Natural Key Ingredients

Organic Aloe Vera
Aloe vera contains proteolytic enzymes that repair dead skin cells on the skin. It also acts as a great conditioner and leaves the coat smooth and shiny. It promotes hair growth, prevents itching on the skin, reduces dandruff and conditions the hair. Aloe Vera is rich in minerals, vitamins, and enzymes. It is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, counteracts redness, helps heal wounds and calms irritated skin.

Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Naturally, olive oil has many anti-ageing antioxidants and hydrating squalene, making it superb for hair and skin. Olive oil has a moisturizing effect that nourishes the skin and provides a long-lasting shield of moisture to keep skin smooth and supple. It also helps prevent dandruff and hair loss. Also, olive oil helps strengthen individual hair strands to avoid hair splits.

Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that may be effective at reducing UV damage in the skin. Vitamin E may help nourish and protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals. Also, vitamin E can help replenish the shine that the hair loses as a result of damage.

Panthenol (Vitamin B5)
Panthenol is used as an emollient and moisturizer because of its ability to bind to the hair providing hydration. Also, panthenol strengthens the hair shaft, strengthens the skin, and counteracts eczema, itching, peeling skin, fragile coat, and hair loss. Panthenol gives natural colour and lustre, adds volume, enhances the skin and coat quality, makes brushing easier, repairs damaged/worn coats and improves hair elasticity.

Glycerin
Glycerin is plant-derived. It is an emollient and humectant; it softens and moisturizes the skin by forming an oily layer on top that draws or traps water in/on the skin. It is used to treat many oily skin conditions, like acne and skin infections. It maximizes the healthiest hair possible.

Tips for bath

It is very important to massage your pet with shampoo for at least 5 minutes and ideally 10+ minutes before rinsing it. Massage helps deep cleanse, helps the hair grow and stimulates blood flow. It also reduces the stress that water can cause on some pets.

Drying is the second most important part of a bath. If the pet does not dry out well, the skin can be exposed to moist bacteria that could cause infections and bad odours.

- Short-haired breeds should bathe every 6 to 8 weeks.
- Thick and coarse breeds like Samoyed and other Northern breeds need bathing at a lower frequency approximately every 3 to 6 months but they require almost daily brushing.
