FAQ: Why are Shampoos with the Claim of ‘Medicated’ or ‘Anti Itch’ use Colloidal Oatmeal when some dogs are allergic to Oatmeal?
TropiClean uses Colloidal Oatmeal, (Avena sativa oatmeal) is a natural ingredient found in many of our shampoos that helps to moisturize, clean, and soften a pet's coat. It can also help soothe itchy, irritated skin as it aids in balancing the pH in the skin making it a powerful ally for relieving itchiness and restoring the skin & coat. Colloidal oatmeal binds to the pet’s skin and forms a protective barrier. It also helps the skin to hold in moisture and ease inflammation.
Collodial Oatmeal has been used for centuries to relieve itch and irritation from dry skin due to winter, lengthy showers or harsh soaps. Researchers from Skin Research Center of Johnson & Johnson in USA found in 2008 that Avenanthramides, which are present in oats are potent anti-inflammatory agents and these give the anti-irritation capacity to oats. In 2012, researchers from Johnson & Johnson Santé Beauté France together with a dermatologist also from France showed from data collected in 10 countries that Colloidal Oatmeal is a safe and effective ingredient in personal care products and has low propensity to cause allergies. The anti-irritation, anti-itch property of oatmeal is utilized by to provide relief from symptoms of yeast infections, so we disagree with the myth that oatmeal feeds yeast. Overall, many thousands of pets use shampoos with Oatmeal regularly without incident and TropiClean is no exception.
