An oil-based horse shampoo cleans with help from nourishing plant oils rather than stripping the coat bare, so skin and hair hold on to their natural moisture. Ferro makes two: the botanical [Repel Oil Shampoo](/product/repel-oil-shampoo/) and the castor-and-jojoba [Reluxe Mane & Tail Shampoo](/product/reluxe-maintail-shampoo/). Both leave the coat clean, soft and conditioned in one single step.

## Why Choose an Oil-Based Shampoo

Ordinary detergents clean by stripping oil, including the coat's own protective layer. Do that too often and skin turns dry, flaky and itchy. An oil-based shampoo balances cleansing surfactants against plant oils that stay behind on the hair, so the coat comes up clean but soft, without that tight, stripped feeling. It's a solid choice for dry coats, coarse hair, and horses that get washed often.

- [Repel Oil Shampoo](/product/repel-oil-shampoo/) — botanical oils (citronella, lemongrass, eucalyptus, tea tree) that clean while leaving an insect-deterring finish behind. See the [fly-repellent wash](/collections/natural-fly-repellent-shampoo/).
- [Reluxe Mane & Tail Shampoo](/product/reluxe-maintail-shampoo/) — castor and jojoba oils for coarse manes and tails that need conditioning, not more stripping.

Oil in the Wash, Not Grease on the Coat

An oil-based shampoo isn't meant to leave the horse greasy — the oils are there to condition as they rinse away, so the finish reads soft and clean, not slick. If a coat feels greasy after washing, you're either using too much or not rinsing it out fully.
