It has no active chemistry at all. It works by drying, because a feather that stays damp under a mat of hair is exactly the environment mites and crawling insects want, and a dry one is not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat makes it a maintenance product rather than a treatment. It goes on as often as needed through a wet winter, and because it is inert there is nothing to build up or withdraw. Nettex get the best out of it by washing the feather first with their Equine Veterinary Surgical Scrub, so the powder meets clean skin rather than sitting on top of mud.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNaturally absorbent, promoting hygiene and dryness right down at the skin under the feather.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilica-shelled fossilised diatoms — diatomaceous earth, and nothing else.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe dry conditions it creates discourage mites and crawling insects.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompletely natural, so it can be applied as often as needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the UK.
