Why isn’t my Burt's Bees Natural Pet Care shampoo lathering?

Our Burt’s Bees Shampoos are formulated without SLS or other harsh detergents which can be irritating to a pet’s delicate skin. These types of chemicals create a lot of lather and foam which gives the illusion of a better clean, but ultimately they strip the skin of all good oils leaving dry, itchy skin and a brittle coat. We only utilize high quality, low-foaming coconut derived surfactants which gently and effectively clean while leaving a perfect balance of natural oils.
