AT EASE Calming Muzzle Butter for Horses - CHAMOMILE

NOW includes Zinc Oxide for ultimate added sun protection!

All-natural aromatherapy option for providing a sense of calm for your horse in otherwise stressful situations - such as vet visits, trailering, horse shows and unfamiliar environments.   Simply apply the balm to the nose as pictured. Tested on humans and horses based on confirmed research studies on the power of chamomile oil and aromatherapy. 

Essential oils have been used in medicine for thousands of years. It’s about time our horses get to reap those natural benefits as well!

Chamomile oil, being the most common, leaves an amazing impression on relaxing the body through activating sensor proteins in the brain. In turn, the brain releases a compound that results in chamomile’s calming effects!

Now comes with Zinc Oxide - perfect for summer, now formulated with added Zinc Oxide for ultimate sun UPF protection on the face. 

As of August 2024 - Topical application of lavender is allowed under current USEF & FEI Substances, but be sure to check with your local governing body.
