Pets bring so much joy and happiness with their presence in our lives. As pet owners, we tend to keep them happy but are most of us keeping them healthy from within? One essential factor of pet ownership, especially nowadays, is providing the best possible personal care for pets that keeps them happy and healthy from inside. Pet personal care might include the regular bathing, brushing, trimming, coat maintenance, etc., but with extra care and attention using natural pet skincare ingredients that are not harmful to them. As a result, it is crucial to treat the fur, coat, everything else with the highest care.
Today, the pet care market, especially the grooming segment is on the rise with remarkable growth in recent years. According to Munyadziwa Muvhali, around 50% households worldwide own a pet. This huge segment showcases the personal bond that humans share with their pets and highlights the significance of their health and grooming needs on a daily basis.
Grand View Research industry insights predicts that the pet care market value is expected to reach a staggering $350billion by the year 2027 with a spike of 6.1 per cent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) and 7.09 per cent by 2030. Such an incredible growth is not only driven by the increasing pet population and growing awareness of pet owners regarding the importance of pet care and grooming but also by pet humanization. Pet humanization refers to an expression of treating pets as family, where they are treated like children and taken utmost care by their owners.
We take care of ourselves under the name of “self-care” to stay happy, relaxed and healthy both internally and externally. Similarly, even our pets need that “care” on a regular basis with their everyday routines to keep them happy, relaxed and healthy! Not only are these sessions to pamper pets but also provide an opportunity to bond with them. With the physical touch and attention during grooming sessions can help build a positive and strong relationship of trust between pets and the owners. Pets feel loved, reassured and cared during these personal care routines, just the way we feel during our “me time.” The only difference is that, they cannot do it by themselves.
Here are some recommended ingredients for the furs we offer pet category as we continue our discussion of pet care rituals.
One of the key aspects to focus on during and after the grooming process is maintaining optimal moisture levels for the animal’s skin and fur. Incorporating moisturizing elements, whether through shampoos or conditioning sprays, becomes essential as it helps restore the coat’s softness and luster, promoting a healthier appearance. By prioritizing moisture balance in our grooming routines, we contribute to the overall health and beauty of our furry friends, enhancing their overall well-being and keep them looking their best.
Discover the effects of moisturizing ingredients that bring back the luster and softness of the pet’s coat. Let’s give our furry friends the pampering they need to rise and shine!
As discussed in the previous article, our skin consists of a layer called epidermis which is composed of multiple layers. The outermost layer consists of keratinized cells blended together by epidermal lipids. On the skin’s surface, a layer of sebum is secreted, offering moisturizing benefits to keep the skin hydrated. However, when the skin lacks moisture, sebum layer tends to diminish affecting the integrity of epidermal lipids. To maintain the moist, AC Moisture-Plex Advanced PF which is a hygroscopic polymer stabilizes epidermal phospholipids while significantly improving moisture retention. A complex blend of Glycerin, Sodium PCA, Urea, Polyquaternium-51 and Sodium Hyaluronate can be observed to increase the rate of cellular repair while minimizing the formation of scarred tissue, sodium hyaluronate is intended to facilitate cellular repair and renewal to minimize cracking and damage.

Vitamin C functions as an antioxidant as it protects the body against oxidative stress and is a cofactor in several vital enzymatic reactions, such as the formation of collagen in the skin. This essential vitamin is the most abundant antioxidant in the skin. However, the levels of Vitamin C in the epidermis deplete with age and exposure to both UV irradiation and pollution. The topical application of Vitamin C is critical as our skin is unable to synthesize this power molecule on its own.
AC Watercress Extract SF is standardized for 0.5 – 2.0% maximum Vitamin C content. Vitamin C is an essential nutrient, as the presence for Vitamin C is required for a range of essential metabolic reactions and is made internally by most organisms. AC Watercress Extract SF may be used to combine the benefits associated with the high content of phytochemicals watercress possesses, in addition to being standardized for Vitamin C, in a variety of personal care applications. It is commonly known that exposure to environmental stressors leads to the genesis of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that are the main contributors to the aging of the skin. An increase in ROS can increase the rate at which wrinkles and fine lines form which can be prevented by the use of AC Watercress Extract SF.

Olive vegetation water (OVW) is a by-product of the olive oil extraction process produced seasonally in a large quantity and is a major issue for olive oil producers. Sustainability has pushed olive leftovers to be revitalized in a zero-waste mindset with implementation of the reprocess to produce reusable materials. Normally dispersed over farmland, OVW has adverse effects on the environment because of their highly polluting organic load. Nevertheless, OVW could specifically be treated to obtain a unique reusable residue with a strong source of value-added phytochemicals.

Through natural selection, organisms have learned to adapt to unfavorable conditions to survive in their environment. The agave has had to develop a tolerance to extreme temperature fluctuations. The agave has adapted to thrive in such circumstances. It is resistant to fire, which is advantageous when living in hot and dry climates where other plants are prone to starting bush fires.
It is understood that the carbohydrates in the agave are capable of binding to water thus storing it for later use. Carbohydrates are often used in personal care products to increase hydration. Sugars are hygroscopic so they are capable of drawing moisture close to the skin where it is needed most. Agave nectar contains high levels of fructose and glucose and also contains sucrose and polyfructosans. In cosmetics, these sugars help to lock in moisture the same way they frugally store water reserves for the agave.

The use of proteins in personal care has come under scrutiny in recent years. The main reason being the association of protein sensitization, which is becoming more and more common. Wheat proteins are particularly divisive due to their potential gluten content, and in Europe, cosmetic regulations specify that their maximum molecular weight must not exceed 3.5 kDa. In hair care, the anti-protein movement has gone even further as “protein sensitive hair” can become stiff and brittle.
Based on modified cellulose, PhytoCycle® Orange promotes similar active activities to those of conventional hydrolyzed proteins. The PhytoCycle®Orange is a pseudo-protein system and can be used in place of proteins in hair care products to promote comparable benefits of hydration, protection, and manageability.

Ancient Indian civilization pioneered the use of fermentation for medicine and the fortification of resources. In India, the fermentation of rice has resulted in a plethora of diversified food and drinks of various tastes and textures. In cosmetics, the use of fermentation is useful for isolating or creating bioactive minerals that our bodies can easily recognize and therefore process more efficiently. Rice starch is rich in polysaccharides and the carbohydrate inositol, which has been shown to repair and protect damaged hair. Vitamin E, also known as tocopherol, is a potent antioxidant necessary for reducing oxidative stressors, such as harmful UV and pollution, by reducing and neutralizing free radicals that impart ageing effects on the hair.
ACB Rice Water SF is created by upcycling the rice water byproduct from the production of our Rice Solution, followed by fermentation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The material is then filtered to isolate the nutrient-rich rice water. Historically, fermented rice water has been shown to contain starch, Vitamin E, Vitamin B, essential amino acids, and organic acids.
