Revolutionary LP3 Enzyme System

At the heart of this wash is the patented LP3 Enzyme System. These naturally occurring enzymes, found in milk, offer a potent yet safe antimicrobial defense. For centuries, the healing properties of milk have been recognized, and the LP3 system harnesses these precise protein and enzyme components:

• Lactoferrin: An iron-binding protein that naturally inhibits microbial growth and destroys harmful microorganisms by limiting their access to essential iron.
• Lysozyme: A powerful enzyme that effectively targets and eliminates bacteria by breaking down their cell walls.
• Lactoperoxidase: A milk peroxidase that, in conjunction with hydrogen peroxide, creates ions that disrupt microbial metabolic pathways, offering broad-spectrum protection.

Key Benefits & Features:

• Gentle Cleansing: Effectively washes away impurities without stripping natural skin oils.
• Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Action: Combats a wide range of bacteria and fungi.
• Targeted Relief: Supports skin health and can be beneficial for conditions like ringworm in horses or as a component of sweet itch relief wash strategies.

• Safe & Non-Interfering: Will not interfere with systemic medications.
• Formulated for Horses: Specifically designed to meet the unique needs of equine skin.
• Made in the USA.

Give your horse the ultimate defense for a healthy, radiant coat. This wash is a crucial step in any comprehensive equine skincare routine.
