Labelling

Question of regulation. There is no cosmetics in veterinary medicine. As there is no specific regulation, they are considered as chemical mixtures (as detergent) and that’s why the pet skin care can have warning signs.

There are 2 types : drugs and others. Drugs = no signs. Others = yes, all have signs, excepted complementary feed (feed & food) which has their own regulation.

Those signs are a warning for irritation in eyes and impact on the environment for people who don’t bath their pet in a bathtub.

All the ingredients were carefully selected for their high tolerance on both human and pet skin. Ophytrium, our governing ingredient was tested on in vitro canine and human skin models and directly on human skin, with an excellent tolerance. All final formulas had their tolerance validated to guarantee a high level of safety.  In addition, those products have been tested in many clinical studies involving hundreds of pets that needed the products and tolerance was excellent.

DOUXO® S3 shampoos, as most of the shampoos and even human shampoos can be irritant for the eyes.
DOUXO® S3 PYO products contain chlorhexidine, that can be caustic for the eyes. Avoid any contact with the eyes.
Other mousses had been tested and not recognised as irritant. Nonetheless, avoid contact with ocular mucosa.
In case of contact with the eyes: rinse immediately with plenty of water. Please seek advice from your veterinarian and show him the bottle.

DOUXO® S3 CALM shampoo is only irritant for the eyes like human shampoos actually. DOUXO® S3 CALM mousse is not irritant for the eyes nor the skin. Our safety on itchy and irritated skin has been proven in our safety and clinical studies.
