Smart Grooming Deep Purple Whitening Horse Shampoo
Description
Smart Grooming Deep Purple Shampoo is a conditioning horse shampoo that neutralises yellow staining in the coat, mane and tail using a deep purple formula, while lavender essential oil helps soothe the skin. It is best for owners of greys, whites, palominos and horses with white markings who want a brighter, cleaner finish for everyday turnout or show-ring preparation.
The purple pigment works on the colour wheel principle, counteracting yellow tones rather than bleaching them. It can be applied neat to stubborn stains or diluted for routine washing, so one bottle covers both yard bathing and pre-competition prep. Browse more horse grooming products to complete your kit.

FAQ
How does a purple shampoo whiten a horse's coat?
The purple pigment sits opposite yellow on the colour wheel, so it visually cancels out yellow and brassy tones in white and grey hair, leaving a cleaner, brighter appearance without bleaching.
Can I use it neat or should I dilute it?
Both. Dilute it for regular bathing and general cleansing, and apply it neat to stubborn stains or very yellowed tails.
How long should I leave it on a stained tail?
On very yellow tails, apply neat, lather well and leave for a few minutes before rinsing. Repeat the process if the staining has not lifted.
Is it suitable for horses with sensitive skin?
The formula is conditioning and contains natural lavender essential oil to help soothe the skin. It is for external use only, so avoid sensitive areas and patch test before full use.
Will it dry out the mane and tail?
It is a conditioning shampoo intended to leave the hair soft, and following with Super Shine helps smooth the hair and protect against future staining.
Can it be used on coloured or dark horses?
Yes - it is a cleansing shampoo suitable for general washing, but the colour-correcting benefit is most visible on white and grey hair such as socks, blazes, manes and tails.
