Oatmeal Formula Shampoo, Coconut Lime Verbena
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.
Fragrance
One word that can legally hide dozens of undisclosed compounds; a common trigger for skin and airway irritation.
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.
Added color
Color added for the buyer's eye, not a synthetic dye; your pet does not care what color it is.

The brand behind it.
Wahl
Value grooming line; the oatmeal formula adds fragrance and cosmetic dye that cleaner shampoos skip.
Names its ingredient list, but scents with an undisclosed "fragrance" and tints with FDA-approved colors. The B grade takes 2 points 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.

- Oct 24, 2026 Panel Score 86 → 82: added a caution for Undisclosed material. The panel lists “Freshness assurer”, a preservative named by its job rather than by what it is. We read a line like that as an undisclosed ingredient, as we read a bare “Preservative”, because we flag some preservatives and this one could be any of them. The caution is about the missing name, not a known hazard.
- Sep 21, 2026 Removed as a duplicate. The product is already in the catalogue as Oatmeal Formula Shampoo, Coconut Lime Verbena. This record came from a batch of scores built from ingredient summaries rather than printed labels, and the batch invented product names and sizes. Wahl makes one 24 oz oatmeal dog shampoo, not two.
