As a colour is highlighted when applied on healthy horn, Equinail have added keratin to the watery-based colour that does not attack the horn or the environment with solvents. Keratin is one of the only horn enrichers that does not harm the product grip. It is made of a long chain of amino acids. It can be found on the epithelium cells that constitute the skin superficial layer (epidermis). It is particularly abundant on the skin superficial layer, on the dander (hairs, lashes, nails). Those structures, that are rich in keratin, are so called horned. The role of the keratin, that is fibrous, very resistant as well as very flexible, is to participate to the cytoskeleton. This is a group of filaments and tubes that support the cell. The keratin also ensures an efficient protection against external aggressions. The keratin is insoluble and can be found on the epidermis of some animals, mainly mammals, as it ensures them a waterproof skin. Sometimes, when a friction is too important, keratin can appear on the skin surface: this is horn.

As no regulation exists regarding animal cosmetics, these products meet the cosmetic norms applied to humans in Europe.

Equinail is a 100% French product, made in the centre region named the cosmetic valley.

Directions for use:

Well shake before use. Apply a first layer on your horse hooves with the very resistant anti-rust silk brush applicator that is attached to the cap. Even if the polish is water-based and non-aggressive for the skin, do not apply on the coronal band. Let it dry a few seconds, and then apply a second layer and let it dry during 10 minutes. The more patient you will be, the more it will last. Wash the brush after each use.
Recap the flask carefully and keep it away from children and frost.
Equinail dries in few seconds for a perfect shine. It doesn’t attract dust and can be removed easily with some hot water, soap and a brush, or by letting your horse free.
You can polish up to 4 to 5 horses and 8 to 10 ponies with a can, and then buy a refill that you can use with the brush.
Once opened, the product can be preserved a year away from frost.
