Skin care, medicare shampoo Cavalor ® Derma Wash is a deep cleaning shampoo containing chlorhexidine, used to wash horses that have flaky skin, dull coats or a skin condition. It’s the ideal shampoo to wash new arrivals in the yard. Don’t forget: a horse’s coat mirrors its internal health. A dull coat can be caused by a problem from within, causing nutrients to not be properly absorbed. Cavalor ® Derma Wash and Derma Spray are pH neutral. Contrary to our skin, which has a natural acidity of 4,0 – 5,5, the optimal horse skin pH ranges between 7,0 and 7,4. Products with a low pH, such as human shampoo, have a hydrophilic nature. They attract moisture and dehydrate the horse’s skin, resulting in a dry, flaky skin. Bleach and powerful degreasers have a high pH – because of their hydrophobic nature they will absorb the natural tallow making the coat dull and the skin dry, sensitive and susceptible to infections. Cavalor ® Derma wash is enriched with glycerin. This will guarantee that the skin is well hydrated and the coat will have a healthy shine. Besides its use as a shampoo, Cavalor ® Derma wash can also be used to clean blankets, saddle pads, leather, etc. To clean small wounds or genitals, we recommend using Cavalor ® Derma Spray.
Directions for use
Apply a small amount (± 30 ml) of Cavalor ® Derma Wash in a pail of lukewarm water, and apply directly on the whole body or affected skin with a sponge. Let it soak for a short while and carefully rinse with water afterwards. To avoid skin problems, it can be a good idea to wash the horse with Cavalor ® Derma wash monthly, or after intensive contact with other horses (camps or walks for instance). Cavalor ® Derma Wash can also be used to disinfect your tack or other equipment. Use 30 ml of Cavalor ® Derma Wash in your washing machine instead of detergent to clean textile. Use Cavalor ® Derma Spray to clean wounds or genitals.
