Why it exists
Pet dry shampoo has been culturally undervalued for fifty years. Resurrection is what happens when the bottle is held to the same standard as the rest of the shelf: 14 GRAS-listed ingredients, each named on the bottle, at a dog-safe pH — with sandalwood, neroli, and vetiver instead of synthetic cherry.
How it works
Resurrection isn't a perfume that pretends to clean. It's a cleanser engineered to lift and absorb at the coat's surface, then leave the kind of scent you'd notice on yourself.
Rice starch and kaolin clay draw oils and odor molecules to the coat's surface. Microns thick. No water needed.
Colloidal oatmeal, aloe juice, panthenol, and a botanical probiotic complex restore softness while you comb.
The bespoke fragrance — sandalwood, neroli, vetiver — settles into the coat as a quiet trail, not an announcement.
Ingredient transparency
Every ingredient appears on the bottle in standard INCI nomenclature. No proprietary blends. No "fragrance" line hiding twenty synthetics. The list below is the list on the label.
The Absorbents
The three ingredients that do the cleansing work. Rice and oatmeal lift oils; kaolin gives the mist its body without leaving residue.
The Conditioners
Plant-derived emollients and a botanical extract that leave the coat soft, never sticky.
The Microbiome
A plant-fermented probiotic complex that supports the coat's natural barrier between baths.
The Scent
Developed with an independent perfumer on a brief that began with Le Labo Santal 33 and ended somewhere quieter. IFRA pet-topical compliant.
The Preservation
EWG-approved, paraben-free preservation system that protects the formula for 36 months.
Never included
Free of the sixteen essential oils dogs should not encounter. No parabens, sulfates, phthalates, silicones, or artificial colors.
The Ritual
A coat refresher is a ritual if you decide it is. We've described ours below in the register of a perfumer's instruction card.
Step 01
Hold the bottle approximately 15 cm from the coat. Three short pulls. Resist the temptation to over-apply.
Step 02
A wide-tooth comb, from the spine to the flanks. Calm strokes. Let the rice starch lift the surface.
Step 03
The mist absorbs. The scent settles. The dog notices the change in attention before the change in coat.
Questions, answered
Yes. Resurrection is pH-balanced for canine skin (6.0–7.5) and formulated with ingredients on the standard pet-safe topical list. We recommend a small patch test along the spine before first use on any new dog, and avoiding the eye area regardless of age.
Up to three times a week is comfortable for most dogs. Resurrection is a coat refresher, not a substitute for the occasional water bath — think of it as the ritual between baths, not the replacement for them.
Sandalwood at the base, neroli at the top, vetiver running through the middle. Quiet. Closer to a Le Labo or a Diptyque than a pet store. The dog should smell like the household, not like a product.
Yes. We formulated for thick, curly, and double-coated dogs specifically — the viscosity is higher than most no-rinse sprays so the formula actually reaches the undercoat rather than evaporating at the surface.
The fragrance is IFRA Category 5A compliant (the standard for leave-on topicals) and excludes every essential oil on the canine-toxic list — no tea tree, eucalyptus, pennyroyal, wintergreen, pine, cinnamon bark, clove, citronella, sweet birch, anise, calamus, sassafras, or tansy.
Thirty days. If Resurrection doesn't earn its place on your shelf, send the bottle back — full or half-empty — and we'll refund the order. No questions, no restocking fee.
