Nettles. One of our favourite ingredients!
Nettles, scientifically known as Urtica dioica, offer several potential benefits for the skin. While their stinging hairs can cause discomfort when in direct contact with the skin, nettle extracts and preparations have been used for centuries in traditional medicine and skincare.
Here are some of the reasons why we love to use them in our pet skincare products
Anti-inflammatory Properties: Nettles have anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe and calm irritated or inflamed skin. They may be beneficial for individuals with conditions like eczema, dermatitis, or psoriasis, as well as those experiencing itching or redness. One of the reasons we use them in some our skin masks
Skin Rejuvenation: Nettles have been traditionally used for their potential skin rejuvenating effects. They may help stimulate circulation, improve skin elasticity, and regulate natural oil production. This is why we use them in our shampoo bars for dry skin and greasy hair and our shampoo bars for greasy hair and skin.
Moisturizing and Hydrating: Nettles can help hydrate and moisturize the skin. They may assist in maintaining the skin's moisture balance, leaving it soft, supple, and nourished.
Antimicrobial Benefits: Nettles possess antimicrobial properties that can help combat certain bacteria and fungi on the skin. They may aid in maintaining a healthy skin microbiome and can be beneficial for individuals with acne-prone or blemish-prone skin.
Healthy hair growth: Nettles encourage healthy hair growth, which comes in turn with the other skin benefits. This makes it a perfect ingredient to use in some of our shampoo bars and our skin masks.
