Anyone who owns a light coloured horse knows it’s next to impossible to get and keep them clean. We’ve  took this challenge seriously and came up with a solution that was tested, approved and named by our customers.

You’ve been asking for it so here it is.  A whitener powered by nature  that removes manure, urine and grass stains without chemicals, bleach or peroxide. Our customers tested it, and the results literally took our breath away.

Blinded by the White Total Body Whitening Treatment uses the natural lightening power of lemon juice and lemon peel oil. Combined with glycerine it whitens, brightens and conditions the coat, mane and tail. Like other EcoLicious products, it does double duty. It’s really important for us to consider not only superior performance, but how to add value to our products. For example, our new whitener product also conditions the hair, and its lemon properties not only remove the ugliest of stains but also provide uplifting lemon aromatherapy that doesn’t attract insects.

The product is designed to work with EcoLicious Equestrian’s popular Squeaky Green & Clean Deep Cleansing and Conditioning Shampoo and Silky Rinse Out Moisturizing Conditioner for Coat, Mane &Tail.

This is what Sherri,our tester,  said about this product : “It was easy to use and in the time I have owned my horse, I have never seen his tail so white. I was astounded. In fact, I honestly didn’t know how light it could be. I love that it is all-natural. It can’t hurt anything and I don’t end up with chemical stains on my clothes either.

If a spray on detangler is part of your regular grooming routine, you got to try our EcoLicious Moisture Maniac Detangling Infusion. It’s packed with 100% natural and naturally derived ingredients that condition and detangle your horse’s mane and tail without drying it out. Panthenol & Silk Powder derived from pure Silk Worm Cocoon help restore natural luminosity, retain moisture and nourish your horse’s mane & tail hair. Certified Organic Hemp Oil & Sunflower Seed Oil softens and smoothes while protecting fragile hair from breakage and the reflective properties of Silk Powder act as a natural sunscreen. It’s silicone free. Why? Even though silicone is used in majority of mane & tail products on the market, it does in fact damage hair in a long term. It clogs pores, thus prevents hair from breathing and without any oxygen, the hair cannot regenerate.

Did I mention that it smells heavenly?  Essential Oil of Sweet Orange is known in both equine and human aromatherapy for its mood uplifting properties and it also makes a great conditioner.  Warning : Horses love the scent and might try to eat the bottle, so keep an eye on it. And don’t worry! It won’t attract bugs – unlike us and our horses, the bugs don’t dig citrus scents.

Like all our products – Moisture Maniac is packaged in 100% recycled plastic and the bottle can be recycled once you’re done with it.

And now you can try Moisture Maniac Detangling Infusion for FREE (retail value $22.95), if your order $50 or more. Flat shipping fee $15 anywhere in the US and Canada. Promo code: frMM11. Promo offer will expire on February 8th, 2011.

Have you ever wondered what it is you’re grooming your horse with? What is it made of?

Certain products in our grooming totes can be outright hazardous to the health of our animals, our earth, and our health. To stop the toxic overload we need to be more aware about our everyday choices: our horses & barn included.

So… what’s in your mane & tail conditioner or coat shine?
Most likely SILICONES.

Silicones are synthetic by-products coat the skin, trapping anything beneath it, and do not allow the skin to breathe (much like plastic wrap would do.) When skin treated with silicones get exposed to sweat, it gets irritated. Surprise – horses are sweating machines! Certain synthetic emollients are known to be carcinogenic and may accumulate in the liver and lymph nodes. And they aren’t good for our earth either – they aren’t biodegradable.

Instead of silicone based products try our customer’s favorite, silicone free De-Stress Intensive Restructuring Treatment made from 100% natural ingredients.

And what’s hiding in your horse shampoo?
SLS aka SODIUM LAURYL SUPHATE

Severe skin irritant toxic to fish and wildlife that negatively effects central nervous system. Try our SLS free Squeaky Green & Clean biodegradable shampoo.

In your hoof oil  or conditioner?
MINERAL OIL

What is it? Petroleum by-product that coats hoof  & skin like plastic, clogging the pores, preventing them from breathing. And without oxygen, your horse’s hoofs won’t regenerate.  Mineral oil irritates & promotes skin disorders and  is often used in  products that suppose to help get rid of the itch. Go figure. And remember : baby oil is 100% pure mineral oil.

All of the above products usually also contain parabens. PARABENS (methyl, propyl, butyl, and ethyl) are synthetic preservatives used to extend shelf life of grooming products. It’s toxic and can cause allergic reactions. At EcoLicious Equestrian we uses rosemary to preserve our products naturally.
