Your horse's skin is home to a community of microorganisms - a natural microbiome that acts as the first line of defence against environmental challenges.
As we head into the wettest months, that protective layer is under more pressure than usual. Mud, prolonged moisture, longer hours rugged and stabled - all create conditions where harmful bacteria and fungi can take hold.
Most traditional skin disinfectants work by killing all bacteria present, including both the harmful 'bad' kind, and the "good" bacteria that naturally protect your horse's skin. The result is a surface that's temporarily clean, but unprotected. Harmful bacteria are also tough survivors, they often grow back first, sometimes more aggressively than before.
Cavalor's approach is different.
Derma Wash, Derma Spray and DryFeet are formulated with pre- and probiotics. The probiotics introduce live beneficial bacteria; the prebiotics feed them. Together, they support the good bacteria already on your horse's skin so they can do their job - maintaining a balanced microbiome, reinforcing the skin's natural barrier, and helping crowd out harmful organisms over time.
The result is skin that's not just clean, but balanced - and more resilient through the challenges of winter.
