built to clean effectively without relying on harsh detergents or heavy fragrances. Every component plays a specific role in keeping coats fresh while respecting skin and natural oils.
Tea Tree Oil
Selected for its naturally cleansing and refreshing properties. Helps address odor and buildup while supporting a clean skin environment.
Gentle Plant-Derived Cleansers
Lift dirt and residue without aggressive foaming or stripping. Designed for wipe-clean use rather than rinse-out saturation.
Vegetable Glycerin
Draws moisture into the hair and skin to prevent dryness, leaving coats soft instead of brittle after cleaning.
Conditioning Botanicals
Red algae and chamomile help support coat feel and manageability, adding slip and comfort without heavy residue.
No rinsing required. No heavy buildup. Designed for frequent, practical use in real grooming routines.
When Riders Reach for It
This is not a replacement for a full bath. It is the tool riders use in between when life, weather, or schedules get in the way.
Cold Weather Grooming
When hoses are frozen or temperatures make rinsing impractical. Keeps coats fresh without chilling or long dry times.
Between Full Baths
Ideal for maintaining cleanliness without over-washing. Helps extend time between traditional shampoos.
Show and Travel Days
Quick touch-ups for sweat marks, manure stains, and dusty coats before or after hauling.
Water-Averse Animals
A calmer option for animals that dislike bathing. Less stress, less restraint, better grooming experiences.
Spot Cleaning
Targets specific areas without soaking the entire coat. Controlled, efficient, and mess-free.
Busy Barn Days
For riders who still care about cleanliness even when time is limited.
