PRODUCT BENEFITS
Effectively treats and relieves skin scaling caused by seborrhea and helps relieve mange and other parasitic infections.
Powerful Active Ingredients:
Coal Tar:Coal tar is keratoplastic (sheds dead skin cells from the top layer to allow growth of new skin cells) and is used to help alleviate dermatological issues such as itching, flaking, and scaling due to seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis.
Salicylic Acid:Salicylic acid is an anti-inflammatory widely used for skin-care products to treat seborrheic dermatitis, acne, psoriasis, dandruff, and even warts. It works to help shed the cells of the epidermis, allowing clogged pores to open, neutralize bacteria, and then prevents pores from re-clogging by constricting them and allowing for new cell growth.
Micronized Sulfur: This ingredient has a variety of beneficial properties for optimizing health. It’s well-known for it’s detoxifying properties and aid to reducing chronic inflammation. Sulfur has also been used for years as a fungicide and pesticide. For pets, it’s used to help destroy ringworm, seborrhea, mange, and other dermatoses and parasites.
Oatmeal & Allantoin: These ingredients are known to be great for hydrating the skin and promotes healing.
Paraben–Free: Parabens have been found to mimic estrogen in the body- and when levels are disrupted, a link has developed with breast cancer & reproductive issues. All our formulas are Paraben-Free, to promote the safety, well-being and health of your pet.
