Equisoft Cream

Equisoft Cream began with a horse almost everyone had given up on. An equine rescue took in Rubicon, a severely burned horse, and after three months of intensive care his health had turned the corner everywhere except his skin. Prescription medications, plain Vitamin E oil, and even costly imported preparations all failed to ease the burns, and the constant pain and itching grew so relentless that the rescue began to consider letting him go.

Instead, the volunteers kept working until they developed a Vitamin E cream of their own and applied it to Rubicon's wounds three times a day. Within weeks his scars began to soften and heal. By two months, fuzzy new hair was growing back and healthy pink skin was returning. Within a year there was almost no evidence of the burn damage, and after two years his coat had fully regrown across his spine, sides, and head. That formula became Equisoft.

What makes Equisoft a Vitamin E cream worth knowing?

Equisoft is built around natural Vitamin E at a concentration of 25 percent, roughly 30,000 I.U. per jar, in the form of d-alpha tocopheryl acetate. The Original formula pairs that Vitamin E with moisturizing and conditioning agents such as glycerol stearate, stearic acid, allantoin, and decyl oleate, while the Natural formula leans on plant-derived ingredients like evening primrose, arginine, lavender oil, orange oil, grapefruit seed extract, and rosemary extract alongside the same 25 percent Vitamin E. Both are designed to be rich enough that a little goes a long way.

Which skin challenges is Equisoft made for?

The cream that brought Rubicon's coat back is now used on a wide range of skin challenges for horses and the people who care for them. Owners reach for it on wounds, surgical and accident scars, scratches, and dry or cracked skin, applying it to the face, neck, feet, and any area that needs deep moisturizing. The makers emphasize frequent light application rather than heavy amounts, since the formula is concentrated and intended to be worked into the skin a little at a time as part of an ongoing routine.

What exactly is Equisoft Cream?

Equisoft is a super-concentrated, vitamin E-based skin cream built around 30,000 IUs of pure, natural Vitamin E (d-alpha Tocopheryl Acetate sourced from sunflowers) — roughly 25% Vitamin E by volume in every jar. It comes in two versions: Equisoft Original ($26.00) and Equisoft Natural ($29.00), the latter fortified with evening primrose oil and built on a natural preservative system. The maker calls it non-greasy and stresses that "a little goes a long way," so a single jar treats a surprising amount of skin on horses, people, dogs, and cats alike.

Who makes Equisoft, and why does buying it help horses?
Equisoft is produced in Sonoma County, California, and operates from 122 Calistoga Rd Ste 232, Santa Rosa, CA 95409, reachable at (888) 708-3303. The brand grew directly out of an equine rescue's work with Rubicon, the badly burned horse the cream was first formulated to heal. A portion of every sale is channeled back into horse-rescue work, so the product was deliberately commercialized as a sustainable funding mechanism — buyers fund rehabilitation for other rescued animals with each jar.

What is actually in the jar — Original versus Natural?

Equisoft Original combines natural Vitamin E (d-alpha Tocopheryl Acetate) with purified water, glycerol stearate, isopropyl myristate, stearic acid, allantoin, decyl oleate, cetyl alcohol and a conventional preservative system. Equisoft Natural strips out the mineral oils, artificial colors and artificial fragrance, and instead leans on evening primrose oil (oenothera biennis), arginine, lavender oil, orange oil, grapefruit seed extract, rosemary extract, dimethicone and a potassium-sorbate preservative. Both deliver the same 30,000 IU Vitamin E payload — the choice is between a classic emollient base and an all-botanical one.

Why natural Vitamin E instead of synthetic?

Equisoft makes a point of using natural-source Vitamin E because, as the company explains, natural Vitamin E contains a single isomer that the body uses fully, while synthetic Vitamin E produces eight isomers — only one of which matches natural E's chemistry, leaving the other seven with limited bioactivity at roughly half the potency. Natural forms are labeled "d-" or "RRR-" (as in d-alpha tocopherol), whereas synthetic forms carry the "dl-" or "all-rac-" designation. Equisoft uses the natural "d-alpha" form so the antioxidant works at full strength against the free radicals that damage skin cells and tissue.

How is Equisoft applied, and how little do you really need?
Because the cream is so concentrated, the directions emphasize restraint: apply lightly, in thin layers, rather than slathering it on. On Rubicon, volunteers applied it three times daily to the burned skin; for routine human use the guidance is a light application about twice daily as an evening moisturizer on face, neck, under-eyes, feet and any area needing deep moisture. The same jar works on equine wounds, scrapes, dry coats and scurf, and on dogs and cats, making it a single-product alternative to keeping multiple specialty creams on hand.

What results do owners report, and how do you buy it?
Testimonials run from the dramatic — M. Wendle wrote that after applying Equisoft to open wounds, "The Next DAY they were almost completely healed," and the site documents Puzzler the Pony's burn recovery from 9/7/2020 to 10/7/2020 — to everyday skin wins, like Marty M of Portland, OR reporting that lifelong eczema improved more than anything else she'd tried.
