Equifuse

What Equifuse does

EquiFUSE, Inc. is a privately held, California-incorporated equine grooming and care products company that develops and sells a portfolio of cosmetic-grade horse hair and coat care formulations. Its core offering is a six-product grooming system — including the Gleam® Moisturizer + Shine Serum, Shine Perfect Spray, CFS Concentrate + Paste Shampoo, CitraShampoo Sulfate-Free, CitraCreme Deep Conditioner, and Rehydrinse Coat Protector — built around natural and plant-based ingredients such as macadamia nut oil, camelina oil, coconut oil, citrus extracts, and vitamins C and E, with concentrated formulas engineered to deliver high wash counts per bottle. The product line has since expanded into detanglers, fly repellent, leather care, and curated bundles marketed under a registered Gleam® trademark, with a separate Xterior sub-brand targeting wholesale buyers and large equine operations.

The company operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market, fulfilling orders from a Los Angeles warehouse and distributing through Amazon and physical tack/feed retailers including Dover Saddlery. Pricing is unit-based across multiple SKU sizes (8oz to 64oz), with gift certificates and bundle systems (e.g., the 6 Product System at $165.94) used to lift average order value, and a Team EquiFUSE sponsored-rider program (SWRHA, NRHA, Tryon International) deployed as grassroots marketing. Revenue is generated entirely from one-time product sales with no disclosed subscription or recurring component, no institutional funding, no headcount disclosure, and no public financial reporting, and the company's operating geography is limited to the continental United States.
