Looking to buy Derfen Original Lotion for your horse? At Ridershouse, you will find this natural skin care product for horses with thin or sensitive skin, ideal as targeted support when itching or rubbing occurs.

Say goodbye to summer itching and rubbing

Derfen Original helps break the vicious cycle of summer itching. When a horse starts rubbing, the skin often becomes even more sensitive, which may lead to more rubbing. This lotion helps calm the skin quickly, reduces the feeling of tightness and supports the natural recovery of the skin barrier.

The formula is completely water-free. This means the product does not evaporate quickly and remains on the skin for a long time, even in changeable or rainy weather.

Specially developed for horses with thin or soft skin

Derfen Original is the recommended version for horses with thin, soft or sensitive skin. The lotion contains ultra-soothing dry oils that have been specially selected so they do not clog thin skin. The skin can continue to breathe while a protective and caring lipid layer is formed.

The natural formula is rich in vitamin E, but also contains vitamins D and K. These vitamins, combined with antioxidants and polyunsaturated fatty acids, help protect the skin against oxidative stress and external influences such as sun, insect bites, sweat and dust.

Natural ingredients and powerful plant extracts

Derfen Original Lotion consists of a concentrated plant-based complex that supports the skin during moments of irritation and rubbing. The main ingredients are Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil, Ricinus Communis Seed Oil and Juniperus Oxycedrus Wood Extract. This combination helps care for, protect and soften the skin.

Derfen Original contains no neem oil and no insecticides. The lotion also contains no doping or photosensitizing ingredients.

How to use Derfen Original Lotion

Apply Derfen Original to the areas where your horse rubs the most, such as the mane, neck and tail root.

Use Derfen Original only when itching or rubbing occurs. This product is not intended for preventive maintenance and should not be used daily as a standard care product. The lotion is highly concentrated, so a small amount is enough.

1. Gently part the hair or mane so the skin becomes visible.
2. Apply a small amount of Derfen Original directly to the skin.
3. Massage the lotion in lightly so the product is evenly distributed.

Always apply Derfen Original directly to the skin, between the hair or mane, and not just on top of the coat. Reapply only when your horse starts rubbing again. Preferably leave at least three days between applications.

Important usage advice

Because Derfen Original is a concentrated lotion with natural active ingredients, we recommend testing the product on a small area of skin first. Wait 24 hours before applying it to larger areas. This allows you to check whether your horse tolerates the lotion well.

Do not use Derfen Original preventively and do not apply it daily. If your horse experiences itching so often that daily application seems necessary, or if the itching is severe, persistent or unexplained, there may be another cause. This may include lice, parasites, a nutritional issue, a deficiency or excess in the diet, gastric discomfort, stress, a contact allergy caused by a rug or a reaction to medication. In that case, it is advisable to identify the cause and seek advice from a veterinarian or specialist.

Use for summer eczema, winter itching, foals and pregnant mares

For summer eczema or summer itching, apply Derfen Original as soon as your horse starts rubbing, directly to the skin between the hair or mane.

Winter itching is not the same as summer eczema. When a horse rubs during winter, other causes may play a role, such as lice, nutrition, stress, gastric problems, contact allergy or medication. Derfen Original can help calm itching moments, but it remains important to investigate the cause.

For young foals, Derfen Original should only be used in very small amounts. Always check first whether lice are present, as this is common in foals and requires treatment by a veterinarian. For mild itching or sensitive areas, Derfly may be a gentler choice in some cases.

For pregnant mares, there are no specific known contraindications, but use the product with extra caution during this period. Apply small amounts, avoid repeated use and choose neutral care products such as Natjely or Tea Tree Shampoo where possible.

Frequently asked questions about Derfen Original

Can I dilute Derfen Original?
No, this is not recommended. Diluting the lotion may reduce its effectiveness. Apply a small amount undiluted to the affected areas instead.

Can Derfen Original be used together with Derfly?
Yes, it can. Apply Derfen Original to the skin when itching occurs and use Derfly on top of the mane or coat if desired to help keep biting insects away.

Are gloves required?
No, gloves are not required. They are useful, however, because the scent of Derfen Original is strong and can remain on your hands for several days. Preferably apply the product in a well-ventilated area.

What if my horse develops flakes after application?
Mild flaking may occur during the first applications and is usually not a problem. If the skin remains irritated or flakes appear repeatedly, the product may have been applied too often or this version may not be the best match for your horse.

My horse is losing mane hair but is not rubbing. Is Derfen Original suitable?
Derfen Original is developed for itching and rubbing. If your horse is not rubbing, this product is usually not the right choice. Hair loss without itching may be caused by drying shampoos, detanglers or another underlying cause.
