Skin Microbiome Balance

When harmful microbes overgrow, it triggers irritation, odour and coat damage. Our protocol restores balance.

Skin Microbiome Balance

What we measure

Cats with persistent itching, flakes or coat-stain often have an imbalanced skin microbiome — a few strains overrepresented at the expense of the diverse community that keeps skin healthy. We use a layered protocol of antifungal-leaning cleansers, soothing oatmeal scrubs, and restorative leave-ins to bring populations back into balance over 1-2 visits. We deliberately avoid blanket-spectrum antibacterials that would also wipe out the beneficial strains.

Active ingredients

  • Ozone-Infused Water Role
    • Anti-inflammatory: reduces inflammation and redness.
    • Healing: promotes faster healing of skin issues.
    • Detoxifying: removes toxins from the skin.
    • Oxygenating: increases oxygen supply to skin cells.
  • Colloidal Oatmeal Role
    • Moisturizing: helps retain moisture in the skin, preventing dryness.
    • Cleansing: gently cleanses without stripping natural oils.
    • pH Balancing: maintains the skin's natural pH balance.
    • Antioxidant: contains avenanthramides that protect the skin from damage.
  • Amino Acid Cleansers Role

    pH-aligned with feline skin (~6.5) so the cleanse isn't destabilising.

  • Honey-Derived Enzymes Role
    • Mild exfoliation + natural antimicrobial activity; tolerated by sensitive cats.
    • Wound healing: helps minor cuts and abrasions recover.
    • Moisturizing: a natural humectant that draws moisture to the skin.
    • Anti-inflammatory: calms redness and swelling.
    • Antioxidant: protects skin from environmental damage.
  • Aromatic Salt Bath Role
    • Exfoliating: removes dead skin cells for a smoother coat.
    • Mineral-rich: provides essential minerals for skin health.
    • Detoxifying: draws out impurities from the skin.
