This enzyme is needed by every living cell to help it grow and survive. Panthenol is also known to possess anti-inflammatory and anti-itching properties.
Soy Lecithin is rich in vitamin B and antioxidants. Soy Lecithin is a compound found in soy beans that is a building block in cell membranes and works to protect cells from oxidation and hardening. Lecithin has the unique ability to deeply penetrate the skin. It acts as an emulsifier to help transfer essential nutrients easily and bring them to the cellular level enhancing absorption. When used topically soy lecithin aids in treating burns, minor skin irritations, scrapes, eczema, psoriasis and helps to hydrate and soften the skin.
We only use Organic Raw Shea Butter, the original highly beneficial form of Shea butter before processing. Shea butter nourishes with vitamins A, E and F. Vitamins A and E help maintain the skin to keep it healthy and are useful for treating eczema, burns, and rashes and to lessen the irritation of psoriasis. Vitamin F acts as a skin protector and rejuvenator to relieve dry itchy skin. Shea Butter will provide moisture from the roots to the tips of your pet’s coat. It will also protect the coat against weather damage and dryness, without clogging pores, and will help restore its true luster.
Jojoba Oil (Buxus sinensis) is added to our shampoo for its wonderful healing and moisturizing properties. It helps heal sores, cuts, bruises and burns, while it moisturizes and conditions.
