Vytamyx Stop Greasy is designed to support skin and coat condition in horses exposed to moisture, mud and environmental stress. The skin acts as a protective barrier, and maintaining its balance is essential for overall coat quality and comfort.
Stop Greasy incorporates melaleuca, natural beeswax and enzymes to support a balanced dermal environment. Beeswax provides a protective barrier against moisture, melaleuca supports the skin environment, and enzymes assist in maintaining cleanliness and turnover of the skin surface — particularly in horses exposed to wet or challenging conditions.
Active Ingredients
- Melaleuca
- Natural Beeswax
- Enzyme Complex

The Science
Vytamyx Stop Greasy is formulated to support skin integrity and a balanced dermal environment in horses exposed to prolonged moisture and challenging conditions.
Wet and humid environments can disrupt the skin’s natural barrier, creating conditions that allow microorganisms such as Dermatophilus congolensis to proliferate. This organism can remain present on the skin and become active when moisture softens the outer layer, increasing the likelihood of irritation and surface disruption.
Stop Greasy combines ingredients such as melaleuca, known for its role in supporting a balanced microbial environment, with natural beeswax to form a protective barrier against external moisture. Enzymes and supporting nutrients contribute to maintaining skin cleanliness and normal turnover. Together, these components help support the skin’s natural defence mechanisms and maintain a stable surface environment, particularly in wet or muddy conditions.

FAQ
All your questions, answered.
Not sure what rug your horse needs right now? Our free Horse Rug Forecaster checks your local weather and tells you what rug weight your horse needs today, tonight and over the next 3 days. It works anywhere in New Zealand and adjusts for clipped horses and horses that feel the cold.
The thermoneutral zone is the temperature range where the body can maintain its core temperature with little to no extra energy expenditure. Humans need it much warmer, at around 25–30 °C, but for horses it’s much broader at 5–25 °C.
This difference means we should avoid rugging horses based on how cold we feel. Over-rugging can lead to serious health issues, including metabolic problems and thermoregulatory dysfunction.
Tips for Choosing a Winter Rug Weight
-
Clipped horses may need a heavier gram fill to stay comfortable.
-
Remember: horses warm themselves more easily than they cool down under a rug. If unsure, choose a lighter rug.
-
Check your horse regularly to make sure they are neither too hot nor too cold.
-
Consider your horse’s age and natural ability to stay warm.
-
As a general guide, a healthy unclipped horse with shelter usually doesn't need a winter rug until it feels colder than about 5 °C, but always adjust for your horse’s individual needs.
-
Always ensure rugs are waterproof. A wet rug is worse than no rug at all.
This is an indicative guide only. Always take into account factors such as wind chill, your horse’s age, weight, and condition. For advice based on your local forecast, try the Horse Rug Forecaster.
