Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am giving this product 2 stars (instead of 1) because it did a fine job and I liked the smell. If you are not very concerned about the ingredients in your dog shampoo, you may love this one. Unfortunately, I was looking for a natural shampoo for my dog, and since the ingredients list for this product was deceptive, I unknowingly bought it. The list of ingredients on the bottle (and on the internet) is: Coconut shampoo base, aloe vera gel, essence of lavender, essence of mint, chamomile extract, sage extract, nettles extract, rosemary extract, wheat protein extract (natural deodorizing agent), tea tree oil, vitamin E, vitamin C. I e-mailed the company and asked for the list of ingredients in the "coconut shampoo base" and received the following: deionized water, cocamidopropyl betaine (CAPB), aloe extract, glycerin. On the Skin Deep Database (you can Google that) cocamidopropyl betaine has a hazard score of 5 (out of 10, with 10 being the most hazardous). The database says "Cocamidopropyl betaine is a synthetic surfactant; it has been associated with irritation and allergic contact dermatitis, reactions that could be due to the ingredient itself or to impurities present in it, such as 3-dimethylaminopropylamine." While this hazard score is determined based on humans, it's my hands that are washing my dog, and also my children's hands which are all over him afterward. I do not consider this product to be natural or healthy, and not listing all of the ingredients on the label seems to me deceptive on the part of Cloud Star.
