Biteback Products 'Sweet Relief'™ Midge Barrier and Skin Support Cream for Horses 500g
Biteback 'Sweet Relief' Cream is a highly effective cream to help stop your horse itching. This soothing, moisturising, plant-based cream is especially useful for horses who experience an extreme reaction to midge bites. If used prior to the midge season, in very early spring, it can be used preventatively, forming a barrier to midge bites and therefore stopping any rubbing and scratching behaviour from starting in the first place. The cream contains the ingredient Benzyl Benzoate, which breaks the itching and rubbing cycle. If your horse has already rubbed itself and has patches of irritated skin, this moisturising cream will revitalise skin and hair. We also offer a sprayable Sweet Relief lotion but this cream version is more concentrated and is easy to apply by hand, so it's ideal for mane, top of tail and faces. There's also a Sweet Relief Silver cream in the range, for helping turn around the condition of skin that's already broken. Used by horse owners for over 9 years with very positive results. '"Just wanted to tell you that it's working a treat. For the first time EVER, my shetland filly isn't bald and has hair growth, it's WONDERFUL stuff - thank you very much!!!' C.F.Cornwall Ingredients The cream contains 20% Benzyl Benzoate which means it's quite concentrated. It will quickly get to work tackling scabby, scurfy patches. It also contains moisturisers and skin softeners which help restore and maintain healthy skin and hair. A 250g pot should last an estimated 2 weeks, and a 500g pot will last 3-4 in peak season.

An application just before dusk (when the midges swarm) is particularly important. A noticeable improvement in the skin's condition should be seen within a week.
