Minou

Clary No.1 · Detangling wash for long-haired cats

01 · The knot

Long hair, long week.

A tongue grooms the top coat. The undercoat is where knots start, and by day nine they have set like felt.

02 · One pump

Five millilitres. That's all.

One pump covers a long coat from ruff to tail. Oat base, pH 6.8, and no fragrance oils.

03 · Lather, rinse

Foam that lets go.

Slip agents loosen each knot while the coat is wet, then rinse out completely in ninety seconds. Nothing left to lick off.

04 · The coat

Combed straight through.

No tugging, no clippers, no sulking under the bed. The comb runs root to tip on the first pass.

05 · Minou

Zero knots. Full strut.

Salon care for Persians, Maine Coons and every long coat in between, made to be used at home.

Why a cat shampoo at allShort coats look after themselves. Long ones need a hand once a month.A long-haired brown cat sitting on a marble vanity, looking at itself in the bathroom mirror

A long-haired cat grooms for hours a day and still loses to the undercoat. Brushing alone pulls, and clippers are the last resort. So we made one wash that does the part a tongue can't: it loosens knots while the coat is wet and rinses out completely, so there is nothing left to lick off afterwards.

Drag the comb

Same cat, one bath apart. Pull the handle across to see what a single wash with Clary No.1 does to a nine-day tangle.

After: the same cat with a long, glossy coat falling straight Before: a paw pulling at a matted, tangled coat
