POOCHIE GLAM LAUNCHES A SULFATE & PARABEN-FREE SALON

April 19 2012

Sulfate & Paraben-Free Fur Cosmetics:
Bark or Growl?

You ask what is the fuss about sulfates and parabens? We are seeing more and more products claiming to be sulfate and paraben free these days, and we ask ourselves what all the craze is about. Over the past few years there has been a debate amongst scientists, product safety regulators and manufactures about whether these chemicals used for many years are harmful to our health and our furbuddy’s health.
Reading shampoo labels can be very confusing and often times we have no idea what the chemicals we are reading actually are and what they do.

What’s in the label?
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate A.K.A (SLS) is a powerful, grease cutting detergent that creates the bubbles found in shampoos. It is relatively inexpensive, and is found in cosmetics, household cleaners, and heavy degreasing products. SLS is found in many fur cosmetics and human shampoos, used to cut and remove oils and dirt.

Parabens AKA (methyl, butyl, ethyl, & propyl) are chemicals used to stop bacteria and microbes growth and used to preserve and prolong the shelf life of products.

What the labels don’t say?
In recent years SLS has been investigated for its irritating compounds damaging the hair follicle and causing aggressive skin conditions and much more. Although they may leave your dog feeling squeaky clean, SLS rids the skin of dirt and oil while breaking down precious lipids, that binds skin cells together, keeping them resistant to dryness and damage. This reaction often leads to skin conditions with itching, burning and peeling sensations. This reaction is often mistaken or diagnose as your pet having a skin allergy.

In fact Paraben chemicals have been said to build up to toxic levels that can be absorbed into your dog’s skin and paws, potentially disrupting the endocrine system and overtime developing allergic reactions, a change in hormone levels that can cause cancer.

What Poochie Glam Says?
It is extremely important to protect your dog’s health and wellbeing. For starters the skin is the largest organ that acts as a barrier against harmful chemical and external factors and is responsible for storing nutrients, water balance, and sensory perception. Because a dog’s skin is relatively thin when compared to humans, it tissues can easily absorb toxins in the blood stream leading to diseases.

The use of sulfates and parabens are way too harsh and will strip away our furry friend’s skin protector elements that are essential in defending the body from trauma.
When buying fur cosmetics for your pooch, it is important to buy products that are made for dogs. Bathing your dog with human shampoo or even baby shampoo is a big no-no! Human shampoo have a different pH level then the pet formulas and likely leave residue behind that can be very irritating to their skin. You should look for products that are made with natural plant base ingredients and free from SLS and Parabens. Luckily today many pet product manufactures are turning to sulfate and paraben-free options, due to the increased demand from concerned consumers.

Poochie Glam opts to Bark-A-Bout IT!
PoochieGlam is proud to offer a sulfate and paraben free salon, using 100% safe and natural products for our furry friends. Our guests deserve products of the highest quality and that is exactly what we deliver. Our highly nourishing and delicious smelling products are all natural and contain no artificial fragrances and toxic preservatives. You can rest assured knowing that your dog’s well being is our number one priority!
