Did you know...the U.S Food and Drug Administration does not regulate the ingredients companies use in their products nor what they put on the labels of their products, including topical use products, not made for humans. The current grooming and wash products you are buying and using on your horse(s) are not federally obligated and have no federal duty to their customers to inform them of what is in their product. Exceptions, of course, if the product and its contents are extremely toxic material subject to special regulation for extreme disclosure handling instructions.

Resource scarcity, including education, in the horse industry and 21st century harmful misinformation caravans can make horse management feel in disarmament.​ An uninformed caretaker can unwittingly create life shortening circumstances for their animal by using one wrong product (especially in exclusivity for a lifespan). A misinformed caretaker can wreak havoc through an ecosystem by carelessly choosing to use what is extremely toxic to life. Due to a misplaced reliance on carcinogenic ingredients, abusive business practices, and misleading industry standards, loving horse owners can spray onto their horse an early death as a symptom all too real of diseases caused by the market's most leading and popular brands.

​​​As a manufacturer of beauty and wash products (important aspects of affecting health), sourcing ingredients puts a person in a position of needing to understand not only chemical language, but reactant chemistry. Ingredients used for personal care and cosmetics industry to make products for topical application can be understood using languages of chemistry (process and a designation of processes, starting material, reactions, and reactants, etc.). Extracts of ingredients and chemicals can be complex in name telling you the story about who that ingredient is and where it came from. The terminology used to understand chemicals is often provided via nomenclature agencies (federations) like the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). An ingredient (chemical) can often be understood in word "parts". Once step more, the body of knowledge to understand what the reality of making a chemical formula known in the market as a personal care product, like body cleaning products or horse wash products, is even more vigorous. Ingredients put into the products you use are chosen specialized for the desired results of the product. A formula maker is up to themselves. Understanding chemical language can put you in a confident position when purchasing products made for topical application.
