Chris Christensen Systems SmartWash 50 Hydrating Blend Shampoo, Concentrate 50:1

Chris Christensen Systems SmartWash 50 Hydrating Chamomile Shampoo is a professional, highly concentrated, deeply hydrating shampoo of the highest show grade, created specifically for dogs and cats with dry, depleted, brittle or lifeless coats. This original American product offers unrivalled economy with its 50:1 dilution ratio. The shampoo gently penetrates deep into the hair and undercoat to remove dirt, sebum and residue from heavy styling products, while restoring and sealing in the skin's natural moisture. Thanks to its powerful moisturising and soothing properties, it restores the hair's elasticity, adds a gorgeous silky shine and leaves the coat manageable, soft and pleasantly scented without adding artificial fillers.

Intensive moisturising and the perfect microclimate for skin and hair

A dry, dehydrated coat is prone to constant breakage, split ends and the rapid formation of stubborn knots and mats that spoil the animal's overall look. Frequent drying with hot air, environmental factors and harsh products strip the hair of its natural protective oils. The SmartWash 50 Hydrating Chamomile line was developed by leading experts in the USA to offer uncompromising cleansing and an intensive spa treatment at the same time. The rich, dense lather captures dust and dirt but leaves the skin's lipid barrier completely intact.

The formula acts as a natural conditioner that smooths the hair cuticle, eliminates static electricity and makes brushing easier. It soothes irritated, dry or itchy skin, supporting its quick regeneration. After washing, the coat gains remarkable vitality, more weight and a healthy, luxurious shine, which is critically important for an excellent performance in the show ring. The shampoo is completely safe for regular use and is the perfect base for any professional grooming routine.

Directions for use

The product is super concentrated and must be diluted before use. Directions for use: Dilute the shampoo in a suitable mixing container at a ratio of 50 parts warm water to 1 part product (for example, about 10-15 ml of shampoo to 500-750 ml of water). Wet the animal's coat completely with lukewarm water. Apply the diluted solution evenly over the whole body and massage thoroughly until a rich, creamy lather forms. Protect the delicate areas around the eyes, ears and nose. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. If needed, and for very heavy soiling, you can repeat the procedure. For a perfect silky effect, follow with a suitable conditioner from the Chris Christensen lines. The original product label must be kept entirely in its original form in English.

Frequently asked questions

Question 1: What coat type is Hydrating Chamomile shampoo best suited to? The product is ideal for any coat that is dry, depleted, or damaged by the sun or harsh treatments. It works perfectly on long-haired dogs and cats that need extra hair elasticity, weight and a silky finish, as well as on animals with dry, red and flaky skin. Question 3: How long does the scent last on the coat after washing? The SmartWash 50 line is known for its high-quality, long-lasting fragrance formulas. The soothing, fresh chamomile scent penetrates deep into the structure of the hair and undercoat and remains noticeable for several days after the bath, effectively neutralising unpleasant odours.

Expert tip

When working with a severely dehydrated or damaged coat, proper preparation is the key to success. Always dilute Chris Christensen SmartWash 50 Hydrating Chamomile at exactly 50:1. To let the hydrating components work to their full capacity, once you have lathered the shampoo well over the dog's body, leave it on the coat for about 2 to 3 minutes before rinsing. Rinse with moderately warm, closer to cool water: hot water dries the hair further and opens the cuticle too much. To seal in moisture for the long term, always apply the matching nourishing conditioner after the shampoo. Store the original bottle tightly closed in a cool place away from direct sunlight.
