What Makes Us Moo?
MooGoo’s Ethos has been the same since we started back in 2005;
“To make effective products using healthy ingredients, that we are comfortable using on ourselves and our loved ones.”
This all came to be when our founder noticed that his mother was using a white, pasty cream intended for use on cow udders to help with her skin condition (Psoriasis).
Although it seemed to help, the cream was thick and hard to apply. And so, our founder took on the task of reformulating it to make a nicer version for his mum.
The term “udder cream” was a bit crass for an old-fashioned lady so they referred to it as “MooGoo” (goo for the cows) and the name stuck.
Since then, we have grown in products and popularity for supporting people with skin conditions and for people also looking for healthier product alternatives; We utilise natural over synthetic ingredients, quality and family-first products that are Proudly Australian-made.
What do we avoid?
At MooGoo we pride ourself on avoiding all the nasties, free from all the things you cannot pronounce and last of least want to rub all over your skin & scalp.
SLS/SLES - Free from synthetic detergents that can dry and irritate skin, scalp and hair.
SILICONES - Silicones are best known for their occlusive properties (barrier-like coating) which can form on the skin and hair and upset our waterways.
PARABENS - Parabens can irritate sensitive skin and cause allergic reactions in broken skin conditions.
PHENOXYETHANOL- Phenoxyethanol can irritate sensitive skin due to its potential to cause allergic reactions and skin sensitisation.
HARSH PRESERVATIVES
FRAGRANCES CONTAINING PHTHALATES - Fragrances containing phthalates can exacerbate allergies and eczema in sensitive individuals, as these chemicals have been linked to skin irritation and allergic reactions, potentially worsening skin conditions. All our fragrances are below the EU threshold.
Anytime we mention skin problems it seems that everyone has a story to tell:
About one-third of Australians reported to having a long-term skin condition!
Some common skin conditions include Eczema, Psoriasis, Acne, Contact Dermatitis and skin sensitivity.
Supporting your skin barrier function is of utmost importance whether you suffer from a skin condition or not. Our skin is our largest organ and our first line of defense, now who wouldn’t want to take care of that!
