herbal shampoo - effective, gentle cleaning
Pet shampoos must provide effective, gentle cleaning to avoid potential side effects such as dry skin, irritation/itching, dandruff, etc. Skin and coat problems are one of the most common reasons for visits to the veterinarian.
Essential oils such as Cedarwood (Cedrus Deodara), Sweet Flag (Acorus Calamus)
and Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus Globulus) have been used in folk therapies for centuries.
Cedarwood and Eucalyptus give the shampoo its pleasant, natural aroma. Cedarwood
has been used for centuries as an antibacterial and antifungal agent, with some
insect repelling properties, and Eucalyptus Globulus has been used as an antioxidant
and antibacterial agent. The essential oil used in our Herbal Shampoo is
derived from the leaves of this plant.
Herbal Shampoo is pH-balanced and formulated with safe and natural
ingredients that maintain a healthy skin and coat and prevent skin irritation
and dryness.
- Provides rich lather, with no chemicals or synthetic ingredients
- Safe for all dog breeds and can be used on all ages, from puppies
to mature dogs.
- Provides deep fur conditioning and long-lasting luster.
Active Ingredients: Cedrus deodara - 2.5%, Acorus calamus - .5%, Eucalyptus globulus - .5%

Eucalyptus globulus is a
large tree reaching a height of 300 ft. or more in forest conditions.
The Eucalyptus is the dominant tree in the bush of Autrailia.
It produces slick, dark green opposing leaves on juvenile shoots
and is a favorite food of the tree climbing Koala bear. Known
for centuries as a folk remedy, Eucalyptus Oil has been used
a local antiseptic, an anti-inflammatory agent and to relieve
certain skin ailments. It has also been used as an insect
repellant before the large-scale manufacture of chemical repellents
in the twentieth century.

aromatherapy Shampoos - pamper your dog's body, mind and spirit
Lavender
Clary Sage
ecoPure Naturals’ Aromatherapy Shampoos will have a positive, relaxing effect on your dog – stressed by living in the human environment, traveling, participating in shows, exposure to loud sounds like thunder and car traffic, etc.
Certain music, colors and aromas have a soothing effect on certain parts of the brain. Aromatherapy affects the limbic system, which controls moods, desires, motivation, and creativity. The limbic system is directly connected to the pituitary gland and hypothalamus area that controls the release of hormones that can affect appetite, nervous system, body temperature, stress levels, and concentration.
ecoPure Naturals' Aromatherapy Shampoos are made with essential oils, which are oils distilled from botanical material. These shampoos should NOT be used on cats because a cat's system can not effectively excrete essential oils.
Clary Sage aroma has been traditionally used to calm nerves and reduce anxiety.
Lavender aroma has been traditionally used to aid in relaxation and reduce hyperactivity.
Ingredients: Essential oil (either lavender or clary sage), purified water, sodium cocoamphoacetate, glycerine, lauryl glucoside, sodium cocyl glutamate, sodium lauryl glucose carboxylate, citric acid, methylparaben, propylparaben, methylisothiazolinone

flea & Tick shampoo - treat pests while cleaning and conditioning!
Artificial, chemical-filled flea & tick treatments work by interfering with the nervous system of insects. Basically, these products stop the normal action of neuro-transmitters, causing the insects to lose control of bodily functions, go into convulsions, dehydrate and ultimately die. Flea & Tick Shampoo also interrupts a specific set of neurotransmitters, resulting in a complete breakdown of the insect's central nervous system, but it does this with food-grade ingredients, making it extremely environmentally friendly.
ecoPure Naturals’ Flea & Tick Shampoo utilizes natural, safe, effective ingredients such as Castor Oil, Eugenol (Clove Oil) and Thyme Oil that have been used for decades as a defense against unfriendly pests. They are listed on the US EPA Biopesticide Active Ingredient Fact Sheet and the FDA GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) list.
Flea & Tick Shampoo is pH balanced and formulated with gentle ingredients designed to maintain a healty skin and coat. The insect retatment is derived from food-grade botanical extracts (Castor Oil, Thyme Oil and Clove Oil) making it environmentally friendly and safe. These active ingredients biodegrade quickly and come from a renewable energy resource - plants.
Active Ingredients: Castor oil - 3%, Eugenol (clove oil) - 3%, Thyme oil - 3%
Inactive Ingredients: Purified water, sodium cocoamphoacetate, glycerine, lauryl glucoside, sodium cocyl glutamate, sodium lauryl glucose carboxylate, citric acid, methylparaben, propylparaben, methylisothiazolinone
active natural: thyme oil
Thyme is a genus of about 350 species of aromatic perennial herbaceous plants and sub-shrubs which can grow to 20 inches tall, in the family Lamiaceae. The name is derived from the Greek word “thymos” which means “perfume” and was used as incense in Greek temples. The Egyptians used it in the embalming process. Medicinally, Thyme has been used in folk remedies as an antiseptic and as an antibacterial. It also strengthens the nerves, boosts memory, concentration, relieves the feeling of exhaustion and also aids in combating depression.
