Gandur skin ointment is a healing and softening ointment for small wounds, ringworm and summer eczema on horses. When used, it forms a film over the wound and softens the edges, which makes the wound close faster. It is quickly absorbed by the skin, which makes it more difficult for dirt to stick to the grease but at the same time maximizes the effectiveness of the ointment in the skin. After the ointment has been applied, the flies leave the wound alone, which calms the horse and speeds up the healing process.

Mink oil is produced from oil that is a by-product of the processing of mink skin (which is part of Gandur's business). The oil contains a particularly high proportion of unsaturated fatty acids (omega 3 and omega 6), which give it its unique properties. It is a healing, softening and natural product that can be used on both animal and human skin. The oil is quickly absorbed by the skin, leaving a characteristic, velvety texture. Clinical studies have shown that mink oil can penetrate the fifth layer of the skin within an hour of being applied to the skin. However, it primarily stays on the outermost layer of the skin, where it moisturizes, softens and protects the skin.
