EQyss was established in 1991 to manufacture cruelty-free, eco-friendly, 100% safe skin and hair products for humans, horses and pets.  The company has firmly stuck to these principals.  The purpose of hair is to keep animals warm and to draw moisture from the air into the skin, helping the skin breathe.  If hair, skin or scalp are coated with ingredients they are unable to transfer moisture which can lead to skin and coat problems. EQyss products do not contain alcohol or detergents that strip essential nutrients and moisture from the hair and skin but they do contain patented ingredients that accelerate the rate of moisture transfer through the hair shaft by 100 times the normal rate.  See amazing results!
