Additional Product Information
Description
Sensiderm Shampoo is a moisturising, soothing shampoo for dogs and cats with sensitive skin. Supplied in a 200ml tube, it gently cleans the coat while providing ingredients that help maintain skin hydration and the protective skin barrier. The fragrance-free formula is particularly useful when ordinary bathing products leave delicate skin feeling dry or uncomfortable. Sensiderm Shampoo combines mild cleansing agents with glycerin, ceramides, shea butter and botanical extracts, offering more than a simple wash for a dirty coat. It is suitable for frequent washing when needed and can complement the treatment of atopic dermatitis. For pets with recurring dryness, the aim is a clean coat and more comfortable skin, with moisture care built into the bath itself rather than relying on perfume to create a freshly washed impression.
Dry skin can feel tight and become scaly, with small flakes appearing through the coat or on bedding. Some pets scratch, rub against furniture or lick particular areas, while others simply have a coat that looks less smooth than usual. The outermost skin layer, called the stratum corneum, contains flattened cells surrounded by natural fats, or lipids. Together, these form a barrier that slows water loss and limits contact with environmental irritants. When that barrier is weakened, moisture escapes more readily and the skin becomes more vulnerable to discomfort. Sensiderm Shampoo provides gentle cleansing and moisturising care for this delicate surface. By combining these two jobs, Sensiderm Shampoo is well suited to skin that needs washing without an unnecessarily harsh cleansing routine.
The cleansing ingredients in Sensiderm Shampoo are surfactants, which help water lift dirt and oils away from the skin and hair. Its formula uses a blend of mild surfactants rather than relying on a heavily perfumed finish. Removing dirt, loose skin flakes and material caught in the coat can make grooming more comfortable and reduce the amount of debris resting against sensitive skin. Thorough rinsing then carries those loosened particles away. Sensiderm Shampoo is fragrance-free, so no added scent is needed to create the impression of cleanliness. This can be a useful choice for pets whose skin-care routine is deliberately kept simple. A soft massage during washing helps distribute the lather through the coat, particularly where dense hair makes it harder for water to reach the skin beneath.
Moisturising ingredients help the freshly cleaned skin retain its suppleness. Sensiderm Shampoo contains glycerin, a humectant that attracts water, alongside emollient ingredients including shea butter and squalane, which help soften the skin surface. Ceramide NP belongs to a group of lipids naturally associated with the skin’s protective outer layer. The formula also includes panthenol, niacinamide, Centella asiatica and the red algae extract Asparagopsis armata. These ingredients form part of the product’s approach to hydration, soothing care and barrier maintenance. Sensiderm Shampoo uses Skin Barrier Protect technology to bring those functions together. The combination is intended to leave sensitive skin more comfortable after cleansing and to provide repeated moisture care over time, especially where dryness is a recurring feature of the pet’s skin condition.
Atopic dermatitis is an inflammatory skin condition associated with allergic responses to substances in the environment, such as pollens or house-dust mites. Itching, rubbing and licking can damage an already vulnerable skin barrier, making the skin more sensitive and creating further irritation. Sensiderm Shampoo can be used alongside treatment for this condition to provide gentle washing and hydration. Bathing can also remove some of the material deposited on the coat during walks or normal indoor activity. Sensiderm Shampoo addresses the cleansing and moisturising needs of the skin, while medicines used for allergic disease control the underlying inflammatory response. The most comfortable washing schedule varies between pets: a dog with a dense coat and regular outdoor exposure may need a different routine from a cat with localised dryness and little tolerance for bathing.
To use Sensiderm Shampoo, wet the coat thoroughly, apply the product and gently work it through to the skin. Leave it in contact for at least five minutes before rinsing thoroughly with clean water. Lukewarm water, a calm setting and a gentle touch can make the bath more comfortable for a pet with delicate skin. Avoid the eyes and prevent licking while the shampoo is on the coat. Dry carefully afterwards, including between the toes and in areas where moisture can remain trapped beneath thick hair. Sensiderm Shampoo can be paired with Sensiderm Spray between baths: the shampoo provides a rinse-off wash, while the spray supplies leave-on moisturising care. The washing frequency should reflect the pet’s skin needs, with the directions on the supplied pack used for each application.
What is Sensiderm Shampoo used for?
Sensiderm Shampoo is used to cleanse and moisturise sensitive skin in dogs and cats. Its gentle, fragrance-free formula helps care for dryness and maintain the protective skin barrier. It can also complement treatment for atopic dermatitis, where regular skin hydration and suitable washing are useful.
Can Sensiderm Shampoo be used on cats?
Yes. Sensiderm Shampoo is intended for both cats and dogs. Wet the coat, work the shampoo gently through to the skin, allow at least five minutes of contact and rinse thoroughly. Keep it away from the eyes and prevent licking while the product is on the coat.
How long should I leave Sensiderm Shampoo on?
Leave Sensiderm Shampoo on the wet coat for at least five minutes before rinsing. This gives the formula contact with the skin during washing. Use a gentle massage to distribute it, then rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry carefully, particularly between the toes.
Is Sensiderm Shampoo fragrance-free?
Yes. Sensiderm Shampoo is fragrance-free, making it an option for pets whose sensitive skin needs gentle cleansing without added perfume. Its moisturising ingredients include glycerin, shea butter and skin lipids. Cleanliness comes from washing and rinsing the coat, with hydration included in the same formula.
Does Sensiderm Shampoo help dry, flaky skin?
Sensiderm Shampoo can help care for dry, flaky skin by gently removing surface debris while supplying moisturising ingredients. Glycerin attracts moisture, and emollients help soften the skin. Persistent flaking can have several causes, so the shampoo works best within care suited to the underlying skin condition.
How often can I wash my pet with Sensiderm Shampoo?
Sensiderm Shampoo is designed for sensitive skin and can be used for frequent washing when needed. The best interval depends on the pet’s coat, skin condition and other treatments. Use the frequency recommended for your pet, with a thorough rinse after every application.
