Which Moisturizer Is Best for Me?

Sensitive skin? Struggling with skin  that is always dry? Maybe it’s cracked, compromised, irritated or red? Don’t worry, you’re not the only one dealing with some kind of skin situation. It seems that everyone we talk to has a skin problem, or at least knows somebody who does. That’s why we created MooGoo! What started as one original cream has now grown into a range of over 40 products that help people with their skin and scalp issues, all of which are suitable and safe to use for all skin, all over, and all ages.

Not sure which one to go with? We created our creams with specific solutions in mind, so there is a method to the large selection of moisturizers we offer. Here’s what each of our moisturizers has to offer, so you can confidently pick the best one for you! 

Perfect For:  Dry, Dull, Fragile Skin

Key Ingredients: Milk Protein, Rice Bran Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Aloe Vera

RRP: from $19.99

This is the infamous Skin Milk Udder Cream, the one that started it all. You know the story, right? If not you can read all about how MooGoo came to be. This lightweight moisturizer is full of naturally nourishing and soothing oils like Rice Bran, Sweet Almond, and Olive Oil that penetrate into the skin to restore skin hydration for up to 24 hours. We also included Aloe Vera to soothe the skin, and Milk Protein to increase skin elasticity which helps it remain youthful and supple. As with all MooGoo products, it’s 100% free from Parabens, Phenoxyethanol, and other harsh, nasty chemicals commonly found in skincare. 

Because of these potent soothing ingredients, many medical professionals began noting Skin Milk's effectiveness as a moisturizing cream for oncology patients suffering dry, damaged and compromised skin following radiation treatment and chemotherapy. 

Skin Milk Udder Cream is suitable for everyone and if you're new to our moisturizers, it's a great place to start.

Perfect For: Dry, Thirsty Skin

Key Ingredients: Olive Squalane, Coconut Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Milk Protein, Apple Cider Vinegar

RRP: from $21.99

Our Full Cream Moisturizer was the second moisturizer we made. The difference between this and our Skin Milk Udder Cream is that our Full Cream Moisturizer is targeted at those with more flaky, thirsty and dry skin. It’s thicker, creamier (hence the name), and richer as well.

It features the same soothing properties as the Skin Milk Udder Cream, but with some tweaks for extra hydration. For example, we added Coconut Oil and Olive Squalane, both of which are high in the types of fatty acids that healthy skin needs and loves. This means deeper, heavy-duty hydration can be achieved! 

You’ll see Milk Protein again, plus Apple Cider Vinegar and Honey to soothe and protect the skin.

Soothing MSM Moisturizer

Perfect For: Sensitive, Red, Itchy, Irritated Skin

Key Ingredients: MSM, Aloe Vera, Sweet Almond, Coconut, Olive Oil 

RRP: from $23.99

Our Soothing MSM Moisturizer is for when things have really gone array. Had a long day at the beach and resembling a tomato more than a human? Soothing MSM will calm and soothe your skin, and you'll even feel the heat fade from skin. Chemical burns? Severe reactions? Or simply just extra fussy skin? Our Soothing MSM Moisturizer will help comfort any stress or inflammation your skin may be under. The star ingredients in this beautiful medium-weight wonder? Olive Squalane, Allantoin and of course MSM.

So, what is MSM? MSM is Organic Sulphur, and stands for Methylsulfonylmethane (try saying that five times!). In the human body, MSM acts as the “glue” that holds together our amino acid chains - aka the building blocks of all tissues. Not only does it combat inflammation caused by redness, irritation, and sensitivities, but because of its positive association with collagen, it can also ward off wrinkles by decreasing the breakdown of collagen beneath the skin. What a show-off! It is even believed to improve hair and nail growth, fight against cracked or thinning nails, and improve the overall health of cuticles - so we implore you to try it as a hand cream as well.

Those dealing with painful acute acne may also find relief due to its calming and anti-inflammatory properties from the likes of Sweet Almond and Coconut Oil - both high in fatty acids that healthy skin needs and irritated skin loves.

Perfect for: All Skin Types, Including Sensitive

Key Ingredients: Sweet Almond Oil, Olive Squalane, Niacinamide, German Chamomile, Aloe Vera

RRP: $29.99

We made this lotion after getting a lot of requests from our customers and stockists to add a light(er)weight formula to our moisturizer range. Our classic Skin Milk Udder Cream has generally been our suggestion for those looking for an all-around restorative cream, but it seems that there are many people that prefer something even lighter, particularly when dealing with thin, very sensitive, or damaged skin. Heavier creams are great for deeply nourishing, nurturing, and protecting dry skin, but they can also take a little longer to soak in, especially all over the body on a regular basis. So, here is a time-saving lotion that will get the whole family hydrated, dressed, and out the door ASAP.

But don’t be fooled into thinking that lighter means less because the Fast-Hydrating Lotion still packs a protective punch. Using an advanced emulsion system, this one still features our favorite moisturizing oils like Sweet Almond and Olive Squalane, as well as soothing and repairing ingredients like German Chamomile and Niacinamide; excellent for strengthening the skin barrier. All of this in a quick-absorbing, hypo-allergenically scented lotion that rubs in s-MOO-th and absorbs quickly.

Perfect for: Delicate Baby Skin

Key Ingredients: 10% MSM, Evening Primrose Oil, Olive Squalane, Allantoin

RRP: $23.99

This cream was made with babies and families in mind. We know how frustrating it can be for those with children with fussy skin that reacts to just about anything and everything. So, we removed the nut oils and the milk protein to make sure that this could be applied to even the most reactive Mini Moo’s.

To nourish and support the skin barrier, we use Evening Primrose Oil instead of nut oils, making it a good option for families concerned about nut allergies. It is rich in essential fatty acids that healthy skin needs and irritated skin loves. Olive Squalane provides lightweight hydration, while Allantoin, Aloe Vera and Honey help to calm and support troubled skin. Then we added 10% MSM (as much as we could!) to make this as soothing as possible for delicate baby skin, making it suitable even for newborns!
