“Love. Love. Love. this tack store. employees are always helpful and they carry a wide selection of new items as well as consignment items. I can't say enough good things!”
100% All Natural Fly Spray in a Normal Version and Sensitive Horse Version.
**Notes: the Normal Version does contain NEEM Oil as it is a great insect repellent and if you have not smelled NEEM Oil before, it has a smoky scent. Our Normal fly spray does have some citrus overtones - but you may still smell the NEEM Oil.
Our 100% Natural Fly Spray is a Coat Shine and Insect Repellent! Easy to spray on and brush out to impart a beautiful shine on your horse's coat.
Our 100% Natural Fly Spray was made specifically to be a Bi-Phase Product - a blend of aloe vera, water and Chrysanthemum Extract. The Aloe Vera provides skin conditioning and Chrysanthemum is known to soothe and revitalize skin, and it has natural insect repellent properties (pyrethrins come from some species of Chrysanthemums, the flowers provide insect repellency properties).
This water phase is combined with an oil phase that contains Natural Silicone Alternatives to provide coat shine without any heavy build up typical of plant oils and silicones. We also include Fractionated Coconut Oil and Sunflower Oil to provide additional coat conditioning. Natural Vitamin E provides additional coat conditioning.
They key ingredients providing the insect repellency are comprised of a Synergistic Blend of Plant Extracts and Essential Oils - such as blending Andiroba Seed Oil (harvested in Brazil, and used in that region as an insect repellent) with Neem and essential oils of Lemongrass, Eucalyptus Citridoria, Copaiba and Geranium. For the Sensitive version, we omitted the Neem Oil and Lemongrass - they are very effective at insect repellency, but can cause irritation to horses that have skin sensitivities. The Andiroba in our Sensitive Version is blended with Copaiba, Cedarwood, Geranium, Eucalyptus Citridoria and Palmarosa to create good insect repellancy with no skin irritants. See the full ingredient list below for each.
We do not use Citronella (can cause skin irritation), No Witch Hazel (an astringent), No Vinegar...and of course absolutely no toxic or harmful ingredients. Just as an FYI: if your fly spray has an EPA Registration...it is NOT Natural and contains EPA pesticides/insecticides.
