It's official! Juno's Garden is introducing two new shampoos with a very special ingredient . . . Oatmeal! Not the kind you eat for breakfast, while very nutrious, these old time breakfast oats are not quite what we had in mind. Colloidal Oatmeal (avena sativa) helps smooth and comfort itchy, dry skin. It is not a breakfast oatmeal and shouldn't be eaten :).
Colloidal Oatmeal is simply oats ground into an extremely fine powder. It works great to help relieve dry, skin patches (Eczema), psoriasis, acne, bug bites, sunburns, and other minor skin irritations. It also helps relieve chicken pox, poison ivy, poison oak, poison sumac, and other itching and scratching rashes. When your skin is itchy and irritated, its pH level may be higher. Colloidal Oatmeal helps bring the pH back to normal levels, taming "the need to itch."
Why do we use Colloidal Oatmeal in pet shampoos? Our dogs are having more problems with dry itchy skin. This is a result of environmental conditions and food allergies that plague our canine friends. Bathing a dog is naturally a bit drying, as natural oils are stripped from your dogs coat. Oatmeal shampoo add moisture as you use them. They tend to be heavier and less sudsy and sometimes it seems like they aren't even a shampoo.
We like to call our new shampoos Bath Therapy. They are SO very soothing :).
