Flags-16 points in all

4 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.

Caution-4

Propylene glycol

A synthetic humectant and solvent; banned from cat food over red-blood-cell effects, and easy to avoid in grooming and treats alike.

Caution-4

Fragrance

One word that can legally hide dozens of undisclosed compounds; a common trigger for skin and airway irritation.

Caution-4

Tea tree oil

Tolerated diluted, a documented poisoning risk concentrated; cats are markedly more sensitive.

Caution-4

Undisclosed material

The label says preservative without saying which. We flag some preservatives, so an unnamed one hides whether it is one of them; the flag is about the missing name, not a known hazard.

BTransparency

TropiClean

Widely stocked grooming brand; the medicated oatmeal formula relies on a fragrance blend and propylene glycol.

Discloses its ingredient list, though it uses an undisclosed "fragrance" blend and propylene glycol. The B grade takes 2 points off this product's score.

Independent testing & contaminants

No independent testing on file.

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 16, 2026 Panel Score 86 → 78: added cautions for Tea tree oil and Undisclosed material. The panel lists tea tree oil, which our library flags, and the record was not carrying the flag. Its last line says only “Preservative”: we flag some preservatives, so one the label doesn't name hides whether it is one of them, and since October 16, 2026 such a line reads as Undisclosed material, a caution about the missing name, not a known hazard.
