Peppermint Essential Oil

August 16, 2016

Peppermint is one of our favorite essentials and for good reason.

It is versatile and offers many benefits for your dog's skin and coat. Dry skin will benefit for its natural moisturizing while oily coats will benefit from its ability to normalize the sebum secretion.

Cedarwood Essential Oil

August 16, 2016

Cedrus atlantica (cedarwood) is known for its scent and its ability to repel fleas.

It is very good for your dog's skin and coat as a natural conditioner and beneficial for dogs with dermatitis of all types.

We use it in our certified organic dog shampoo for its safety. It is non-toxic, non-irritating, and non-sensitizing.

Natural Vitamin E (Tocopherol)

October 06, 2015

Vitamin E is important to your dog's body to help protect the skin and other cells from free radicals and fight off infection.

The antioxidant properties of a component within vitamin E make it very valuable in natural products.

A component of Vitamin E, called Tocopherol, is one of the few ingredients that can be used in certified organic formulations to serve as a preservative - antioxidant.

Lavender Essential Oil

Lavender is used to treat common skin disorders such as psoriasis and other inflammatory conditions.

It is known to eliminate nervous tension, relieve pain, disinfect the scalp and skin, enhance blood circulation, and treat respiratory problems.

Lavender acts as a natural anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, & anti-bacterial.

Vegetable Guar Gum

August 11, 2015

Guar gum has a number of properties when used in our formulation:

Serves as a natural conditioner and detangler
Feels like silk!

Guar gum is one of the few thickening agents that you can use in certified organic formulations. The downside of guar gum is that it lowers the natural lather of the overall formulation.

Hemp seed oil may be added to any body care or cosmetic product, including creams, lotions, facial or body oils, massage oils, shampoo, conditioner, shaving products, lip balm, soap, and any other product.

Topically, rosemary is known to serve as an anti-inflammatory, improve circulation, treat dry skin, boost healing, increase natural shine and hydrated appearance, and improve the quality of the skin.

We also use rosemary extract as an antioxidant to serve as a preservative in many of our products.

Beeswax is known for its ability to protect the immune system. It is also rich in vitamin A and known for its anti-bacterial properties. Beeswax is used in organic creams, lotions, balms, body butters and other organic formulations where rigidity or body are required.
