Allerderm Sensitive Skin Shampoo

948585

£19.98 (inc. VAT)

Allerderm Sensitive Skin Shampoo's effectiveness lies in its carefully selected ingredients, which work to hydrate, soothe, and protect sensitive skin. The shampoo includes colloidal oatmeal, a natural ingredient known for its ability to calm itchy and irritated skin. Oatmeal helps to form a protective barrier on the skin, locking in moisture and providing immediate relief from itching and discomfort.

Glycerin, another essential ingredient, acts as a humectant, drawing moisture from the environment into the skin. This helps to keep the skin hydrated, reducing the likelihood of further dryness and irritation. By maintaining optimal skin moisture levels, glycerin ensures that the skin remains soft and healthy, preventing the flaking and scaling often associated with dry skin conditions.

Allerderm Sensitive Skin Shampoo also includes Virbac’s unique Defensin technology, which supports the skin’s natural defences against pathogens. This technology works alongside Glycotechnology to inhibit harmful microorganisms from adhering to the skin. Together, these advanced features protect sensitive skin while promoting healing and maintaining its integrity.

Description

Skin conditions in pets can be a source of significant discomfort, leading to scratching, irritation, and even infections. Allerderm Sensitive Skin Shampoo is formulated to address these issues in dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens by offering a gentle and soothing solution. Designed specifically for pets with sensitive, dry, or mildly irritated skin, this shampoo provides much-needed relief while supporting the overall health of the skin and coat.

Colloidal oatmeal is widely used in dermatology for its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties. It works by binding to the skin, forming a protective barrier that seals in moisture and prevents further irritation. In pets with sensitive or dry skin, oatmeal can help alleviate itching, redness, and discomfort, making it an ideal ingredient for managing mild skin conditions in dogs and cats.

When applied through Allerderm Sensitive Skin Shampoo, the oatmeal content also provides long-lasting moisture to the skin. This is particularly beneficial for pets that experience regular irritation due to environmental factors or allergies. As the shampoo is pH-neutral, it helps balance the skin’s natural acidity, ensuring it remains gentle on even the most sensitive skin.

Skin Conditions in Dogs and Cats

Pets can suffer from a variety of skin conditions, many of which cause significant discomfort and can lead to more serious health issues if left untreated. The most common skin problems in dogs and cats include dry skin, itching, and mild irritations caused by allergies or environmental factors.

Dry Skin: Pets with dry skin may exhibit flaking, scaling, or dandruff, which can result in excessive scratching. Environmental factors such as cold weather, indoor heating, or a poor diet can exacerbate this condition. In some cases, underlying medical conditions like hypothyroidism or seborrhoea may be contributing factors.

Itching and Irritation: Itching is a common symptom in pets with allergies or sensitive skin. In addition to causing discomfort, persistent scratching can lead to open sores and secondary infections. Pets exposed to allergens, such as pollen, dust mites, or certain foods, may develop irritated skin, necessitating a soothing and hydrating treatment like Allerderm Sensitive Skin Shampoo.

Allergies: Dogs and cats can be allergic to a wide range of substances, including flea bites, certain foods, or environmental allergens. These allergies often manifest as itchy, red, or inflamed skin, which can worsen if the pet scratches or bites the affected area. Using a gentle, hypoallergenic shampoo like Allerderm Sensitive Skin Shampoo can help manage these symptoms by calming the skin and preventing further irritation.

Defensin Technology for Skin Protection

Virbac’s innovative Defensin technology is designed to support the skin’s natural defences. Pets with sensitive skin are often more susceptible to infections because their skin barrier may be compromised. Defensin technology helps protect the skin by promoting its ability to defend itself against harmful microorganisms.

This technology works in tandem with Glycotechnology, which prevents pathogens from attaching to the skin. By keeping harmful bacteria and other pathogens at bay, Allerderm Sensitive Skin Shampoo reduces the risk of skin infections and supports the healing process, making it suitable for routine care in pets with mild to moderate skin sensitivities.

Glycerin for Hydration and Moisture Retention

Glycerin is a powerful moisturising agent that helps lock in moisture and maintain hydration in the skin. In pets with dry or sensitive skin, glycerin plays a vital role in preventing further dryness by drawing moisture from the environment into the skin. This helps to maintain the skin’s elasticity and softness, reducing the chances of cracking, flaking, or discomfort.

By using Allerderm Sensitive Skin Shampoo regularly, pet owners can help restore the skin’s natural moisture balance. This is particularly beneficial for pets that experience recurring dryness due to environmental conditions or seasonal changes.

Suitable for All Skin Types and Ages

Allerderm Sensitive Skin Shampoo is suitable for use on dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies and kittens. Its gentle formula ensures that it is safe to use on the most delicate skin without causing further irritation. The shampoo is designed to neutralise odours and leave the coat clean, soft, and smelling fresh, with a light apple fragrance.

Whether used as part of a regular grooming routine or as a targeted treatment for pets with sensitive skin, Allerderm Sensitive Skin Shampoo offers a reliable and effective solution. With its soap-free, pH-neutral formula, it provides lasting relief from dryness, itching, and irritation, while supporting the health of the skin and coat.

  • Soothes and hydrates dry, irritated skin
  • Contains colloidal oatmeal to relieve itching
  • Defensin and Glycotechnology for enhanced skin protection
  • pH-neutral and soap-free for gentle cleansing
  • Suitable for puppies, kittens, and adult pets

Salicylic acid is also an active ingredient in Zincoseb Skin Shampoo. It selectively breaks down keratin protein chains found in the outer skin layer, helping to open up clogged skin pores. This is particularly beneficial for pets with flaking skin, as it aids in the removal of dead skin cells, promoting the regeneration of healthy skin.

Flaking skin in Pets, often associated with dandruff, can be a sign of various skin conditions. It can result from seborrhoea, where there's an overproduction of sebum, leading to an oily coat and skin. Flaking skin can also be a result of dry skin. Zincoseb Shampoo for Dogs and Cats is designed to counter both these issues. It rebalances the skin, addressing both oiliness and dryness, ensuring that the skin remains in optimal condition.

Allerderm Dry and Scaly Skin Shampoo - 250ml

Skin health is critical to a pet’s overall well-being, and dry, scaly skin can lead to discomfort and irritation. Allerderm Dry and Scaly Skin Shampoo is specifically designed to manage these issues in both dogs and cats. Its unique, soap-free formulation offers gentle care for pets suffering from dry or flaky skin, supporting hydration and the overall condition of the skin and coat.

How Allerderm Dry and Scaly Skin Shampoo Works

Allerderm Dry and Scaly Skin Shampoo provides effective skin hydration through a combination of scientifically selected ingredients. It contains 5% urea and 1% glycerin, both known for their moisture-retaining properties. These ingredients work together to penetrate deep into the skin, helping to restore moisture and improve the texture of dry, scaly patches. The shampoo also includes a pH-neutral base, making it gentle enough for frequent use without causing additional irritation.

Urea is a key humectant that draws moisture from the environment into the skin. This is particularly important for pets suffering from skin conditions that cause dryness or scaling, as keeping the skin hydrated helps to prevent further irritation and discomfort. Glycerin works as an emollient, softening the skin by locking in moisture and improving the skin’s barrier function. Together, these ingredients ensure long-lasting hydration, promoting healthier skin and a shinier coat.

Allerderm Dry and Scaly Skin Shampoo also contains chitosanide, a natural biopolymer that helps form a protective film on the skin's surface. This film supports the skin’s natural barrier function, helping to prevent water loss and shield the skin from environmental factors such as cold weather or central heating, which can exacerbate dryness.
