Triethyl Citrate
Triethyl Citrate is an ester derived from citric acid and ethanol. Citric acid is a natural compound in citrus fruits like lemons, limes, and oranges. It's a deodorizing agent that interferes with bacterial metabolism responsible for odor, reducing the formation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that contribute to unpleasant odors. Its addition helps control and eliminate pet body odor, leaving your dog smelling fresh and clean. It's a powerful ingredient that aligns perfectly with our product's mission to provide long-lasting odor control and skin health benefits for dogs. Its natural origin and gentle properties make it an excellent choice for our dog deodorizing and conditioning coat spray.
Aloe Vera Juice / Aloe Barbadensis
Aloe vera juice is a natural anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, humectant agent that soothes irritated skin and provides relief from itching caused by allergies or dryness. Its high water content (>99%) hydrates, moisturizes, and rejuvenates the skin. Its addition helps to calm and comfort your dog's coat, making it an ideal ingredient for sensitive dogs.
Pentylene Glycol
Pentylene Glycol is a synthetic chemical that is majorly found in cosmetic formulations. It's a versatile hydrating agent that brings numerous benefits to your dog's coat. As a potent humectant, it retains moisture within the skin's cellular layers, helping to lock in hydration and reduce dryness. The presence of natural preservatives like pentylene glycol in measured amounts is proven beneficial. This property aids in preventing the growth of microbes and other harmful elements in the product, thus elevating its longevity.
Vegetable Glycerin / Glycerin
Glycerin is a humectant that draws moisture from the air and deeper layers of the skin, making it an essential ingredient in coat sprays for dogs. It helps lock in moisture, reducing trans-epidermal water loss and preventing dryness. This keeps your dog's coat healthy, shiny, and manageable.
Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Glucoside
Cetearyl alcohol and cetearyl glucoside are gentle emulsifiers that balance product formulations while softening skin and repairing its natural barrier. They help to enhance the moisturizing properties of the spray, making it ideal for dry or damaged coats.
Magnesium Aluminum Silicate
Magnesium Aluminum Silicate (Smectite clay) is an effective emulsion stabilizer that can help absorb excess oil and sebum from your dog's coat, reducing shedding and leaving their fur feeling silky smooth.
Cetyl Palmitate *Plant Derived
This thickener and emollient helps smooth and condition dry skin by chemically combining cetyl alcohol with palmitic acid. Its addition enhances the product's ability to absorb quickly into the coat while leaving a non-greasy, soft finish. Cetyl alcohol is typically a type of alcohol derived from either plant-based oils or synthetically produced. However, it was formerly obtained from spermaceti whales and dolphins. Palmitic acid, on the other hand, is a saturated fatty acid commonly found in plant-based oils.
Xanthan Gum
Xanthan gum is a highly effective thickening agent that prevents ingredients from separating, ensuring an even distribution of deodorizing and conditioning agents throughout the coat. Its addition also enhances the product's texture and stability, allowing for easier application and absorption.
Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride
Guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride is a cationic conditioner that helps repel dirt and debris from your dog's coat while leaving it feeling soft and manageable. Its ability to neutralize negative charges makes it ideal for detangling, smoothing, and relaxing the fur.
Silver Citrate, Citric Acid
Silverion 2400 is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent that rapidly kills bacteria responsible for body odor. Silverion 2400 provides a broad spectrum antimicrobial activity and is effective against unwanted skin bacteria (especially cornybacterium) and pathogenic micro organisms. Its addition helps control and eliminate pet body odor, ensuring your dog stays fresh and clean longer.
Neutralizing the unpleasant odors on an enzymatic level. It's not masking the smell, it's truly neutralizing it. There is no added aroma to this product. It’s an all natural deodorizer coat spray specially formulated to neutralize odor while conditioning the coat.
The main active ingredient is a plant-based deodorant; Triethyl citrate. Triethyl citrate has a long history of use in deodorants due to its capacity to inhibit esterase activity in bacteria. The enzymatic cleavage of certain esters in sweat and the release of short chain fatty acids can produce unpleasant odor. Triethyl citrate has a well known effect to inhibit this process in bacteria, without effecting the natural skin flora.
MADE IN CANADA
TRIETHYL CITRATE
GUAR
ALOE
Our concentrates are formulated and made in Canada with globally sourced ingredients.
Triethylcitrate is the triethyl ester of citric acid. This citric acid ester reduces the build-up of unpleasant odor by inhibiting the odor-producing bacterial enzyme. We're not masking the smell, we're neutralizing it.
Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride comes from the Guar bean, it is a great conditioning agent for both skin and hair but especially beneficial as a hair care ingredient. It is positively charged, so it neutralizes the negative charges on hair strands that cause hair to become static or tangled.
Packed with antioxidants and vitamins, aloe vera juice benefits the skin as it comes with many skin-healing and moisturizing properties. It’s anti-fungal and also works as a natural insect repellent against mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas.
Our Odor Neutralizers are specially formulated using high-performing, clean ingredients to neutralize odor causing bacteria.
Why Aroma Free?
Dogs can smell up to 100,000 times better than us.
We’re advocating that Aroma Free is truly the preferred option, since dogs have such sensitive noses.
From an article on PetMD Dr. Nappier puts this tidbit into perspective with an awe-inspiring analogy. “A dog's sense of smell is its most powerful sense,” he says. “It is so sensitive that [dogs can] detect the equivalent of a 1/2 a teaspoon of sugar in an Olympic-sized swimming pool.”

Of course, it goes without saying, we hear the pet parents that just can’t help but want a bit of beautifully formulated aromas. Our aroma line is made with subtle notes, choosing only beneficial, natural essential oil ingredients.
