As horse owners, we all want to give our equine friends the best possible care, and that includes their grooming routine. A key ingredient in ShowBarn Secret Indian Lilac 2 in 1 Shampoo that helps to promote healthy hair and skin is Argan oil. In this article, we'll take a closer look at Argan oil, its benefits for horses, and why we included it in our signature shampoo.


Argan oil is derived from the kernels of the Argan tree, which is native to Morocco. It has been used for centuries in traditional Moroccan medicine and cooking, and in recent years has gained popularity in the beauty industry due to its numerous benefits for hair and skin. Argan oil is rich in fatty acids, vitamin E, and antioxidants, all of which help to nourish and protect the skin and hair.


When it comes to horse grooming, Argan oil is an excellent ingredient to look for in shampoos and conditioners. Here are some of the benefits it can provide:


Moisturizing: Argan oil is a natural moisturizer that can help to hydrate dry, flaky skin and brittle hair. This is especially important in the winter months or in dry climates where the air can be harsh on the skin and hair.


Conditioning: Argan oil is also an excellent conditioner, helping to smooth and soften hair and make it more manageable. This can be particularly helpful for horses with thick or unruly manes and tails.


Anti-inflammatory: Argan oil has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to soothe irritated skin and reduce inflammation caused by insect bites or allergies.


Protection: The antioxidants in Argan oil help to protect the skin and hair from damage caused by environmental stressors such as UV rays and pollution.


At ShowBarn Secret, we're committed to providing the best possible grooming products for your horse, which is why we included Argan oil in our Indian Lilac 2 in 1 Shampoo. Along with other natural ingredients such as neem extract, chamomile extract, and jojoba oil, our shampoo is designed to clean, condition, and protect your horse's skin and coat, leaving them looking and feeling their best.


In conclusion, Argan oil is a valuable ingredient in horse grooming products due to its moisturizing, conditioning, anti-inflammatory, and protective properties. When shopping for grooming products for your horse, be sure to look for products that contain this beneficial oil, such as ShowBarn Secret Indian Lilac 2 in 1 Shampoo. Your horse will thank you for it!
