The Aussie sun doesn’t mess around ☀️
And unfortunately, neither does UV damage.
Our horses aren’t immune to the elements, especially those with pink skin around the nose, eyes and ears. If it can burn us, it can burn them too.
Just the same as with humans, prevention from sun damage is key. By the time you see redness and inflammation or scabbing (like in the image), the skin is already under stress.
An equine safe summer routine looks like this:
✔️ Access to shade (non-negotiable)
✔️ UV/fly masks or summer rugs where needed
✔️ And a horse-safe sun protection product on high UV days (such as Sun Dust)
Sun Dust is formulated to do more than just sit on the skin. Natural mineral filters help block both UVA and UVB rays, while calendula and aloe vera calm and support sensitive areas or already damaged skin. To top it off a mild lavender scent supports the nervous system and assists acceptance.
Best of all? Because of its unique formulation Sun Dust is also wonderful for use on minor skin irritations such as insect bites, mudfever, greasy heel and itchy bits. All packaged up in our sustainable wheat straw jars, with the choice of a bamboo kabuki applicator.
🌱 No nasties. No shortcuts. Just carefully chosen, natural ingredients.
