Hey Everyone, Happy New Year!

long time, no post, i know..... but i've been pretty busy which is a good thing. :mrgreen:

i have a question. a friend of mine, who is wants to partner with me to do a doggie soap line suggested this product for the main ingredient:

Nutribiotic Pure Coconut Oil Soap http://www.nutribiotic.com/pure-coconut-oil-soap.html

has anyone heard about this / used it / think it's good for dogs?

i've never heard of this brand before so I figured I'd check first.

TIA!

Seems, alright. I would get a small container and pH test it first though. I see that they use citric acid to change the pH levels of the product, formulating it to be the proper pH for humans. Dogs require a slightly different pH, so you may need to adjust with lye or citric acid to get it just right.

I don't know how much they superfat, but if the liquid soap is clear, it might be drying, notwithstanding any "special" coconut oil. The ingredients do not indicate much. "Purified water (aqua), saponified organic coconut oil (virgin, unrefined, non-GMO cocos nucifera saponified with alkali), and citric acid." The citric acid does neutralize some of the lye, but I would be curious what the actual pH of the product is. Add too much citric acid to CP soap and the emulsion will break into "curds and whey".

The pH of dog's skin is on average between 6.2 and 7.4 . Human skin is around 5.5

There's also the Castile soap with castor oil, which i know will give more bubbles. though i'm not so sure that she's as concerned with bubbles.

IMHO less lather with dog shampoo is better. I use shampoo that rinses off easily and leaves little residue, if it takes a long time to wash off I get super annoyed!
