Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How long should I leave the wash on my horse for maximum results?
A: For the enzymes to effectively break down microbes, it is critical to allow the lather to soak on the skin for 3 to 5 minutes before rinsing. This "dwell time" is essential for the LP3 system to fully neutralize bacteria and fungi.

Q: Is this wash safe for horses with sensitive skin or chronic allergies?
A: Yes, Zymox is specifically designed for sensitive equine skin. Because it is free of harsh chemicals and uses naturally occurring milk enzymes, it provides relief for conditions like sweet itch without causing further dryness or irritation.
