FAQ
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about the Summer Care Lotion.
Is this lotion only suitable for horses with sweet itch? No. The lotion was developed for horses with sensitive or highly stressed skin in summer. Sweet itch is the most common use case, but not the only one. It is also suitable for caring for dry, flaky, or irritated skin.
What is behind the bacteria in the lotion? The lotion is based on Lactobacillus Ferment, a ferment derived from lactic acid bacteria. The bacteria themselves are no longer alive in it. We use what is produced during the fermentation process. In skincare, Lactobacillus Ferment is used as a nourishing ingredient.
Which horse breeds is the lotion suitable for? Originally developed for Icelandic horses with sweet itch, it is suitable for all horse breeds with sensitive or allergy-prone skin.
How long does one bottle last?
With 2 to 3 applications per week, the 500 ml bottle typically lasts for several weeks. The 2.5-liter refill pouch is designed for care throughout the entire season.
Can I combine the lotion with other Hestakofi products?
Yes. Our products are coordinated with one another. The Summer Care Lotion with probiotic bacteria is particularly suitable for the mane crest, flanks, belly midline, and tail base. The CBD lotion is a suitable supplement for the face and ears. All lotions are non-greasy and do not soil blankets.
What is the difference between the 2.5-liter refill pouch and the standard bottle?
The contents are identical. The refill pouch is intended for those who use the lotion consistently throughout the entire season and wish to reduce packaging. Simply pour into the original bottle.

SUMMER - BODY LOTION



Hestakofi Summer Care Lotion with Lactobacillus Ferment
When black flies start swarming, a strenuous time begins for many horses. The bites itch, the horse rubs against fences and trees, and the skin becomes repeatedly chafed. This is pure stress for both horse and owner.
I developed the Summer Care Lotion specifically for these stressed areas. It applies a nourishing film to the skin. At the heart of the formula is Lactobacillus Ferment, a ferment derived from lactic acid bacteria, which is used in skincare as a nourishing ingredient. It is complemented by calendula, true chamomile, witch hazel, eucalyptus, tea tree oil, and zinc oxide.
The lotion is suitable for the mane, dock of the tail, flanks, belly midline, and face. Please avoid the eye area. Originally developed for Icelandic horses, it is suitable for every breed.
Handmade near Hamburg.
