How One Mom in Her 50s Created a Yeast Solution Vets Said Was Impossible

Beginning of the Story

Sandy started a small organic skincare business—an e-commerce company that wasn’t exactly making money, but it filled her with purpose. Her mission was simple but powerful: to help people understand the hidden toxins in everyday personal care products and offer something cleaner, safer, and still luxurious. 

Then, on one otherwise uneventful day, everything changed. She got a call from a horse owner asking if she could put her organic deodorant powder, which her husband Vince created, in a larger container. Curious, Sandy asked why. The woman’s reply stopped her cold:

“It made the rain rot fall off my mare.”

Sandy laughed and said, “What’s rain rot… and what’s a mare?”

The woman explained that her horse had been sweaty in the cold and needed to dry off quickly so she wouldn’t freeze. After reading the ingredients, she’d sprinkled Sandy’s organic human deodorant powder on the horse’s coat. It worked faster than she imagined—it quickly dried the sweat, but it also did something miraculous: the rain rot instantly fell off.

This horse owner had tried everything—ointments, sprays, shampoos—but nothing had worked… until her simple, natural powder…still available and loved but rebranded for humans under the CD CLEAN name. 

Horse owners started to use the powder on their itchy, stinky dogs and the effects were the same, fast relief and clear skin. A miracle for dogs who had been suffering; many for years.   This resulted in her deciding to run ads to test the dog market.  She didn’t know at the time that this is the number one reason for vet visits.

Doubts She Faced

When Sandy shared what had happened, people laughed. “You’re not a vet.” “You’ve never even had a dog or a horse.” “You don’t have a degree in chemistry.”

But the animals didn’t care about credentials—they cared that they finally had relief.

Even as doubts surrounded her, stories began to pour in:

“My dog finally stopped itching.”
“The yeast smell is gone.”
“Nothing else worked until this.”

Every testimonial built her confidence. What started as an accident was turning into something real—a natural, non-toxic solution that was helping animals in ways traditional products never could.
