What is in Flambo Lotion?

Flambo Lotion is built around reinforced mint oil, the cooling component that gives the product its characteristic peppermint character. The mint oil is carried in an emollient emulsion base that includes glyceryl stearate, polysorbate 60, glycerin, ceteareth-20, ceteareth-12, cetearyl alcohol and cetyl palmitate, which help the lotion spread smoothly and stay on the coat during massage.

What is Flambo Lotion used for?

Trainers and grooms use Flambo around competition to prepare and recover hard-working muscles. According to the manufacturer, the lotion supports racing animals during episodes of lameness associated with muscular pain, helps reduce muscle cramps and shivering after races, maintains muscle suppleness and joint flexibility, and works as a warm-up massage before exertion. Because it is surface-applied, it acts at the level of the skin and underlying muscle rather than as a systemic medicine.

How is Flambo Lotion applied to horses and camels?

The manufacturer recommends applying Flambo Lotion generously and massaging it gently into the muscles before and after races or strenuous exercise. Work it into the target muscle groups with soft, even strokes until it is evenly distributed across the area. As a topical product it is for external use only and must not be given by mouth or by injection. Avoid broken skin, eyes and mucous membranes, and wash your hands after handling. Always follow the directions printed on the product label.

Is Flambo Lotion suitable for racing camels?

Yes. The lotion is labelled for both racing horses and racing camels, making it a practical choice for the mixed performance stables found across the UAE and the wider GCC. The same gentle-massage method applies to camels: work the product into the active muscle groups before and after racing. Because camels and horses differ in size and coat, adjust the quantity to achieve full coverage while staying within the label guidance.

When should it be applied?

It is typically used as a warm-up massage before racing and again afterwards to help ease post-race cramps and soreness. Always follow the timing instructions given on the label.

How should it be stored?

Store the lotion in its original pack in a dry place away from direct sunlight, at a temperature between 16°C and 28°C. The manufacturer states a shelf life of 36 months from production.
