fter a day in the saddle, most of us jump into the shower, grab the soap, shampoo and conditioner
without a second thought. I know I did, until a few years ago when I realized that I couldn’t identify, let alone pronounce most of the ingredients listed on the labels. Tat prompted me to do a little research, and I was seriously taken aback by my discovery! What I discovered made me think twice about what I was slathering on my body.
Most shampoos are made up of “industrial strength products,” and there is very little regulation regarding what can actually go into body care products. Many ingredients are identified as
carcinogens, pesticides, endocrine and reproductive disruptors, plasticizers, degreasers and surfactants and actually dry and damage the hair, causing hair loss and skin irritation.
A quick label check of my equine grooming products really caused me to rethink the safety of what I was showering on my horses, as well as what I was leaving in the paddock, pasture and my septic tank.
