Colloidal silver is the strongest natural defense against pathogenic microorganisms that live on the fur and skin of pets. Colloidal silver acts on pathogenic microorganisms in three ways: silver ions react by binding to the lipoprotein layer of the cell wall of the pathogenic microorganism. Also, they can react with enzymes, blocking their function and thus disabling the functioning of the microorganism. Silver nanoparticles penetrate through the cell membrane of a pathogenic microorganism, whereby the cell, which recognizes them as food, lets them in by itself. According to the “Trojan horse” principle, when they enter the cell, they bind to metabolic enzymes or DNA and completely destroy the pathogen’s cell from the inside. Oxidative processes of silver in contact with oxygen and water produce so-called oxidative oxygen species (ROS). These are extremely reactive radicals that react with the pathogen’s cell wall and immediately destroy it, thereby destroying the microorganism.
Due to its antimicrobial properties, lavender essential oil achieves exceptional results for unusual skin conditions in dogs. The absorption of shampoo with the addition of this oil is very fast, because the oil contains linalool. It is a colorless liquid with a floral scent, with anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and antimicrobial effects, and helps with skin problems. Deeply penetrating the skin of dogs, it cleans and nourishes it, and its effect begins immediately after application. In addition, lavender oil calms the micronerves in the dermis, bringing them the aromatic and therapeutic vibrations of its composition. In this way, it soothes the skin, regulates the level of sebum and reduces irritation. When it comes to dog hair, lavender oil has a dual effect, as it positively affects both the root and its quality. Refreshes the hair, improves its quality. It penetrates deep into the root of the hair and allows it to develop further, promoting the appearance of new hair. It treats the surface of the skin under the hair, cleaning it of dandruff and maintaining its saprophytic flora in a healthy balance.
Olive oil has the title “liquid gold” and has an excellent reputation, and it is characterized by numerous properties necessary for the care of the skin and hair of dogs (moisturizing, antioxidant and antibacterial). This oil has a number of functions such as revitalizing the skin and stimulating hair growth. It has oleic, linoleic, palmitic, stearic and linolenic acids, as well as a huge number of polyphenols, carotenoids, squalene and vitamin E.
Jojoba oil is rich in vitamins and minerals, primarily vitamin E, which is known as a skin protector, and B vitamin complex, as well as chromium, zinc and iodine. It is ideal for treating dry skin of dogs, especially irritation after exposure to the sun. Jojoba oil makes combing the hair easier, and is especially suitable for long-haired dogs.
Hyaluronic acid binds water, keeping it like a sponge in dogs’ skin. It has antimicrobial properties, so it helps reduce the risk of infections. It also nourishes the hair follicle, providing stronger, more elastic and shiny hair.
