Good, check the flags
Scored October 2026 · checkthepanel.com
3 flagged ingredients.
Avoid first. Each flag costs points in the score above; where a flag has an entry behind it, it links to the evidence.
Essential oil blend
Natural does not mean inert; several essential oils are documented irritants, especially for cats.
Fragrance
One word that can legally hide dozens of undisclosed compounds; a common trigger for skin and airway irritation.
Cosmetic preservatives
Includes formaldehyde releasers and potent contact allergens worth knowing by name.

The brand behind it.
Arm & Hammer
Baking-soda-based grooming and litter lines; transparent about ingredients, though the scented products use fragrance and (in shampoo) a formaldehyde-releasing preservative.
Church & Dwight publishes full ingredient disclosures online, so the panel is auditable even where it leans on fragrance and clay. The A grade takes nothing off this product's score.

Third-party lab findings for things that never appear on an ingredient label. This is separate from the score above and does not change it.
We haven't found published third-party lab results (PFAS, heavy metals, phthalates) for this product. That is not a clean bill of health, just an absence of data.

This page was corrected once.
- Oct 24, 2026 Panel Score 76 → 84: the avoid flag “Formaldehyde-releasing preservative” is now the caution “Cosmetic preservatives”, and added a caution for Essential oil blend. The panel lists DMDM hydantoin, a preservative that releases small amounts of formaldehyde. Our library rates it a caution, with the other preservatives in shampoos; the record carried a stronger flag of its own for the same line. The panel also lists lavender and verbena flower extracts and lemon peel oil, which our library reads as an essential oil blend, and the record was not carrying the flag.
