Cocamidopropyl Betaine (Amphoteric surfactant) carries the heaviest documented hazard profile in this formula and sets the ceiling for the ingredient score.
Clean Wise scores conservatively where a printed ingredient has no reference record yet. This is a Clean Wise research gap, not a manufacturer failing.
Applied directly to the dog's skin and coat, then rinsed. Whatever is not rinsed out is groomed and licked off.
The directions include a drying period before contact resumes, which is the single most effective control on residue exposure.
Normal use rinses the formula away before a dog contacts the surface, coat or bowl.
Transparency measures how much of the formula the maker publishes, not how good the formula is. A fully disclosed poor formula still earns full transparency points.
Clean Wise has not located a current safety data sheet or technical sheet for this exact product.
Product data was captured from the manufacturer's own product page rather than a reseller listing.
No relevant independent product certification is on file.
Sodium Laureth Sulfate may be associated with trace 1,4-dioxane depending on manufacture and purification. Clean Wise has not confirmed it is present in this product.
No carcinogenicity penalty was applied: the contaminant is a manufacturing possibility, not a confirmed component of this product. Documentation confidence is lower as a result.
View sourceAmerican Contact Dermatitis Society (peer-reviewed systematic review) classifies Cocamidopropyl Betaine as Allergen of the Year 2004. This identifies a hazard and does not by itself establish the risk from this finished product. Risk depends on concentration, route, frequency, dilution, rinsing, residue and use.
