"It's a topical fly and insect repellent spray with an unknown formulation, as no ingredients are disclosed on the product page."

Consumer advice
Before purchasing, contact Savvy Touch or HorseSports NZ directly to request a full ingredient list and concentrations. If they won't provide this, the product is not worth buying—you can't verify you're getting what's advertised.

The humorous branding is fun, but it shouldn't override the need for ingredient transparency on any topical product applied to animals or humans.
