Cutania MalaBath Drying & Deodorizing Shampoo for Dogs, Cats & Horses (236 ml)

Drying, Deodorizing Shampoo for Kerato-Seborrheic Skin

Product Description

Cutania M-Shampoo by VetNova is a fragrance-free, veterinary-grade dermatological shampoo formulated for dogs, cats, and horses with kerato-seborrheic skin conditions. Its synergistic blend of boric acid, glycolic acid, ceramides, and glycerine delivers keratolytic, lipolytic, drying, and deodorizing action. Antibiotic, azole, phosphate, paraben, and DEA-free, it deeply exfoliates and renews the skin epithelium for short-term and long-term dermatological care.

Benefits

• Keratolytic & Lipolytic Action: Glycolic acid breaks down excess keratin and lipids, helping remove dead skin layers and manage scaling.
• Drying & Deodorizing Effect: Boric acid's acidifying and astringent properties reduce excess moisture and neutralize unpleasant skin odors.
• Ceramide Barrier Restoration: Contains ceramides (phytosphingosine) that restore the epithelium and reinforce the skin's natural barrier function.
• Antibiotic & Azole Free: Free of antibiotics and azoles, this formula actively helps prevent the development of microbial resistance over time.
• Completely Fragrance Free: Unlike many dermatological shampoos, this product is fully fragrance free, reducing the risk of sensitivity reactions.
• Phosphate, Paraben & DEA Free: The formula is free of phosphates, parabens, and DEA, making it safer for pets and gentler on the environment.
