4 Shampoos – 4 Reasons Why

We all know that there are many different types of hair. Where we come from, the weather we live in, our health, what we eat and drink… everything has an impact on our hair. That’s why, no matter which supermarket you step into around the world, you’ll find an endless range of shampoos – each one designed for a different purpose or hair type.

And it’s not just the hair itself that matters. The scalp needs nurturing too, because healthy skin is the foundation for strong, shiny hair growth.

Now, you might be wondering if a beauty columnist accidentally wandered onto the wrong page – but no! This is simply the introduction to an article on why Rapide offers four different shampoos for horses, and why choosing the right one makes all the difference.

Let’s start with Rapide Derma Shampoo.
Just as with people, horses have different skin types. People with flaky or sensitive scalps often choose gentle, highly moisturizing shampoos. For the same reason, Rapide developed a shampoo especially for itchy or sensitive-skinned horses. It promotes skin health, relieves itching, and supports strong, healthy hair growth.

Rapide Derma Shampoo contains nourishing and moisturizing ingredients such as cade and tea tree oil, and its effectiveness has been proven time and again by our customers. As we move into the winter season, it’s also good to remember that Derma Shampoo is especially helpful during coat changes.

Next up: White Shampoo.
As the name suggests, this one is formulated for white horses. But it’s also perfect for washing white legs, markings, or patches on horses of any color. And just like blondes know that shampoos for light hair don’t bleach dark hair, the same goes here: using this shampoo on darker horses is completely safe.

The star quality of White Shampoo lies in its natural brightening ingredients. But what many horse owners love most is its dirt-repelling effect – the shampoo contains ingredients that help protect the coat and repel dust and dirt, which is especially noticeable on white horses. That’s why investing in a shampoo made specifically for white coats really pays off!

Third, and fittingly, let’s talk about Black Shampoo.
As you’ve probably guessed, this shampoo is specially designed for black and dark brown horses. It works much like White Shampoo but is not recommended for white horses. Black Shampoo enhances and deepens dark coats, leaving them glossy, rich, and beautifully conditioned.

Finally, we have Shine Shampoo, a universal favorite.
This shampoo is suitable for all horses and contains Aloe Vera and B vitamins. Its carefully balanced pH makes it ideal for different coat types while supporting the growth of a shiny, healthy mane, tail, and coat. Shine Shampoo has become a timeless classic – highly concentrated, foamy, pleasantly scented, and wonderfully effective.

We hope this article helped you see why choosing the right shampoo for your horse is not just important, but also in your horse’s best interest. At Rapide, we’ve dedicated over a century to product development, and our shampoos are the result of this long tradition of quality and expertise.
