Question

How to formulate a water-based serum for dog and cat fur care? Could you provide an example formula using ingredients that coat the fur for softness and smoothness, and ingredients that nourish the fur for strength?

Answer

Dog and Cat Fur Serum Formula

For caring for dog and cat fur, the same principles as human hair care can be applied. Ingredients are divided into two main groups: those that coat the fur to make it soft and smooth, and those that nourish the fur to make it stronger.

Recommended Ingredients

  • Fur Coating Group:
    • Clear-Cond™ (Quaternium-80): Helps make fur smooth, soft, weighted, and tangle-free. It is highly water-soluble, suitable for water-based serums.
    • HairSoft™ 843: A silicone copolymer that helps make fur soft, easy to comb, reduces static, and does not cause build-up on the fur.
  • Fur Nourishing Group:
    • Hydrolyzed Keratin (Liquid, Deodorized): Keratin protein that penetrates the fur well, helping to restore and protect damaged fur, making it stronger.
    • Hair-Prebiotic™: A prebiotic that adheres well to the fur, helping to soften and nourish the fur naturally.

Example Serum Formula (Water-Based)

Here is a basic example formula you can adjust:

  • Clear-Cond™ (Quaternium-80): 1-2%
  • HairSoft™ 843: 1-2%
  • Hydrolyzed Keratin (Liquid, Deodorized): 2-4%
  • Hair-Prebiotic™: 2-3%
  • Water: q.s. (quantity sufficient)
  • Preservative: As needed

Instructions:
Mix all ingredients in water. Stir until homogeneous.

How to Use:
Spray or apply the serum onto the dog or cat's fur. Do not rinse off.

This formula will help make your pet's fur soft, smooth, easy to comb, reduce tangles, and also receive nourishment to become stronger from within.
