{ "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "FAQPage", "mainEntity": [ { "@type": "Question", "name": "What does hypoallergenic actually mean for dogs?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "In canine care, hypoallergenic means a product is less likely to cause an allergic reaction or skin irritation. Dogs can be highly reactive to harsh surfactants, synthetic fragrances, preservatives, and many essential oils — especially if they have existing skin conditions or weakened immune barriers. Tranquillum avoids these common triggers by using ultra-gentle, plant-based biosurfactants and omitting pure essential oils entirely. It’s crafted to cleanse without compromising the natural microbiome or lipid layer of your dog’s skin." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What ingredients should I avoid in dog shampoos if my dog has allergies?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "If your dog has sensitive or allergy-prone skin, avoid shampoos containing sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), parabens, synthetic fragrances, essential oils, and alcohol-based preservatives. These are common irritants that can disrupt the skin barrier or trigger inflammatory reactions. Tranquillum is formulated without any of these — instead, it uses non-stripping, biodegradable biosurfactants, botanical humectants, and natural prebiotics to cleanse gently and support skin balance." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Tranquillum contains botanical extracts — don’t these have essential oils in them?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Great question. While full-spectrum botanical extracts may contain trace aromatic compounds, they are not the same as pure essential oils. Pure essential oils are highly concentrated, volatile fractions distilled from plants — and many are irritating and highly toxic to dogs, especially when used undiluted. In contrast, full-spectrum extracts are gentler and preserve a broader range of the plant’s natural chemistry, including soothing polysaccharides, flavonoids, and antioxidants. Tranquillum’s Spagyric extracts are carefully selected for their low allergenic risk and dermal safety in canines, offering the benefits of herbal skin support without the intensity or volatility of pure essential oils." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Why doesn’t this shampoo foam as much as others? Is it still cleaning properly?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes — Tranquillum cleanses thoroughly, even without excessive foam. Most high-foaming shampoos use aggressive surfactants like SLS, SLES or high concentrations of Betaines, which lather well but can strip the skin’s natural oils, disrupt its microbiome and cause irritation. Tranquillum uses ultra-gentle, plant-based surfactants that are non-ionic and biodegradable. They produce a mild, creamy lather — enough to lift dirt, oil, and allergens — without irritating sensitive skin. In fact, less foam is often a sign of a more skin-compatible formula. Don’t worry: your dog is getting a proper clean, just with more kindness to their skin barrier." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What are Spagyric extracts?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Spagyric extracts are a form of botanical preparation rooted in classical Alchemy. The word “spagyric” comes from Greek — spao (to separate) and ageiro (to recombine). In this method, the plant is carefully broken down into its core components — essential oils, ferment-soluble compounds, and mineral salts — and then purified and recombined to preserve the plant’s full spectrum of therapeutic intelligence. Unlike conventional extracts, Spagyric preparations maintain the body (minerals), soul (essential oils), and spirit (ferment-based actives) of the plant. This yields a more holistic and energetically complete extract, which enhances both efficacy and bioavailability. Tranquillum includes Spagyric botanicals for their gentle potency and resonance with Nature — aligned with our Alchemical values and commitment to elevated care. " } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "My dog has healthy skin — is this shampoo still suitable?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Absolutely. Tranquillum is not just for problematic skin — it’s also designed to help maintain balance once skin health is restored. In our approach, balance means supporting the natural lipid barrier, microbiome, and immune responsiveness of your dog’s skin. Even healthy skin can be disrupted by harsh cleansers or environmental factors. Tranquillum gently cleanses without stripping, helping to preserve the skin’s equilibrium over time. It’s perfect as part of an ongoing wellness ritual for dogs with resilient skin as well as those with sensitivities. " } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Can I alternate Tranquillum with a medicated shampoo?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes. In fact, many guardians choose to alternate between Tranquillum and medicated shampoos. While medicated products often target acute conditions like infections, they can be irritating, drying or harsh with repeated use. In these cases, we recommend our Purgo & Immunio duo — a powerful yet natural remedy formulated for targeted cleansing and immune support. Tranquillum provides a gentle, rebalancing cleanse between treatments. Always follow your vet’s instructions for medicated protocols, and use Tranquillum to support overall skin resilience in between." } } ] }
