Rinsecore Coming Soon

Description

“After every wash, there’s a moment that often gets overlooked. The coat is stripped of sweat and dirt, but it’s also left open, waiting for what comes next. Most grooming stops there. Rinse the suds, walk away. But I wanted more for the horses. I wanted that simple rinse to actually mean something. RinseCore™ was created to bridge that gap. It’s not about adding another bottle to the shelf, it’s about giving intention to the stage between cleansing and conditioning. A rinse that doesn’t just wash off, but supports the next step in the system.”

RinseCore™ – The Reset of the Ironhide Grooming System.
RinseCore™ is the second stage of the Ironhide Grooming System. A concentrated liquid rinse designed to follow ForgeClean™ and prepare the coat for ForgeSeal™. Always diluted before use, it turns an overlooked step into something purposeful.

Where most rinses are little more than water, RinseCore™ is built with intention. Every ingredient is chosen to play its role. Whether it’s clearing away leftover residues, helping restore balance, or making sure the coat is ready for conditioning. It’s about turning a routine rinse into a meaningful part of your horse’s care.

The Purpose
RinseCore™ isn’t about quick shine or surface tricks. It’s about value in the everyday. Used after every wash, or as a lighter reset between deeper cleans, it keeps the system moving. A clear, practical step that makes the rest of your grooming work harder.
This isn’t cheap to make – we chose ingredients for your horse’s long-term coat health, not fillers. That’s why it costs more, but that’s also why it works differently

Why It Matters
One of the most important choices in creating RinseCore™ was balance. Horses’ skin naturally sits within a range that can be disrupted if a product is too acidic or too alkaline. That’s why this rinse is adjusted with care – to sit closer to the horse’s natural level, working with the skin rather than against it.

RinseCore™ is more than a rinse. It’s intention, balance, and preparation in one — the stage that ties the system together.

Why it Works

Every element in RinseCore™ is selected with intent. Nothing is filler, nothing is “just because.” Each material has a place in traditional grooming or modern formulation, and together they create a rinse that balances practicality with care.

• Aloe Vera Juice (Inner Leaf) – long valued in natural care for leaving the skin feeling refreshed and soothed after heat, friction, or exposure. Traditionally used for skin softness and hydration.

• Chamomile Hydrosol – a distilled floral water chosen for its calming, gentle qualities. Traditionally associated with easing sensitivity and adding a mild freshness to rinses.

• Apple Cider Vinegar (Raw, Unfiltered) – traditionally used as a clarifier to help remove residue, sweat, or grime. Contributes to a fresh, clean coat finish without heaviness.

• Vegetable Glycerin (Palm-Free) – widely used in grooming and skincare for its ability to attract and hold water, helping the coat feel supple and smooth after rinsing.

• Vitamin E (Natural Tocopherol) – included to help protect the formula and support coat condition, while also offering antioxidant defense against environmental stress.

• Colloidal Oat Flour – finely ground oats, traditionally valued for their role in calming itchiness and supporting skin resilience.

• Magnesium Flakes (Magnesium Chloride) – often used post-exercise for relaxation. Traditionally recognised for helping ease muscle tension and supporting recovery.

• Peppermint Essential Oil – chosen for its sharp, uplifting aroma and its long traditional use for a cooling, refreshing feel after work.

• Lavender Essential Oil – widely associated with calm and comfort in traditional care routines. Provides a familiar, gentle aromatic finish.

• Phenoxyethanol EHG – a modern, ECOCERT-approved preservative, blended with ethylhexylglycerin, ensuring stability and safety in water-based natural formulas.

• Sodium Hydroxide (Carefully Diluted) – added in very small amounts to balance the overall pH. Horses’ skin has a natural range, and this adjustment helps keep the rinse closer to it, working with the skin rather than against it.

Caution:
RinseCore™ contains natural essential oils (peppermint and lavender), which in rare cases may cause a mild allergic reaction. This is noted as a precaution and is standard for products with essential oils. We use them at carefully balanced, low levels — enough to give purpose, but never excessive. While safely diluted. Always patch test before first use.
