Nature at her creative best for animals, plants, humans
& gardens
About it - Part 1
"It’s natural, ethical, a deterrent & should be on every animal owners’ essential
list".
That was the verdict of dozens of people who participated in the original horse
& animal Trial (2006/07) for the
Ruggle-it® vegetable oil mixture
& specialist shampoo (see the
'testimonials' link on the left of this page for over 90 detailed users' reports).
-
Natural & Multi-purpose
In fact there are at least 18 issues on which you can use the 100% natural oil & the ultra mild shampoo be it for horses, alpacas, farm animals, pets, humans (including babies) or plants! -
Saves you BIG £££
And it just gets better, because by adding tap water to your oil & shampoo, it can become at least 5-10 times its volume as a bug spray...now that's value! All products come with full instructions. -
Spray-Bath - ideal in Winter/chilly conditions
As the special shampoo is soap-free and alkaline (not acidic like most), when you cannot bath your animal (or in winter), you can "spray-bath" them with no rinse-out required.
Full baths will always deliver ultimate efficiency & cost-savings long-term (without stripping any natural moisture from the skin), the "spray-bath" offers a very useful option
Starter Packs.
-
Due to this products' versatility, when you're new to Ruggle-it® it's not easy to explain quickly how you use it for so many issues....hence we've designed the Starter Packs.
-
A Starter Pack can contain a) oil + shampoo, b) oil + emulsifier, or c) semi-solid salve & shampoo. Consider if you need 1-2 Triggers.
-
Therefore, please choose from one of the many Starter Pack options we've created:
- see 'What to Buy" in the left hand margin for options - then scroll down the page for all the information you'll need to make your decision, or,
- just pick a pack from the Online Shop -
Buying a Starter Pack means you do not need to understand how it works...but please know it will soon become apparent once you have it in front of you with its instructions!
Most Starter Packs containing an oil & a shampoo can be used for:
-
all issues connected to flies/mossies/midges & summer itching • mud environments • lice, ticks, all types of mites • scabs • hair loss • strike by flying critters • minor wounds • scurfy and/or hot skin • pet itching/chewing • head lice • body sores • general skin unhappiness • a natural anti-feedant for insects that normally eat plants (aphids etc,.).
The Ruggle-it® Oil Blend
The oil (with a nutty/garlic/burnt coffee/onion aroma) is blended here in Somerset (UK) & is a mixture of tropical vegetable oils including Coconut, Safflower, Neem, Wheatgerm, etc. Scientifically identified properties include our oil ingredients being resistant to more than 300 different insect types. It can aid swellings & repel bugs, calm & moisturise skin. The key ingredients are ANTI - bacterial, fungal & oxidant.
The Ruggle-it® Ultra Mild Hypoallergenic Shampoo
The pioneering shampoo is also hand-made here in the UK using
truly pioneering & genuinely gentle ingredients as well as including
some of the Ruggle-it®
oils. Because it works totally differently from nearly all
other shampoos & is guaranteed free of all harsh chemicals usually
associated with 'shampoos', it will not strip natural moisture from the
skin.
When you cannot bath, you can use it as a "spray-bath" without need for
rinsing.
The Ruggle-it® Emulsifier
For the rare instances when you absolutely CANNOT bath, buy a Starter Pack that includes an emulsifier instead of the shampoo. However, any Pack that includes an Emulsifier will be restricted in its uses. The Emulsifier does only one job - it allows you to safely blend our oils with water. The shampoo not only does this job, but a string of other jobs too...hence it's much more flexible & better value for you to buy a Starter Pack with a shampoo in it!
About it - Part 2
The trees & plants that provide our oils have been used for thousands of years (Ayurvedic medicine) as gentle yet effective means for offering calming & soothing benefits to a wide range of issues that face plants, humans & animals (large & small).
Our Ruggle-it® products contain ZERO DEET, Tea Tree, harsh chemicals (e.g. parabens, petroleum by-products, benzoate, PEGS or sodium lauryl sulfate) which are known skin agitants yet found in a high percentage of today's shampoo/skin cleaning products. They are quite simply, a pair of nature's star offerings. They are also naturally bio-degradable.
Both the FEI & British Horseracing Authority have confirmed that the Ruggle-it® oil, shampoo & emulsifier do not contain any substances prohibited under their respective Rules.
