Product details

Greasy, scaly, smelly skin in pets is not pleasant for them or for you! Sebolytic Shampoo is a medicated shampoo for dogs and cats that helps to address the underlying skin conditions that cause oiliness and scaling, including seborrheic dermatitis and dandruff.

Sebolytic pet shampoo contains a unique combination of ingredients to relieve greasy and scaly skin problems in dogs and cats:

Zinc gluconate and vitamin B6 work together to regulate oil (sebum) production. Some oil is essential for healthy skin, and this combination helps to achieve the right balance between dry and greasy. Helps reducing greasiness.

Salicylic acid penetrates deep into the skin to remove excess oil, bacteria and dead skin cells. Its gentle exfoliating activity helps to unclog the pores, remove flakes and scales, and restore healthy skin function. Helps reducing scales.

Tea tree oil is an essential oil with antibacterial and antifungal properties. It can be helpful for managing fungal causes of greasy, flaky skin, such as dandruff. Tea tree is also a potent anti-inflammatory, so it can help to soothe skin irritated by infections. Helps soothing.

Piroctone olamine is another antimicrobial ingredient that is especially effective against the Malassezia fungus responsible for dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. Like tea tree, it can help to control excess oiliness, reduce skin flaking, and relieve irritation. Helps in microbial balance maintenance.

Sebolytic Shampoo is suitable for dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes, making it an ideal pet shampoo for multi-pet homes. It can also be used as a puppy or kitten shampoo for your younger pets, too.
