As Chachi wrote, there have been threads on YT by people urging others not to use Minksheen because of the mink oil and animal cruelty.
This article explains the sodium hydroxide used to produce soap/various toiletries: A Closer Look at Sodium Hydroxide | Personal Care Truth or Scare
There is an argument to be made that soap is too harsh and not ideal for health. I read skincare forums and there are people who never use soap on their faces. They wash only with water or various solutions of olive oil, oatmeal, and other
natural ingredients. The also use sodium chloride and sulfate free shampoos.
Relative to the flea and tick preventatives -- My understanding is that the chemicals are absorbed into the body and that is how they work, so it is safe to wash after about 24 hours. In other words, the preventative is not working outside our pets' bodies, topically. Is this correct? |
That link is very interesting ....here is a little I found too and took notes to add to my notepad
"
Dog shampoo,
mink sheen says it's Natural Insect Repellant, it's not a natural shampoo, look closer into what that really means.....
Watch for polyethylene glycol, a petroleum that can be an irritant;
sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate, both detergents frequently found in canine shampoos.
avoid words like "Sodium Cocoate", "Sodium Tallowate" - the "Sodium ______ate" ingredients that are organic oils that have reacted with an alkali, and are considered "soap"
Ask, Is it biodegradable ?
