Canis Oleum Add Texture Powder 1/2 oz

Canis Oleum Add Texture is a soft texturizing powder minus the stickiness or clumping found with some liquid products. Lift coat to improve scissoring without coating your scissors with a sticky, wet substance or add to areas to boosts volume without resorting to heavy sprays which may contain toxins or cause lung irritation.  

Additionally, the powder can be used for hand stripping making it easier to grasp and pull only the dead coat you want thus preserving coat texture and color for many terriers and sporting breeds. By applying the powder thoroughly within the coat, it will not only absorb excess oils and improve grip but contains a gentle, non-abrasive exfoliant which helps remove dead skin cells.  

Our cosmetic, in-house formulated proprietary blend is non-toxic, non-talc, non-chalk based using whole form, natural and responsibly sourced ingredients. Our formula includes anti-inflammatory, antioxidant compounds that sooth skin irritation, reduce redness while protecting the skin barrier.

Highlights

• Volumizing ultra-light powder.
• Hand Stripping aid.
• Absorbs excess oil on coat.
• Soothing formula for sensitive skin.
  

Instructions

Evenly distribute over coat with fingers, brush or powder sprayer. Massage gently into coat. Excess can be brushed out. Caution. Avoid contact with eyes and avoid near nose to prevent inhalation. 

Pro Tip

For scissoring: Add desired amount to area for scissoring. Gently lift coat with comb.

For hand stripping: Card the coat first to get required undercoat removed. Then hand strip by pulling the hair straight out without twisting or bending your wrist; otherwise, the hair gets cut or breaks. You should see a bulb at the end of the hair to show that it was pulled out at the follicle. Ideally hand stripping should be every 3-4 weeks.
