Why Choose Frankincense?

Frankincense has been valued for centuries as a skin-soothing and calming oil. In dog grooming, it:

  • Promotes a soft, shiny coat

  • Reduces dryness and irritation

  • Provides a subtle earthy fragrance (not overpowering)

  • Helps calm anxious dogs during bath time

 

🐶 Why Natural Dog Shampoo is the Best Choice

When we buy shampoo for ourselves, most of us look for formulas that are kind to skin and free from harsh chemicals. Dogs deserve the same care. Unfortunately, many conventional pet shampoos contain sulfates, parabens, and artificial perfumes that strip away natural oils, leaving skin itchy and coats dull.

 

By switching to natural alternatives, you’re protecting your dog’s skin barrier while also caring for the planet.

The top benefits of natural dog shampoo:

  • ✅ Gentle, non-irritating cleansing

  • ✅ Supports the skin’s natural balance

  • ✅ Eco-friendly and biodegradable

  • ✅ Suitable for regular use without dryness

 

🌸 The Story of Frankincense: From Ancient Remedy to Modern Dog Care

Frankincense isn’t just for incense or meditation. For thousands of years, it’s been used in traditional wellness practices thanks to its:

  • Soothing properties for skin

  • Grounding, calming aroma for stress relief

  • Anti-inflammatory reputation in natural medicine

When paired with coconut-based cleansers, it creates a spa-like wash for dogs that nourishes both coat and spirit.

 

Fun Fact: Ancient Egyptians called Frankincense “the sweat of the gods” — and today, your dog gets to enjoy its natural goodness in a safe, gentle way.

Exceptional!

It's the Mickey!
It works extremely well, and is ideal as an after all-night-dance recuperative, or any other extreme activity.
The pleasant aroma is an added bonus, it's a nice change from the pungency of other products, as my wife does not object to me applying it. I thoroughly recommend this product.

My go to equine skin care

I just keep coming back for more of this. It literally can be used from head to hoof. I use it for wounds. Wound cleaning. Bacterial skin infections. Thrush. Insect repellent. Coat shine. Hoof shine and hoof health. Hair growth after an Injury. Dry skin. It even works to repel mud from manes and tails. Knees, hocks and socks. If there is any mud. Just a quick squirt the hose and the hair and skin are Instantly clean. It should be in everyone’s grooming and first aid kit. Great quality spray bottle too. I’ve been through a few and they work great. Such an awesome product. Smells amazing and my horse thanks you.

Thank you!

The lovely owner of this company gave me some of this for free at the Baby Show and I was sceptical because my 1yr old son is allergic to most soaps and skin products, but... We have been using it a few months now and this is the first product we have used that has not caused a rash and has cleared up his eczema! And it actually cleans him! The scent is subtle and pleasant and it forms a great lather. THANK YOU!

Healing Hands

Easy to use and dries quickly. Beautiful scents. Helps with my eczema and as it is non irritant I could use it on any part of my body that needs healing, with no hesitation.

What an incredible product. Not only has it soothed and softened my hounds paws, it has also removed the itch from my own eczema. I love the natural healing properties of this balm, and the scent is lovely too. Win Win!
