Are you dreading THE JOB?

We’re thrilled to introduce a new product that makes this inevitable, hands-on job at least less unpleasant for you and your horse.  Smeg-U-Later – the All Natural Sheath Cleaner – named based on April Rotha’s submission to our Name It To Claim It Contest.

This all natural formula is made with gentle yet effective coconut derived cleansers and soothing Honeysuckle Extract to make sure our precious geldings and stud muffins don’t get irritated down there. We’ve also added essential oil of Lavender known for its calming properties. Let’s face it, we all want our horses to be nice and calm when we’re doing THE JOB. If your horse gets a little antsy, give him a sniff and you’ll see his eyes glaze over, making the whole experience more pleasurable for both of you.  The result? A happy horse with a squeaky clean lavender smelling undercarriage (and you’ll have lavender scented hands too). Smeg-U-Later is also great for cleaning delicate skin like nostrils and around the eye area!

Why Sheath Cleaning?

If you are the proud owner of a gelding or stallion, you know what I’m talking about. It’s the job we love to hate, and some of us ask our vet to do it or avoid it completely. Yes, I am talking about cleaning your precious gelding or stud muffin’s “undercarriage”. And yes, someone needs to do it.

Smegma is a collection of dirt and excretions that are completely normal. Smegma builds up around the sheath of the penis and should be cleaned for the sake of your horse’s health and comfort. Guidelines suggest twice a year, but every horse is different.  Smegma hardens and forms a “bean” that can cause serious pain for your horse. It can lead to behavior problems (really, can you blame him?) and worse, health problems. Dirty sheaths also lead to every horse owner’s nightmare. Tail rubbing! And the odor, you cannot forget that.

p.s. If you’re a mare owner, remember that the wax build up between their teats needs to be cleaned too., as it can lead to an uncomfortable itch.

p.s.s.  Smeg-U-Later can be used to clean delicate areas around your horse`s eyes and nostrils. We tested it – on ourselves – and it works fabulous in remove eye makeup. We are against testing  on animals, but we`re all over testing products on ourselves. I mean if it irritated my eyes, wouldn’t it irritate my horse`s?

Thank you Elissa for sharing her experience with EcoLicious products.

“We had a couple warm days that got up to 66 degrees, so I finally got the chance to wash Blue’s tail.  I am so impressed with these products.  I think I had said before that I’d been floating around looking for something that would satisfy me and hadn’t found anything quite right, let alone natural.  I’m so glad I tried this brand now.

“It was getting dark out and started to rain a little, so I didn’t even do that thorough of a job and it still came out great.  The Squeaky Green & Clean Shampoo was wonderful, I couldn’t believe how clean it got his tail all the way up into the base.  It usually takes 2-3 washes and rinses to get all that dirt out and I did not expect it to be clean after just the one wash last night, but it was.  And I mean really clean, not even stained.  His tail was pure white when I finished.  And it was great to be able to put the Silky Moisturizing Rinse Out Coat Mane and Tail Conditioner in right on top of the shampoo.  It saved a lot of time not having to rinse twice.  His tail is super long and thick and stays tied up all the time, so it takes much longer to wash than the average tail.  Once I brought him inside, I wanted to test out how well the conditioner worked, so before I sprayed anything in, I made one big brush stroke from top to bottom and the comb slid right through.  I couldn’t believe it.  That has NEVER happened even with spray on detangler, let alone without it.  It made blow-drying so easy since I didn’t have knots to pick through.

I did finish off with the Moisture Maniac Mane & Tail Detangling Infusion spray on conditioner for good measure and loved how his tail just felt natural when it was all dry.  Everything else I’ve tried made it sticky, waxy, tacky, slimy, or all of the above.  It just felt clean and natural, which is what I was going for.  And the glimmer it left was pretty amazing too.  His hair is sort of transparent, so it’s really hard to get a shine.  I’ll probably never even need to use the whitening product at this rate.”

We have a winner! Finally!

I know, we are two days late, but you have no idea how hard time we had to make up our minds. Thank you everyone for submitting your fabulous ideas. We knew you wouldn’t disappoint us. We laughed so hard we cried  and we had really difficult time pick a winner. If we could have a middle name – actually couple of them – we would.

From 138 names we have narrowed down the pool to five

Downstairs Care - Rhianna Lindsay

Undercarriage Wash - Lea Rough

Down Under Care – Nicole Lane

PeePeeLicious - Kathy Cardon

and ultimately ended up selecting Smeg-U-Later by April Rota – not unanimously by any means lol.  April will be getting the first Smeg-U-Later bottle. Congrats!

Why Smeg-U-Later? Not only it fits into the family of funky EcoLicious names, it has got the potential for becoming an actual generic product name. The way we see it, you will be asking for a smegulator not a sheath cleaner in the near future. The same way you ask for Kleenex instead of a tissue. Ambitious? You betcha.

Now we`re off to design a label, produce the formula, pour, sticker and launch, so you too can say Smegma See You Later. Naturally of course. Coming beginning of March.

Smegma See You Later

Love ❤❤❤
