There are so many benefits for pet owners using WildWash instead of a regular pet shampoo. So we thought we’d share some below:
1. WildWash Shampoos Decrease Drying Time, Saving Time and Money
This is because WildWash do not use any sulfates in their products. Nor do they use SLS or SLES. You will see these in ingredient lists as sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and sodium laureth sulfate (SLES).
WildWash do not use these ingredients as they are bad for the environment and sulfates strip away too much moisture, leaving the hair dry and unhealthy. They may also make the scalp dry and prone to irritation. They are used commonly in skincare because they are a cheap foaming agent which gives the illusion of washing from the foam they create. However, what actually happens is the foam, doesn’t aid washing and leaves lots of residue in the coat which takes ages to try and rinse out. It’s impossible to rinse out all the residue fully and then the coat takes ages to dry.
2. Great Ingredients, Great Results, Great Hands!
At WildWash they have created their own unique formulas, using the very best ingredients they could find. Unlike most dog shampoos, WildWash is not a white label product. Most regular dog shampoos are mass produced in one factory and then sold to different companies and marketed.
WildWash is different! - they created each and every product over a 2 year period, carefully choosing the ingredients that they believed would best benefit our pets skin and coat and help us look after our environment. WildWash do not use Sulfates, Parabens, Phthalates, Phosphates, Petrochemiocals, PEGs and Palm Oils, and all WildWash products are made at a Carbon Free apothecary in Somerset.
3. Long Lasting Scents
WildWash use 100% pure essential oils in their products. These not only address skin and coat problems and help us solve them, but they also mean the products smell beautiful. Most synthetic fragrances contain petrochemicals which can cause skin sensitivity issues, so this is why they chose to use pure essential oils instead.
The fragrance left in the pets coat after using WildWash is wonderful. It is liked by the pet so they don’t immediately try and roll in something to get rid of it and it lasts much longer than a synthetic fragrance which means your pets will smell better for much much longer!
4. Honest and Trustworthy
At WildWash they have always tried to be as transparent as possible. They were one of the first pet shampoo brands to list every ingredient on the label, so that users had all the information needed to make an informed choice about the products they chose to use.
5 . Working Hard to Look After The Environment
All decisions at WildWash consider the impact to the environment we live in. They strive hard to create the best products whilst creating as less damage to the environment as they can. WildWash chose recycled plastic packaging for their WildWash Pet Range, they set up recycle centres for their WildWash Pro Range, their ingredients are from sustainable sources, they make their products in a carbon free apothecary and they are constantly trying to perform better for the environment. WildWash also carry the Cruelty Free International Logo and have Ethical Accreditation and they are in the process of becoming a B Corp business.
