Science and nature

Research &
Innovation

It's not enough for an ingredient to be natural: it has to work. Our approach combines centuries-old tradition and contemporary scientific rigour.

Our method

Applied research,
not theoretical.

Miraclay research starts from the horse's real problem, not from the laboratory. We observe, we listen to the professionals, we study the specific needs of the modern sport horse — and then we develop solutions.

We collaborate with university research centres for the chemical analysis of raw materials and the validation of formulations. But the definitive test is always in the field: if it doesn't work in a professional rider's stable, it doesn't work.

Every product is born from a real problem, is formulated with scientific criteria, tested by professionals, and only then brought to market. This process takes time — but it guarantees quality.

100% Natural

Formulations free of synthetic chemical additives, artificial preservatives and colourings.

Non-Doping

All Miraclay products are compatible with FEI and FISE anti-doping protocols. No prohibited active ingredient.

Made in Italy

Production and packaging entirely in Italy. Certified raw material of Umbrian origin.

Tested safety

Skin safety and product stability testing. Technical dossiers available on request for veterinarians and technicians.

The process

From the quarry to the finished product

Step 01

Raw material selection

Chemical analysis of every extracted clay batch. Only the lots that meet the mineral composition standards are accepted. Full traceability from quarry to product.

Step 02

Controlled processing

Low-temperature drying (max 40°C) to preserve the crystalline structure. Dry micronisation to obtain optimal particle size without chemical agents.

Step 03

Formulation

The complementary active ingredients (menthol, arnica, vegetable tar, vegetable oils) are selected for synergy with the clay matrix and tested in the laboratory before being added to the formula.

Step 04

Field test

Every formulation is tested on real horses in real conditions: competition, training, recovery. Feedback from FISE technicians, grooms and veterinarians. No product is launched without practical validation.

Step 05

Quality control

Microbiological analyses, stability tests, verification of the mineral composition on the finished product. Every lot is traced and documented.

Step 06

Finished product

Packaging in Italy with selected materials. Complete and transparent labelling. Ready to use, no preparation required.
