Talc-free. All-natural.

Your horse's skin is under constant assault — moisture trapped under tack, fungal spores thriving in humid conditions, sweat that never fully dries. Restorative Powder is a proactive, talc-free formula that creates an inhospitable environment for the organisms behind rain rot, fungal flare-ups, and persistent odor.

A proprietary blend of Bentonite Clay, Arrowroot, and Cornstarch rapidly wicks away sweat and excess moisture, keeping the skin cool and dry even during hard work. Neem and Rosemary oils deliver immediate topical comfort for hives, sweet itch, and seasonal skin irritation — no steroids, no harsh chemicals.

It also doubles as a waterless coat cleanser. Curry it into a dirty coat to lift sweat marks and restore a deep, natural shine in minutes — no hose required.

Why It Works
  • Fungal & Bacterial Shield: Eliminates the damp conditions where rain rot, dermatitis, and odor-causing bacteria thrive.
  • Friction Guard: Apply under saddle pads, boots, and blankets to protect against rubs and hot spots.
  • Rapid Moisture Control: Absorbs sweat on contact, keeping skin dry and comfortable between rides.
  • Waterless Coat Cleanser: Lifts dirt and sweat marks to reveal a brilliant shine — no hose required.

 

Ingredients

Proprietary blend of Sodium Bicarbonate, Bentonite Clay, Arrowroot Powder, Cornstarch, Neem Oil, Rosemary Oil.

How to Use
  1. Skin Application: Pour a small amount into your palm and work gently against the direction of hair growth to reach the skin.
  2. Coat Refresh: Apply generously and curry in thoroughly to remove sweat marks and bring out a high-gloss finish.
  3. Under Gear: Sprinkle inside boots, wraps, helmets, and under saddle pads or blankets to control moisture and odor buildup.
  4. Spot Relief: Apply directly to irritated areas, hives, or sweet itch for fast topical comfort.

Still early in treatment. Tail scratching seems a little better. Waiting to see if it helps hair loss on chest and girth area.

Love, love this powder. From a dusting after a ride where rinsing off isnt an option, I sprinkle this on a rub in his coat. I have had good success with treating "hotspots" as well

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I use the Powder vs the Clay?
Use the Powder for moisture control and prevention — under tack, on areas prone to sweat buildup, or for active fungal issues like rain rot. Use the Clay for wounds and skin damage that needs a protective shell.
Can I use this under saddle pads, boots, and wraps?
That's one of the best uses for it. Sprinkle inside boots, wraps, and under pads to absorb sweat and prevent the damp conditions where fungal and bacterial issues thrive.
Will this help with sweet itch and hives?
Yes — apply directly to irritated areas for fast topical relief. The bentonite clay and sodium bicarbonate calm reactive skin while the neem and rosemary oils address the underlying environment.
Is it safe for dogs?
Yes. Use it the same way — for skin issues, under collars, or to absorb moisture in skin folds.
Can I use it as a coat refresher between baths?
Absolutely. Apply generously and curry through to remove sweat marks and bring out a high-gloss finish. No water required.
