Equimins Lice & Mite Lotion

Clear away irritating skin pests and restore continuous pasture comfort with Equimins Lice & Mite Lotion. Specially formulated for horses and ponies suffering from seasonal ectoparasites, this highly targeted, thick squeeze-on lotion is the ideal soothing solution for protecting sensitive skin, broken hair coats, and heavy native leg feathers from persistent mite and lice infestations.

Engineered around an effective, soothing matrix of Benzyl benzoate and skin-conditioning ingredients, this dense topical lotion penetrates deeply into thick coats and heavy cob feathers. It forms a high-performance protective barrier that halts parasite mobility and disrupts their environment on contact. Free from harsh agricultural organophosphate poisons, the nourishing base works to soften stubborn scabs and lift crusty scurf while deeply moisturising the underlying skin.

🐴 Why Equimins Lice & Mite Lotion Is a Stable Essential:

• 🔬 Proven Benzyl Benzoate Action: Utilises a highly effective, trusted compound known for rapidly clearing biting lice and burrowing feather mites.
• ✨ Perfect for Heavy Feathers: The rich, targeted lotion consistency is specifically engineered to stick to the hair shaft and glide deep down into dense feathers (such as Cobs, Shires, and traditional native breeds) where mites live.
• 🛡️ Fully Competition Legal: Contains absolutely zero banned substances under Jockey Club and FEI guidelines, allowing you to manage your horse's skin right up to show day.
• 🧴 Soothing Skin & Scab Relief: Softens dry, itchy crusts and aids the natural peeling of scabs while reducing stable rubbing and leg-stamping behaviour.
• 👐 Squeeze-Bottle Precision: The non-aerosol lotion formula eliminates noisy airborne overspray, making it ideal for nervous or spray-shy horses.

📋 The Intensive 7-Day Application Protocol

1. Prepare the Affected Area: Ensure the hair coat or leg feathers are thoroughly clean, free from loose stable debris, and completely dry before application.
2. Perform a Patch Test: Benzyl benzoate can be active on highly sensitive broken skin. Always perform a small 24-hour patch test on a small area before full application.
3. Protect Your Hands: Always slip on a pair of rubber or disposable gloves before application to prevent personal skin absorption.
4. Apply with Precision: Squeeze the lotion directly onto your gloved palms and rub it thoroughly into the roots of the feathers, mane, tail base, or affected skin zones.
5. Maintain the Schedule: Apply the lotion twice daily for a continuous 7-day period to thoroughly manage emerging cycles.
