What does it contain?
Rendered Lard Treated at 130°C
Lard (purified animal fat) is rich in saturated and unsaturated fatty acids (palmitic, stearic, oleic). The heat treatment at 130°C removes impurities and microorganisms, improving stability and shelf life. Functionally, it creates a dense, protective lipid base that adheres well to the hoof wall, reducing water loss and softening dry horn. It also serves as a natural carrier for other liposoluble active ingredients (oils, vitamins, waxes).
Soybean Oil
A source of linoleic acid (omega-6), oleic acid, and lecithin. It nourishes the horn, promoting cohesion between keratinized cells, and increases flexibility and strength. Lecithin acts as an emulsifier and penetrant, helping other oils diffuse into the inner layers of the hoof wall.
Shea Butter
Rich in unsaponifiable fractions (phytosterols, tocopherols, triterpenes) and vitamins A, E, and F. Provides an emollient, antioxidant, and regenerative effect on hoof keratin. Restores the natural lipid barrier, preventing cracks and loss of elasticity caused by dehydration.
Beeswax
A blend of fatty acid esters and natural alcohols with film-forming and water-repellent properties. Creates a breathable barrier that protects the hoof from sand, dust, and external agents, preventing moisture and bacteria penetration. Enhances shine and surface cohesion of the horn.
Essential Oils (Lavender and others)
Contain linalool, geraniol, beta-caryophyllene, and terpineol, offering antimicrobial, soothing, and deodorizing effects. Help maintain a hygienically stable environment around the hoof and provide a pleasant natural fragrance.
Vitamin E (Tocopherol)
A powerful fat-soluble antioxidant that protects hoof lipids from oxidation and environmental damage. Improves formulation stability and supports cellular repair processes.
TYPE OF HORSES RECOMMENDED FOR USE
Recommended Horses for Use
Sport and Competition Horses
Perfect for horses involved in disciplines such as show jumping, dressage, endurance, reining, and sport trekking. Frequent use helps prevent stress and micro-injuries to the hooves caused by intense work and hard surfaces. Maintains proper hydration and flexibility, essential for horses working on sand or synthetic surfaces.
Stabled or Boxed Horses
Ideal for horses spending long hours indoors or on bedding that may overly dry or soften the hoof frog. Prevents dryness from environmental dehydration or maceration from moisture.
Leisure, School, or Light Work Horses
Perfect for horses engaged in moderate daily activity (lessons, equestrian tourism, light work). Keeps hooves healthy and resilient over time, reducing the need for corrective treatments.
Shoed or Barefoot Horses – Suitable for Both
Shoed horses: protects the white line and reduces cracking around the nails.
Barefoot horses: keeps the horn flexible and well-hydrated, supporting natural wear.
