"Written by Shanlee Johnson\n\nWhy natural ingredients?\nJust as you wouldn't use harsh chemicals on a newborn baby, you should also avoid pet care products based on chemicals. Did you know that the grooming products you apply to your pet's fur and paws can also be absorbed into their bloodstream through their skin and breathed into their lungs? See below how important it is to choose the right ingredients in grooming products to make your pet feel good and live a long and healthy life.\n\n\n5 HARMFUL INGREDIENTS YOU SHOULD AVOID\n1. Sodium lauryl sulfate\nThese are often used in regular human and pet shampoos as surfactants creating a rich lather that many people associate with effectiveness. However, these ingredients are harsh on the skin and fur and are thought to be absorbed into the internal organs where they tend to stay for up to a week.\n2. Strong Artificial fragrances &amp; phthalates\nThese are often petroleum-based and are used because they are cheap and plentiful. Phthalates are known to be endocrine disruptors.\n3. Artificial colors\nThese dyes are made from cheap ingredients that can be made from coal tar and can contain heavy metal salts such as arsenic and lead. They can also irritate and make the dog inflamed and cause allergies and pimples, including hot spots.\n4. Parabens\nParabens penetrate the skin and cause some cancers, tumors and reproductive problems. Parabens are also bad for the environment.\n5. Mineral oils Mineral oil is petroleum-based and can clog pores and inhibit the skin's breathing. It also interferes with your pet's skin's ability to produce its natural oils.\n\n\nWhat are the main benefits that your beloved fur baby will experience after using natural pet care products?\n&bull; Fewer allergies and side effects\n&bull; Better immune system\n&bull; Healthier skin and coat\n&bull; Longer lifespan\n&bull; Faster healing\n&bull; Reduced risk of skin irritation\nAnd we cannot forget the positive environmental impact that natural products use for our seas, rivers and land. Not to mention, your fur babies interact with your children and avoid the toxins that are close to your family.\nNATURAL INGREDIENTS in our LOMI products\nHere are some wonderful natural options from herbs and plants to help you care for your pet safely and keep them healthy naturally.&bull; Coconut oil: Improves the skin and cares for skin conditions such as eczema, flea allergies, and itchy skin.\n&bull; Green tea extract: Has a relevant chemo-preventive effect against cancer\n&bull; Chamomile: Helps soothe inflamed and irritated skin\n&bull; Oatmeal: Softens and cleans your pet's hair and skin.
