What Is Matico and Why Is It Used in Pet Care?
Matico, known scientifically as Buddleja globosa, is a flowering plant native to Chile and Argentina. For centuries, it has been used in traditional medicine by indigenous cultures to treat wounds, skin irritation, and digestive issues.
Matico was often prepared as an infusion for both topical and oral use, and was valued for its antiseptic properties in treating wounds and skin irritations. The leaves of the Matico shrub are rich in flavonoids, phenylethanoids, and other natural compounds that exhibit anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and analgesic properties.
Matico infusions were also traditionally used to relieve stomach and intestinal pain in both humans and animals, including horses. This natural remedy was recognized for its ability to soothe digestive discomfort and support overall stomach health.
In modern pet wellness, Matico spray for pets has become a trusted natural solution for addressing a wide range of skin conditions. Whether your dog or cat is dealing with dry skin, hot spots, minor wounds, or allergic reactions, Matico-based sprays provide gentle but effective relief without the need for synthetic chemicals or steroids.
At Kawell USA, we’ve harnessed the power of Matico in our Matico Natural Skin Sprays for Dogs and Cats, offering pet owners a safe, science-backed solution to common skin issues. Our Kawell USA Matico Spray for pets is formulated using purified water as a base to ensure safe and effective application.
These healing pet sprays are made with natural ingredients, are easy to apply, and can be used daily to support your pet’s comfort and recovery.
The Science Behind Matico: How It Heals
Matico promotes healing at every stage of the wound and skin recovery process:
-
Reduces inflammation by inhibiting the release of pro-inflammatory agents such as Prostaglandin E2 and Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF)
-
Accelerates healing by stimulating fibroblast growth, which contributes to tissue regeneration and collagen formation
-
Provides antioxidant support that protects skin cells from free radical damage
-
Relieves pain through mild analgesic effects and natural opioid receptor activation
-
Prevents infection with natural antimicrobial properties that inhibit bacteria and fungi
These combined effects make Matico a powerful yet gentle ally in treating your pet’s skin concerns without compromising safety or comfort.
Active Ingredients in Matico Spray
Matico Spray is crafted with a thoughtful combination of natural extracts and safe preservatives to ensure both effectiveness and safety for your pets. The star ingredient is Matico extract, derived from the leaves of the Matico plant—a remarkable species of flowering plant native to the lush rainforests of Chile and Argentina.
For generations, Chilean natives have relied on this plant to treat wounds and ease discomforts, thanks to its powerful anti-inflammatory properties.
To maintain the integrity and freshness of the spray, Sodium Benzoate and Potassium Sorbate are included as gentle preservatives. These ingredients help keep the formula stable and safe for use, without compromising its natural healing benefits.
The synergy of these natural extracts and carefully selected preservatives allows Matico Spray to effectively reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and support the healing of wounds and irritated skin in pets. This unique blend makes it a trusted solution for pet owners seeking a natural way to care for their animals’ skin health.

Non-Invasive Solution for Pet Skin Care
When it comes to caring for your pet’s skin, a non-invasive approach is often the most comfortable and stress-free option. Matico Spray offers a topical solution that is both easy to apply and gentle on sensitive skin.
Unlike oral medications or injections, which can be challenging for both pets and owners, this spray delivers targeted relief directly to the affected area—no swallowing or needles required.
By simply spraying onto the irritated or inflamed skin, you can help reduce inflammation and pain quickly and effectively. This makes Matico Spray an ideal choice for pets prone to skin irritations or those with delicate skin that reacts to harsher treatments.
Its gentle, topical application ensures your pet receives the care they need without unnecessary discomfort, making it a reliable and effective solution for maintaining skin health.
Comparison with Other Pet Skin Care Products
Matico Natural Healing Spray distinguishes itself from other pet skin care products through its commitment to natural healing and gentle care.

This means it not only soothes and heals the skin but does so without introducing unnecessary irritants.
The inclusion of safe preservatives like sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate ensures the product remains effective and stable, while still prioritizing your pet’s health.
Matico Spray is designed to be applied directly to the affected area, providing fast, targeted relief from pain and inflammation. Its gentle formula makes it suitable for regular use, even on sensitive skin, and its natural ingredients support true healing rather than just masking symptoms.
