THE FINAL COAT dog conditioner contains fatty alcohols, which are beneficial for your dog's coat. Unlike drying alcohols such as ethyl and isopropyl alcohol, which are often found in hand sanitizers and rubbing alcohol and can strip the hair of its natural oils, fatty alcohols like cetearyl alcohol and phenethyl alcohol are derived from plants and provide lubrication to the hair, reducing friction. Additionally, they moisturize the hair and reduce water evaporation, leading to a healthier, more hydrated coat. Finally, the inclusion of fatty alcohols in the conditioner increases its viscosity, giving it a creamy and silky texture.
