# Fond Paws Components

Fond Paws Gentle Ear Rinse for Dogs & Cats: A plant based ear rinse for dogs and cats that cleanses the ear canal, dissolves wax and clears odor, with a soft tip and no alcohol. The named components are listed below.

## Betaine Salicylate (Plant derived cleanser)

- Function: A gentle cosmetic ingredient that helps dissolve and soften built up ear wax so it wipes away cleanly, with no alcohol and no peroxide.
- Boundary: Cosmetic wax softening only — not a treatment for infections, mites or any condition.

## Witch Hazel (Hamamelis Virginiana)

- Function: A plant extract used to soothe the look of itchy, irritated ears and gently tone the skin, as a mild astringent that does not sting.
- Boundary: Soothing and sensory function only — makes no medical or anti itch drug claim.

## Disodium EDTA (Cosmetic stabilizer)

- Function: A common cosmetic stabilizer that binds trace minerals to keep the rinse fresh and to help it spread cleanly through the ear canal.
- Boundary: Formulation stabilizer only — has no cleaning or medical claim of its own.

## Lavender and mint (Plant extracts)

- Function: Lavender and mint plant extracts that leave a mild, fresh scent and a clean feel, chosen to be kind to dogs and safe around cats.
- Boundary: Scent and sensory function only — not an insect control or medical claim.
