Application

This shampoo is not only suitable for white horses, but for all colors of skin, coat and hair. It has a slip-free and rich foam formula.

The CONCEPT:

AQUARICH® is a unique moisturiser owing primarily to two key ingredients:

Black Oats (Avena strigosa)

An ancient cereal with natural water reservoirs such as polysaccharides and amino acids that support the skin’s own Natural Moisturising Factors (NMF). Improves the structure of the hair surface, makes it easier to comb and improves shine.

Plant-based lecithin from soybean (GMO-free)

Strengthens the lamellar lipid matrix of the epidermis. The transepidermal water loss is reduced. The skin is better protected against evaporation. 

The hair is coated in lecithin, protruding scales are sealed. The surface of the hair becomes clearly smoother.

Directions for use

The shampoo rinses quickly and easily and can be used diluted or undiluted. Rinse off with lukewarm water.

In case of eye contact: Rinse opened eye for several minutes under running water.

(ex-vivo study done by Rahn, Zürich)

Method

Gloss Box test: Assessment of the gloss of horsehair strands by trained testers upon washing with AQUARICH® or reference.

Implementation

Dark brown horsehair strands; Test shampoo with 1 %, 0.5 % or 0 % AQUARICH®(placebo); 3 washing cycles: Rinsing with water for 15 min, Washing with shampoo / placebo / without shampoo for 2 min; rinsing with water for 1 min; Drying overnight; direct comparison of  gloss of strands washed under four different conditions at six different arrangements  by 5 trained testers; Highest gloss: 1, lowest gloss: 4 

Result

AQUARICH® significantly increases the gloss of horse hair. 

[Figure 20: AQUARICH® improves the gloss of animal hair. The gloss of untreated, placebo- treated, and AQUARICH®-treated horsehair was rated by direct comparison (four strands at a time) and by assigning ranks ranging from 1 = highest shine to 4 = lowest shine. Notably, untreated horsehair was rated with 3.7 on average and thus showed the lowest shine. AQUARICH®-treated hair, in stark contrast, showed the highest shine as it was rated with 1.9 (0.5 % AQUARICH®) and 2.0 (1 % AQUARICH®), respectively.

AQUARICH®-treated strands showed significantly higher gloss than placebo-treated strands. Mean values of 90 ratings per treatment are shown. The scale ranges from 1 = highest shine to 4 = lowest shine.
