Camamu Soap is owned by Stuart Bailey and Anca Ivan Bailey, based in Portland, Oregon. They are a husband and wife team committed to green living, and continuing the ethos and mission of creating 100% natural skincare products through artisanal techniques. They have created the “Dirty Dog Shampoo” soap Free of chemicals, pesticides and harsh detergents, Dirty Dog Shampoo by Camamu Soap is made from nourishing, conditioning base oils such as olive, coconut, castor, palm, apricot kernel, avocado, neem and sweet almond. To combat fleas and ticks, the shampoo is infused with neem leaf powder and scented with a flea and tick repellent essential oil blend of citronella, eucalyptus, lemon eucalyptus, cedar and petitgrain. The end result is a a shiny coat, non-itchy skin and a sweet smelling dog. As well as gently cleansing, this shampoo has the added benefit of removing poison oak and ivy oils (just in case your dog enjoys the occasional cross-country jaunt through the underbrush). Solid bar shampoos make it easy to clean your dog's underbelly and other harder to reach areas. This shampoo can be used by humans, too (especially great for dandruff).
