Gentle Ear Cleaner — explained
A cleanser for cotton-pad wiping of the ear flap and visible external ear folds.
Why these ingredients?
Decyl glucoside supports cleansing. Water and witch hazel form the base; ethanol supports drying and glycerin supports feel. The formula also contains fragrance and a preservation system.
How to use
Apply to a cotton pad. Gently wipe the ear flap, visible folds and visible entrance only. Do not pour into the ear canal, insert cotton buds or reach deeper than you can see. Use as needed on healthy external surfaces.
Before you choose: Do not use on irritated, ulcerated or painful ears. Odour, discharge, redness, head shaking, pain or balance changes need veterinary advice. This is not an ear-infection treatment or a canal flush.
Ingredients in this product
Explore the ingredients in Gentle Ear Cleaner for Dogs, what they do and why we chose them. Select an ingredient to read more.
Distilled waterThe liquid base
Carries cleansing and conditioning ingredients and helps a product spread evenly. Using distilled water limits minerals introduced during manufacture; it does not make a finished product sterile.
Why we chose it: Thoughtful formulation starts with the base. Distilled water limits the minerals introduced into our products, giving the cleansing and conditioning ingredients a more consistent starting point.
Decyl GlucosideAnother type of cleanser
A nonionic surfactant commonly made from sugar and fatty-alcohol feedstocks. Used to round out cleansing and foam in Daily Gentle, and at a lower level in the external ear wipe. Plant-derived does not mean allergy-proof; Sensitive leaves it out.
Why we chose it: Different cleansing ingredients bring different strengths. Decyl glucoside complements the other cleansers in Daily Gentle and provides cleansing support at a lower level in our external ear cleaner.
GlycerinAttracts and holds moisture
A humectant: an ingredient that attracts and holds water. Included to support moisture and formula feel.
Why we chose it: Moisture support does not have to come from a rich oil. Glycerin attracts water and blends readily into our liquid formulas, making it a practical choice for supporting moisture and feel without adding an oily texture.
PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor OilA mixing helper
Helps oily ingredients such as fragrance disperse in a water-based formula. It is chemically modified from castor oil; its main job here is formula uniformity.
Why we chose it: An evenly blended product matters. This modified castor-oil ingredient helps disperse fragrance in water-based formulas, performing a mixing job that ordinary castor oil cannot do on its own.
EDTAA mineral-binding helper
Binds certain metal ions to support formula consistency and the preservation system. It is not a disinfectant treatment for your dog.
Why we chose it: Some useful ingredients work quietly behind the scenes. EDTA binds trace metals that can interfere with a formula, helping support product consistency and the preservation system.
Phenoxyethanol and EthylhexylglycerinThe preservation team
The ingredients in the Euxyl PE 9010 blend help protect water-based products from microbial spoilage. A preservative protects the product in its bottle; it does not make it an infection treatment.
Why we chose it: Caring for the formula inside the bottle matters too. This complementary preservation blend helps protect our water-based products against microbial spoilage, making it a functional part of the formulation.
Citric acidThe pH-adjustment helper
Used when needed to adjust a liquid formula to its target pH. It is not included as an exfoliating treatment, and pH alone does not prove suitability for every dog.
Why we chose it: The finishing details deserve care. We use citric acid when needed to adjust a liquid formula toward its intended pH, giving us a way to fine-tune the blend after its ingredients come together.
Witch hazel waterA botanical liquid in the ear wipe
Part of the external-ear cleansing base. The witch hazel raw material is alcohol-free, but the finished cleaner contains separately added ethanol and is not alcohol-free.
Why we chose it: We include witch hazel water as a botanical component of our external ear-cleansing base. It works within the complete wiping formula, alongside the ingredients responsible for cleansing, moisture balance and drying.
EthanolHelps the external ear wipe dry
Ethyl alcohol supports evaporation and a less lingering wet feel. It can sting damaged tissue; this product is for healthy, visible external ear surfaces, not a canal flush.
Why we chose it: For an external ear wipe, how the liquid dries matters. We include ethanol to support evaporation and reduce a lingering wet feel after wiping healthy, visible outer-ear surfaces.
Ear care fragranceFor scent in the ear cleaner
A small fragrance addition is included in Gentle Ear Cleaner. It is separate from the shampoo fragrance blend and is not an ingredient for treating ear disease.
Why we chose it: This fragrance contributes the scent of our ear cleaner. We keep its purpose straightforward: a sensory finishing touch within a formula designed for wiping healthy, visible outer-ear surfaces.
