In India, coconuts are referred to as Kalpa Vriksha (“the tree that supplies all that is needed to live”). Coconuts are not only an important source of nutrients, but they have a variety of other potential health benefits.
Products derived from the coconut palm have been used as natural remedies, worldwide, for thousands of years. We are proud to be able to provide those benefits to pets by adding refined fermented coconut oil from organically grown coconuts to our pet products.
Refined fermented coconut oil is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), especially lauric acid, and has a number of potential benefits when used in skin care products:
Cleanse
Deodorizes
Moisturizes
Nourishes
Potential germ-deterring properties
Coconut oil is safe and gentle and is commonly used in a variety of shampoos and conditioners for its beneficial effects. But even then, there are some cautions:
● While coconut oil is less likely to cause allergies than some other vegetable oils, it doesn’t eliminate the possibility. If your pet is allergic to coconut oil, it is highly reccomended to avoid products containing it.
● Coconut oil is a great moisturizing agent, but pets with greasy fur and/or skin are more likely to benefit from ingredients more likely to dry out some of that oiliness.
● Coconut oil can moisturize the skin by the oil penetrating the pores, but should be used sparingly in areas of skin prone to blackheads and/or acne, as it is capable of clogging pores.
Aloe vera has been used as a natural remedy for thousands of years, primarily used for a variety of skin conditions as it soothes and moisturizes irritated skin.
Oatmeal can help hydrate and moisturize the skin, and can aid in reducing skin dryness and associated flaking and itching.
Chamomile is an ancient natural remedy, which was used by the Greeks for managing irritated skin.
Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, has been used as a home remedy for insect bites, minor irritations, itching, and more.
Tea polyphenols are believed to have anti-oxidant effects, are soothing to the skin, and may reduce irritation and redness.
We integrate our unique coconut oil formula with premium natural ingredients like oatmeal, aloe, and chamomile in order to help add a healthy luster to the coat.
