Formulating Natural Dog Grooming Products

There is a growing demand for natural and organic pet grooming products - so many members and students have requested this class!

With the right know-how about the differences between products for dogs vs humans, it is easy to add formulating dog grooming products to your skillset too.

In this class, you will discover trends that have emerged within the area of pet care and grooming products and learn about:

• Types of pet care products.
• Comparison of products for dogs vs products for humans.
• Pet care product regulations.
• Key ingredients in dog grooming products.
• Ingredients to avoid in dog grooming products.
• Examples of natural dog grooming products on the market.

You will receive four formulations from our lab, ready for you to make at home.

• Dog Shampoo Bar - mild, sulfate-free shampoo bar that foams well and is easy to use. Contains conditioners, emollients and humectants to strengthen, moisturize and condition the hair, too.
• Puppy Paw Balm - a natural balm containing emollients and occlusives to protect and moisturize delicate puppy paw pads.
• Fur Detangling Lotion - a leave-in detangling and conditioning lotion for dogs whose fur is prone to knotting and tangling after shampooing or getting wet. Contains a variety of natural ingredients to condition, hydrate, smooth and repair a dog’s coat.
• Pet Odor-reducing Spray - containing natural deodorizing and fragrancing ingredients to deodorize dog fur and bedding and to deliver a pleasant and relaxing scent.

With each formulation, we share product development questions, formula, instructions and product specifications. Follow our formulations and then create your own!
