Absorbine Silver Honey Medicated Shampoo for Horses — 16 fl oz, Manuka Honey & MicroSilver for Sensitive Skin Relief

Absorbine Silver Honey Rapid Skin Relief Medicated Shampoo is a veterinarian-developed, pH-balanced cleansing treatment that uses medical-grade Manuka honey and MicroSilver BG to soothe, hydrate, and gently cleanse irritated skin on horses and other animals.

This shampoo pairs nature-derived Manuka honey with a stabilized form of silver, MicroSilver BG, to deliver a gentle yet effective topical wash designed for sensitive or compromised skin. Formulated without fragrances, parabens, sulfates, alcohol, antibiotics, or steroids, the product focuses on cleansing and short-contact soothing. It’s intended as a first-step wash and works best when followed by Absorbine’s Silver Honey ointment or spray gel for extended care.

How quickly does Silver Honey shampoo work after application?

Results depend on the condition and severity of the skin issue, but the shampoo is designed for a brief contact time. It’s meant to be massaged into the affected area, allowed to remain for five minutes, then rinsed off to remove debris and help calm the skin.

• Leave on skin for about 5 minutes per directions.
• Creates a light lather to lift dirt and surface irritants.
• Follow with Silver Honey ointment or spray gel to continue relief.

What makes the formulation suitable for sensitive skin?

The shampoo is pH-balanced to respect the skin’s natural microbiome and avoid disruption from harsh ingredients. It omits common irritants like fragrances, sulfates, parabens, alcohol, antibiotics, and steroids to reduce the chance of additional irritation.

• pH-balanced formula preserves skin's natural barrier.
• No added fragrances or drying alcohols.
• Free from parabens, sulfates, antibiotics, and steroids.

Can I use this product on animals other than horses?

Although developed with equine skin in mind, the shampoo is labeled as safe for use on multiple species. Always check with a veterinarian for species-specific guidance, especially for small animals or those with known sensitivities.

• Designed primarily for horses but safe across species when used appropriately.
• Consult your vet before treating dogs, cats, or exotic pets.
• Adjust contact time and dilution as advised by a professional.

How should I include this shampoo in a skin care routine?

Use the medicated shampoo as the cleansing step for affected areas, then apply a follow-up topical product to protect and support recovery. For best outcomes, combine short-duration washing with a protective ointment or gel to maintain hydration and reduce re-irritation.

• Gently massage into affected areas and rinse after five minutes.
• Apply Silver Honey ointment or spray gel after towel-drying.
• Repeat as recommended by your veterinarian or the product instructions.

Who is this for? Absorbine Silver Honey Medicated Shampoo is aimed at caretakers, trainers, and owners seeking a veterinarian-influenced wash for animals with sensitive, irritated, or compromised skin. It suits horse owners who want a short-contact, pH-respecting cleanser that avoids harsh additives, and handlers of multiple species who need a gentle, evidence-informed option. For active skin problems or persistent issues, pair this shampoo with follow-up Silver Honey protectants and consult your veterinarian for a comprehensive care plan.
