DOG SHAMPOO

Main ingredients in dog shampoo

Regarding surfactants

・Sodium methyl cocoyl taurine taurate:
The most valued feature of sodium methyl cocoyl taurate is that it causes very little skin or mucous membrane irritation. It is a surfactant that can be used safely by people with sensitive skin and babies, as there is little risk of it stinging the eyes or causing skin irritation. And not only is it highly safe, it also has the excellent feature of functioning well as the main cleaning agent in shampoos.

・Sodium lauroyl hydroxyethyl-β-alanine:
This is an improved version of the well-known ingredient sodium lauroyl methylalanine, which has enhanced foam quality. In addition to being able to maintain fine, abundant foam, it also has the characteristic of thickening in the weak acidic range. Fine foam usually produces less foam, but this ingredient is characterized by its high foam volume.

・Lauramidopropyl betaine:
Amphoteric surfactant. It adjusts the foaming and viscosity of the main cleaning agent and provides a conditioning effect. It produces fine foam and is rarely used alone, but rather as a supplementary cleaning agent.

・Potassium cocoyl glutamate:
It is a particularly emollient among amino acid-based cleansers, and produces very little foam on its own. It is very gentle on the skin and has a high conditioning effect. It is often found in baby shampoos and shampoos for damaged hair.

・Sodium cocoyl glutamate:
It is the most moisturizing amino acid-based cleanser, and tends to foam rather weakly on its own. It has a gentle cleansing power and a strong conditioning effect, and is a surfactant that cleanses while leaving moisture on the hair and scalp. Because it has weak foaming and lathering power, it is usually used in combination with other auxiliary surfactants.

・Cocamidomethyl MEA:
A non-ionic surfactant with excellent foaming and foam-boosting properties, it is used to improve the foaming of shampoos, facial cleansers, etc. It is not used alone but as an auxiliary agent for other cleaning ingredients.

The above ingredients are almost non-irritating to the skin and are generally considered to be safe.

DOG TREATMENT

Main Ingredients in Dog Treatments

Regarding oil-based ingredients and surfactants

Pentaerythrityl tetraethylhexanoate:
This is an ester oil with a very high level of safety. It gives a rich, smooth feel. It is colorless, transparent and almost odorless, and serves as an emollient, binder, viscosity adjuster, occlusive agent and oil agent. It is an ester oil obtained from pentaerythritol, a type of sugar alcohol, and 2-ethylhexanoic acid, a fatty acid, and remains liquid even at low temperatures. It also has excellent heat resistance, hydrolysis resistance, oxidation stability and emulsion stability.

・PPG-90 Butyl Ether:
It is a compound of polypropylene glycol and butyl ether. It is a common ingredient in cosmetics and personal care products, where it acts as a moisturizer and emulsifier. It is also used to improve the texture of products and make them easier to apply. It is highly safe and has a wide range of uses.

・Diethylhexyl sebacate:
It is an ester compound commonly used in cosmetics and skin care products. It functions primarily as a moisturizer and emollient, moisturizing the coat and providing a smooth feel. It also makes the product feel lighter and easier to spread when applied. Diethylhexyl sebacate is considered to be safe and less irritating to the skin. Therefore, it is often used in products for sensitive skin.

・Isostearyl alcohol:
It is a type of fatty alcohol that is often used in skin and hair care products. It mainly provides moisturizing and emollient effects, smoothing the surface of the skin and coat. It can also improve the texture of the product and give it a creamy feel. Isostearyl alcohol is said to be gentle on the skin and suitable for dogs with sensitive skin. In addition, it may play a role in improving the stability of the product and help other ingredients to disperse evenly.

・Stearamidopropyl dimethylamine:
It is a compound that is widely used in cosmetics and hair care products. It primarily functions as a conditioning ingredient, smoothing the hair cuticle, which helps soften the coat and prevent tangles. It also acts as an antistatic agent, helping to reduce static electricity in the coat, which is especially useful in dry environments.

・Behentrimonium chloride:
It is a cationic surfactant that is often used in hair care products. It mainly acts as a conditioning ingredient, softening and smoothing the coat. It is also included in many conditioners and treatment products to prevent tangling and make brushing and styling easier. It also has an antistatic effect, reducing static electricity in the coat, making it easier to manage.

・Cetearyl alcohol:
It is a type of fatty alcohol that is often used in cosmetics and skin care products. It mainly acts as an emollient, giving the skin and coat a smooth feel and helping to retain moisture. This allows the product to moisturize the skin and coat and prevent them from drying out. Cetearyl alcohol is also sometimes used to improve the texture of products and adjust the thickness of creams and lotions. It also functions as a surfactant, acting as an emulsifier to mix water and oil, helping to increase the stability of the product.

・Stearyl alcohol:
Stearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol that is widely used in cosmetics and personal care products. Its primary function is as an emollient, providing a lubricating and moisturizing effect on skin and coat, helping to prevent dryness in products and supporting healthy skin and coat.

Stearyl alcohol also acts as a thickener and stabilizer, improving the texture and ease of use of products such as creams and lotions. It also acts as a surfactant, acting as an emulsifier to mix water and oil, helping to maintain the uniformity of the product.

The above ingredients are almost non-irritating to the skin and are generally considered to be safe.
