Product Information
Full details
This Effax Ocean Star Spray Shampoo is designed for horse and pony owners seeking an easier, more effective way to clean their animal's coat. Its key benefit is the convenient spray application, reducing mess and effort compared to traditional shampoos. A potential caveat is that it requires initial dampening of the coat for optimal use. The shampoo cleans deep into the coat, maintains the skin's protective film, and leaves a long-lasting, shimmering shine thanks to its pearl extracts. It is suitable for all coat colours.

FAQs
How do I apply the Effax Ocean Star Spray Shampoo?
First, ensure the horse's coat is damp. Then, spray the shampoo onto the damp areas, rub it in briefly, and rinse thoroughly with water.
Is this shampoo suitable for sensitive skin?
The shampoo is designed to clean without damaging the skin's protective film. However, if your horse has particularly sensitive skin, it is always recommended to perform a patch test on a small area first.
Can I use this shampoo on dark-coloured horses?
Yes, the Effax Ocean Star Spray Shampoo is suitable for all coat colours, including dark shades. The pearl extracts enhance the natural sheen of any colour.
How long does the shiny effect last?
The product description states that the unique, shimmering shine is guaranteed to last for a long time, enhancing the coat's appearance well after rinsing.
What should I do if the spray doesn't work?
Check if the nozzle is clogged. Try rinsing it with warm water or gently clearing it with a fine needle. Ensure the bottle is held upright during use.
Does this shampoo require extensive rinsing?
Yes, thorough rinsing is important to remove all traces of the shampoo and ensure the best results for shine and to prevent any potential residue on the coat or tack.
What is the volume of the product?
This particular product is the 500ml bottle.
Troubleshooting
Spray nozzle is clogged
Rinse the nozzle with warm water. If blockage persists, soak the nozzle in warm water for 10-15 minutes or carefully clear the opening with a fine needle or pin.
Shampoo not lathering well
Ensure the coat is sufficiently damp before application. Gently rub the shampoo in for a short period to help create lather.
Shine is not as expected
Rinse the coat thoroughly to remove all shampoo residue. Ensure the product was applied evenly and rubbed in sufficiently. The shine is often more pronounced on a clean, well-brushed coat.
Skin irritation observed
Discontinue use immediately and rinse the affected area thoroughly with clean water. Consult a veterinarian if irritation persists. Consider performing a patch test on a small area before full application in the future.
