Iv San Bernard Green Caviar Luminance, 100 ml is a leave-in product for dogs and cats with any coat type that instantly gives the coat a flawless look. According to the description, it restores the hair and deeply moisturises it along its length, enhances the natural coat colour, removes dullness and leaves the coat smooth, silky and shiny. It protects against humidity, has a straightening effect and makes brushing easier, which makes it essential for show preparation. Ingredients: water, cyclopentasiloxane, C12-15 alkyl benzoate, hemp oil, fragrance and aromatic components.
How to use it
Use the product at the end of grooming on a clean coat. Spray it evenly from 10–20 cm, avoiding the eyes, then brush through. No rinsing is needed. It is for external use only. On long coats it is convenient to spray section by section, brushing each one straight away.

Pros

- Easier brushing. Silicone smooths the hair.
- Humidity protection. The style lasts longer.
- For any coat. Dogs and cats.
- For shows. Enhances coat colour.
Cons and what to watch
- No caviar in the recipe. Despite the name, the listed ingredients contain no caviar extract — silicone and hemp oil do the work.
- Many aromatic substances. Hexyl cinnamal, citronellol, limonene, geraniol and others are possible allergens.
- A cosmetic effect. The shine lasts until the next wash; it does not "treat" the coat.
- Cats groom themselves. A leave-in product will end up in a cat's mouth — apply sparingly.
How the spray works
Cyclopentasiloxane is a volatile silicone: it spreads the conditioning ingredients evenly along the hair and gradually evaporates, leaving a smooth, non-greasy finish. C12-15 alkyl benzoate makes the hair surface silky, and hemp oil adds softness and shine. Together they reflect light, so the colour looks deeper and brighter and the coat tangles and builds static less.
Before a show
The spray is applied at the very end of preparation — after washing, drying and trimming. Do not overdo it: a thin, even layer gives natural shine, while too much weighs the coat down and makes it look clumped. If coat texture is judged for a harsh-coated breed, check the breed rules, as some shine products are frowned upon.
The Green Caviar line
Luminance completes the Green Caviar routine. First the coat is washed with Green Caviar shampoo, then the conditioner or the 10-in-1 revitaliser is applied, and Luminance is used for the final shine. You do not have to use the whole line — the spray works after other shampoos too.
For cats
On cats, apply the spray very sparingly and only to the fur, not the skin, avoiding the areas the cat grooms most. It is not essential for everyday cat care — it is more of a product for shows and photo shoots.
Everyday care
The spray does not replace regular brushing and washing. A coat's shine depends largely on diet and overall health: if the coat is constantly dull, check the diet and discuss it with your vet. Tips are in caring for your dog's coat at home.
Storage
Keep the bottle closed at room temperature, away from children and heat sources. Shake before use if the contents have separated.
Who it suits
The spray suits owners of dogs and cats who want quick shine and vivid colour before a show, photo shoot or special occasion. Other products are in the Iv San Bernard section.
Verdict
Iv San Bernard Green Caviar Luminance is a leave-in spray based on volatile silicone with hemp oil: instant shine, vivid colour, humidity protection and easy brushing. The downsides are the absence of caviar extract in the listed ingredients, the many aromatic components and a cosmetic effect that lasts only until the next wash.
