Solutions
Rubbing, irritation, abrasions and hair loss: the horse's skin is exposed to constant friction. Discover how to keep it clean, dry and protected with a breathable mineral barrier that supports the natural rebalancing of the skin.
What Fiaccatura is
Fiaccatura is a natural mineral compound based on clay and activated charcoal, formulated for the well-being and skin protection of the horse in cases of rubbing, irritation, abrasions and hair loss. The synergistic combination of the two ingredients keeps the skin clean, dry and protected, supporting the natural processes of skin rebalancing and regeneration.
Components and action
Rich in silica, magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc, copper, potassium, sodium and titanium. Absorbent, remineralising and soothing action: it forms a breathable barrier that protects the tissues and supports the skin's physiological recovery.
Thanks to its microporous structure with high adsorbent capacity, it helps capture impurities, contributes to the removal of skin residues, keeps the surface clean and reduces excess moisture. It supports the maintenance of skin integrity.
They are released gradually and help support the natural processes of skin renewal and rebalancing, accompanying the skin in its physiological recovery.
Friction from equipment
Every point of contact between the horse and the equipment is a potential rubbing zone. Repeated friction, combined with sweat and pressure, removes the surface layers of the skin and creates local irritation in the most stressed areas.
How to use Fiaccatura
Fiaccatura as protection for historically stressed zones: the clay forms a breathable mineral barrier while the activated charcoal helps keep the surface clean and dry.
Common situations
Treatment objectives
Stressed skin
When friction recurs over time, the skin may redden and show small surface abrasions. In these situations the goal is to keep the area clean and dry, supporting the natural processes of skin rebalancing.
How to use Fiaccatura
Fiaccatura in the superficial stages of irritation, after a gentle cleansing with water: the breathable mineral barrier isolates the area from external agents and supports the physiological rebalancing of the skin.
Common situations
Treatment objectives
Coat regrowth
Repeated rubbing can lead to hairless areas resulting from mechanical irritation. Once the irritative phase has passed, the skin needs a clean, balanced environment to promote even regrowth of the hair.
How to use Fiaccatura
Fiaccatura as support for the natural restoration of the coat: the minerals are released gradually, supporting the physiological processes of the skin in the areas affected by irritation or rubbing.

Treatment objectives
How it works
The effectiveness of Fiaccatura does not depend on covering the skin, but on keeping its microenvironment clean and balanced.
It captures excess moisture and impurities, keeping the skin surface clean and dry.
It forms a breathable mineral barrier that isolates the area from external agents without preventing physiological transpiration.
It supports the natural rebalancing of the skin and the regrowth of the hair, releasing the trace elements gradually.
How to apply
Gently clean the area with water, removing dirt and residues. Do not use disinfectants or aggressive detergents.
Apply a uniform layer of 3–5 mm directly onto the skin or onto the hairless area. Massage lightly against the hair to improve adhesion.
Let it air-dry: the clay gradually releases the minerals, the charcoal absorbs the impurities and the skin is kept dry.
Once dry, the clay pack forms a breathable protective barrier that continues to act in the following hours. It can be left in place until completely dry naturally.
When the film tends to detach naturally, remove the residues with water and proceed with a new application if necessary.
Important
Do not cover the area with bandages or fabrics. The effectiveness of Fiaccatura depends on contact with the air and on the gradual drying process.
When veterinary intervention is needed
Fiaccatura is indicated as external support for irritation and minor surface abrasions. It is not indicated for deep open wounds, lacerations or infected lesions. In the presence of significant wounds, signs of infection, marked pain or irritation that does not improve, an assessment by a veterinarian is necessary.
