Overview

["TropiClean built this Max Strength formula around Sesamum Indicum, or sesame oil, as the active ingredient rather than a synthetic pesticide, and it's made in the USA. The label lists it for all life stages, so puppies and seniors are both covered by the same bottle.", "It's also labeled gluten free, and the 20 oz bottle weighs about 1.5 lbs, sitting in the middle ground between the small 8 oz single-dog bottles and the jumbo multi-bath sizes elsewhere in this category.", "At $17.99, it's mid-range on price, but it backs that up with real numbers, 6,657 reviews averaging 4.5 stars and about 2,000 units bought in the past month, making it one of the more popular naturally-derived options here."]

Performance notes

The Sesamum Indicum, or sesame oil, active ingredient positions this as a gentler, naturally-derived alternative to shampoos built on synthetic pyrethrins, and the all life stages label means one bottle works across a multi-dog household with different ages. At 1.5 lbs for a 20 oz bottle, it's a mid-size option, larger than the typical 8 oz single-dog bottle but smaller than jumbo multi-bath sizes.

What buyers say

With 6,657 reviews at a 4.5 star average and around 2,000 bought in the past month, this is one of the higher-volume, well-reviewed shampoos in this lineup.
