Natural cat shampoo for sensitive skin

Bathing your cat you can keep your bed sheets, sofas & soft furnishings free of brown grease, but it’s critical to not strip to skin & fur of oils. For long haired cats, bathing helps reduce matting.

This brown oily grease is a function of the skin’s natural oils that, in shortcoated or hairless cats, are in closer contact with the environment, & therefore attract dirt & grime daily.

These ‘micro-coated’ breeds build up noticeable grease on the skin because their fur isn’t dense enough to contain the constant secretion of sebum from the sebaceous glands.

Sebum/oils are important to the skin’s health as they moisturise, prevent water loss & act as a barrier against friction, environmental damage & infection.

HERDD’s bars contain gentle surfactants derived from coconuts, that effectively clean away grease.

The bars are also packed with plant butters, oils & natural betaine, & botanical vitamins, fatty acids & antioxidants — all essential nutrients to replenish natural oils for healthy skin & soft fur.

HERDD bars deliver a natural sheen & are delicately fragranced, important for cats who don’t like strong scents.

All in one natural, 3-in-1 formulation that cleans, conditions & detangles.

• No spills

Yes, HERDD bars are suitable for sensitive skin types.

Patch test if you have a particularly sensitive skinned cat, & if symptoms persist see your vet.

About 75 washes for an average cat.

Approx. 3x the number of washes in a solid concentrated HERDD bar compared to a standard plastic shampoo bottle.

P.S. After many uses, your HERDD bar will soften {due to natural, quality ingredients & no fillers}. Keeping the bar in a HERDD bar tote until it’s finished keeps it together & makes for a really effective bathing sponge/ scrubber! Alternatively, store on a draining soap dish.

HERDD bar totes make your bar last & are a handy storage pouch for them between uses.

There is no need for an expensive conditioner or a separate detangler, as HERDD’s concentrated bars are highly nourishing with purposefully selected, cleansing, conditioning & detangling ingredients.

Yes, our formulas are safe for cats over 2 months old / 9 weeks.

Avoid getting lather in eyes, but if you do, rinse with cool water.

After finishing the bath, rinse with warm water until the water runs clear.
