Announcing Fur Baby Naturals. A small-batch, handmade shampoo soap bar for pets! Currently in a final test phase among our circle of family and friends before public release.

Fur Baby Naturals is intentionally designed for pet skin that may be prone to pH sensitivities.

The point of difference with our all-natural shampoo soap bar is the infusion of Comfrey in plant-based oils (olive and coconut oil), and the addition of shea and cocoa butters. The properties of Comfrey leaf are known for promoting wound-healing, reducing inflammation, and soothing irritated skin. The addition of shea and cocoa butters promotes conditioning properties as well as enhances product longevity across washes. We have added 1% Neem Oil as a deterrent for mites and pests; however, the extent to which the active ingredients in Neem Oil remain active after the saponification process of pure soap-making, cannot be determined without direct product testing. This is the case for all pure soap-making, regardless of manufacturer claims.

This shampoo soap bar for pets contains no essential oils or fragrances, in line with best practice as per veterinarian recommendations of no or less than 1% for sensitive pet skin. Hence, we chose to err on the side of caution and go without fragrance additives.

We have personally used this soap bar on the animals in our world (dog coat, chook bums) and find it leaves them feeling exceptionally soft, clean and conditioned, free from odour. For further information, please see the ingredients list attached.

We're looking forward to releasing this product for public use once the test phase is complete.

Welcome to Vintage Vortex Artisan Crafts and thank you for following our page. We’re in the process of setting up our natural body care range, and we’re excited to share this journey as we grow.

So far, we’ve been busy developing samples and handing them out to family and friends, for feedback. We've taken on board that feedback and adjusted our formulas accordingly.

To date, we have an everyday gentle soap for general use, a fur baby soap (following veterinarian guidelines for pets), a luxury seasonal soap that emphasises fragrance and skin conditioning in line with the Australian seasons, natural anti-odourants (without baking soda), and we’re currently developing bath bombs and shower steamers too.

Each product is thoughtfully designed with function and ingredient qualities in mind for human (and fur baby) bodies.

Our philosophy is simple: Prioritise natural ingredients and low-tox living.

We look forward to sharing more about our creations, ingredients and processes in the coming weeks.
