Equinature About Us

Wednesday, May 22, 2013

Our Company and Our Products are Dedicated to the Health of Your Horse and Pet.

How We Started

More and more consumers are demanding safer products for their horse and the environment. I had great concerns myself about mixing products and causing chemical irritations to my horse, worried about the safety of the ingredients I was using. I started making my own products and am committed to the quality, purity and effectiveness of these products.

Allergy Note

We do not use any nut oils in our products as many animals and people have allergies to nuts.

We prefer seed oils, a much less common allergenic.

But use caution. Animals and people can be allergic to plants.

Use common sense. If a rash develops, discontinue use and seek advice.

Our Products are Different!

Equinature products are made from only natural vegetable and plant based resources providing a healthy alternative to other commercial products.

About Our Business

About Our Business...

in 1997 the Equinature products line was started under the name Body Kneads Muscle Therapy. We started making products for our human clients. The idea: to give them a custom product for their specific needs, taking into consideration allergies and toxic ingredients that were common with conventional products on the market. Since many of our clients also owned horses and the products were so well recieved we were often asked "Can I use this on my horse too?" Our products worked so well for our human customers they wanted to share the natural goodness with their equine companions too. We started thinking more and more about the needs in the equine industry and now, after establishing the effectiveness of our products for many years, we are proud to have this line of products and to offer it to consumers through retail and online sales. We guarantee your satifaction or you can return the product for a refund.

EQUINATURE^TM Provides a line of essential, daily care products no horse should be without.

Chemicals Are Everywhere!

Did You Know...Chemicals are everywhere! They are used without our knowledge. They are harmful and damage our bodies, cells, organs and the environment. There are no regulations against using toxic or cancer causing chemicals in skin care products for people or animals. The FDA has approved certain chemicals but there are no guidelines for their use. As a result, many products contain multiple ingredients or large amounts of ingredients that can be toxic and harmful to the body’s systems and cells. Please be aware that many products labeled as “natural “ or “organic” can still contain harmful chemicals that can cause problems such as neurological symptoms, digestive problems, skin and hair problems, headaches and rashes. Manufacturers are not required to list all of the ingredients on their labels if the products are intended for topical use on animals.

Some dangerous chemical ingredients to avoid are: Parabens ( methyl, ethyl & butyl-), artificial colors & fragrance, chemical preservatives, and alcohols, Insecticides and pesticides of any kind. Even permethrin and organic pyrethrum from Chrysanthemums is still harmful and should not contact the skin or be inhaled. Read manufacturer's warning labels carefully. If it is hazardous to humans don’t use it on your horse either.
