  • 16.9 oz bottle
  • Plant-based, safe if licked
  • Oatmeal, aloe + a probiotic ferment for sensitive skin
  • No sulfates, parabens, synthetic fragrance, or dyes
  • Lightly scented with named essential oils — lavender, orange peel, frankincense

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a good dog shampoo for sensitive skin?

It's formulated for exactly that. Colloidal oatmeal and aloe vera are hero ingredients here, not afterthoughts. The formula leaves out sulfates, parabens, synthetic fragrance, and artificial dyes — the four ingredient classes most often blamed for post-bath itch.

Does this shampoo contain oatmeal and aloe?

Yes — both are hero ingredients, high in the list rather than a trace at the bottom. That makes this a real oatmeal dog shampoo, not an 'oatmeal scent' on the front of the bottle.

Is this a probiotic shampoo?

It's made with a probiotic ferment, not live probiotics. Lactobacillus ferment is made by fermenting beneficial bacteria, which are no longer alive in the finished formula, so it stays stable on the shelf. It's a gentle ingredient long used in skincare, and we pair it with colloidal oatmeal and aloe for skin that's easily irritated.

My dog is itchy after every bath. Will switching help?

It's worth ruling out, and it's the cheapest thing to try. Post-bath itch is most often shampoo residue from incomplete rinsing, water that was too hot, or an ingredient in the shampoo itself — work through them in that order. A sulfate-free formula with no synthetic fragrance removes the most common irritants from the equation. If your dog reacts to botanicals, our Rinse-Free Paw Cleanser is our one fully fragrance-free formula. If the itching is constant, the skin is broken, or nothing changes after a few weeks, that's a conversation for your vet rather than a shampoo.

Is this shampoo suitable for puppies?

Yes. It's formulated to be gentle enough for puppies 8 weeks and older. Free from sulfates, parabens, synthetic fragrance, and harsh preservatives like methylisothiazolinone (MI/MCI).

Is it scented?

Lightly, and only from essential oils listed by name on the bottle — lavender, orange peel and frankincense. There is no synthetic fragrance and no undisclosed 'parfum', so you can see exactly what the scent comes from and decide for yourself. This shampoo is not fragrance-free; if you need a formula with no added scent at all, reach for the Rinse-Free Paw Cleanser.

What ingredients are in it?

Plant-based cleansers (cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine, sodium cocoyl isethionate, lauryl glucoside — all coconut-derived), colloidal oatmeal, aloe vera, manuka honey, lactobacillus ferment, and chamomile. No sulfates, no parabens, no phthalates, no synthetic fragrance, no artificial dyes. The full list is printed on the bottle.

Benefits

  • Gentle Cleansing - Coconut-derived cleansers lift dirt without stripping the coat's natural oils.
  • Colloidal Oatmeal and Aloe - Named high on the ingredient list, not a trace at the bottom.
  • Probiotic Ferment - Lactobacillus ferment is a gentle, fermented ingredient long used in skincare. We pair it with colloidal oatmeal and aloe for skin that's easily irritated.
  • Manuka Honey and Chamomile - Long-used for dry, easily irritated skin.
  • Easier Brushing - Guar-derived conditioning leaves the coat more manageable and less prone to matting.
  • Lightly Scented, and Named - Lavender, orange peel and frankincense, listed individually. No undisclosed 'fragrance'.
  • Gently Preserved - Potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate, not parabens or isothiazolinones.

How to use

Wet your dog's coat thoroughly. Apply shampoo and massage into a rich lather, working it down to the skin. Rinse thoroughly - shampoo residue is the most common cause of post-bath itch. Can be diluted for a lighter cleanse. Follow with the conditioner for long, double or curly coats.
