Can I Use Beautify on My Horse in the Sun?

Yes. Beautify can be used on your horse in the sun.

Two questions we regularly get asked are whether the oils in Beautify could cause a horse to burn in the sun, and whether applying an oil will make their coat or skin feel hotter.

The answer to both is no — when Beautify is used as directed.

Will Beautify make my horse burn in the sun?

No.

This comes down to the type of oils used in Beautify and what happens to them once they're applied.

Beautify is formulated using nourishing oils that are designed to be absorbed into the hair and skin rather than sitting on the surface as a heavy, sticky coating.

That's an important difference.

Some cheaper coating-type oils can leave a greasy residue sitting on the outside of the hair. That's not how Beautify is designed to work.

When Beautify is applied correctly, the oils are absorbed, leaving the hair conditioned rather than coated in a layer of greasy oil.

So you're not leaving your horse standing in the sunshine covered in an oily surface.

Will Beautify make my horse hotter in the sun?

No — and the reason is much the same.

Beautify doesn't create a thick oily coating over your horse's coat. Think about using a good-quality dry oil on your own hair. The oil is absorbed into and conditions the hair; you aren't left with a heavy layer of oil sitting on the surface that suddenly makes your head hotter when you walk outside.

Beautify works on the same principle.

The nourishing oils are there to condition the hair and skin, not coat them in a sticky residue.

So, can I use Beautify during summer?

Absolutely.

Beautify can form part of your horse's regular grooming routine throughout the summer, including when they're turned out in the sunshine.

The important difference is the formulation.

Beautify nourishes the hair and skin rather than coating them in a layer of cheap, greasy oil.

That's why you get the shine without the sticky finish — and without needing to worry about your horse becoming hotter simply because you've used Beautify.
