Some horses simply need a little more consideration when it comes to what goes on their skin.
That's why we created Coat Elixir Comfort.
It delivers the same multi-tasking benefits as our Original Coat Elixir, but with a blend specifically created for horses with sensitive, reactive or itch-prone skin.
Rather than coating the hair in silicone for a temporary slick finish, Comfort uses lightweight botanical oils to condition and soften the hair while caring for the skin underneath.
So you don't have to choose between a beautifully shiny coat and a formula designed with sensitive skin in mind.
Coat Elixir Comfort contains no silicones or artificial fragrance.
Instead, we've chosen naturally derived ingredients that condition the coat without leaving behind a heavy, artificial slick feeling or product build-up.
The result is a soft, healthy-looking, seriously glossy coat — with a little extra consideration for sensitive skin.
Use regularly to maintain coat condition or whenever you want an extra hit of shine.
Coat Elixir can also be applied directly to the coat, mane or tail.
A little goes a long way: rub a tiny amount between your hands before smoothing over the hair.
As this is an oil-based product, use sparingly and avoid applying neat before prolonged exposure to strong sunlight.
Calendula Oil
A hero ingredient for Comfort, calendula is traditionally used to soothe and care for dry, sensitive skin.
Bisabolol
A concentrated botanical active known for its soothing properties and particularly well suited to sensitive skin.
Avocado Oil
Rich and conditioning, helping nourish both the coat and skin while leaving hair soft and glossy.
Grapeseed Oil
A lightweight conditioning oil naturally rich in vitamin E and fatty acids.
Fractionated Coconut Oil
Lightweight and easily spread through the coat, helping soften and condition without heaviness.
Ho Leaf, Jasmine & Sandalwood Essential Oils
A carefully selected aromatic blend giving Comfort its naturally beautiful scent without artificial fragrance.
100% naturally derived. Vegan. Cruelty-free. Silicone-free.
What's the difference between Original Coat Elixir and Comfort?
Both lift dust and grime, condition the hair and leave an incredible natural shine.
Comfort has been specifically formulated with calendula, avocado oil and bisabolol for horses with sensitive, dry or itch-prone skin.
Will Comfort stop my horse itching?
Comfort is a cosmetic grooming product rather than a veterinary treatment, so persistent or unexplained itching should always be investigated.
It has, however, been specifically formulated to care for sensitive and itch-prone skin, with ingredients chosen for their soothing and conditioning properties.
My horse doesn't have sensitive skin. Can I still use it?
Absolutely. Comfort is a brilliant everyday coat conditioner in its own right. If you love the formula or its gorgeous natural scent, there's no reason you can't choose it over Original.
Should I patch test it?
Yes. We recommend patch testing before first use, particularly on horses known to have sensitive skin.
How often can I use it?
As often as you like. For maintaining coat and skin condition, we recommend around 2–3 times a week.
Will it make the coat greasy?
No. Comfort is made predominantly from lightweight plant oils and, when used as directed, leaves the coat soft and glossy rather than heavy or greasy.
Can I use it before and after clipping?
Absolutely. It's particularly lovely for maintaining freshly clipped coats. If using before clipping, always make sure your horse is completely dry before clipping.
Is it vegan and cruelty-free?
Yes. Coat Elixir Comfort contains no animal-derived ingredients and is cruelty-free.
