MooGoo started as a happy accident. In 2005, founder Craig Jones noticed his mother was using a thick paste, originally made to keep cow’s udders soft and supple for milking, to help with her psoriasis. He went on to reformulate it into something lighter and more wearable, and that’s how MooGoo was born.

MooGoo is an Australian brand with a range of products designed to help with common skin conditions and scalp concerns, from mild eczema and psoriasis to very sensitive and dry skin types. They have products for the whole family including babies, and a dedicated skincare range of serums and creams. All MooGoo products are made in Australia and are dermatologically tested. Their natural face wash range is where I’d always suggest starting with MooGoo, and there’s one for every skin type.

MooGoo Creamy Hydrating Face Cleanser

The MooGoo Creamy Hydrating Face Cleanser is a gentle, non-foaming cleanser that uses a blend of coconut and glucose-based cleansing agents to lift away dirt, makeup and daily impurities without disturbing the skin’s natural oils. It contains hyaluronic acid to attract and retain moisture during cleansing, and milk protein, which is rich in amino acids and closely resembles the skin’s natural moisturising factors, supporting elasticity and moisture balance. To use, massage a small amount onto damp skin and rinse. A beautiful option for dry and sensitive skin.

MooGoo Gentle Foaming Face Cleanser

The MooGoo Gentle Foaming Face Cleanser pumps out as a rich, fluffy foam that clears congestion, addresses breakouts and washes away excess oils without drying the skin out. It contains niacinamide (Vitamin B3) to visibly reduce the appearance of pores and support skin prone to congestion, natural AHAs from papaya extract for gentle enzymatic exfoliation, and calendula extract to calm and soothe redness and irritation. It’s suitable for all ages and a great option for oily, combination, blemish-prone and teen skin. To use, pump onto clean damp hands and massage into the skin, focusing on congested areas, then rinse.

MooGoo Oil Cleansing Method

Oil cleansing works on the principle that oil dissolves oil, and the MooGoo Oil Cleansing Method is a beautifully balanced formula that does exactly that. It blends castor seed oil, rice bran oil, jojoba and avocado oil to work as an oil-based makeup remover and daily cleanser in one, lifting excess oil, sunscreen and impurities from the skin while leaving it soft and nourished, without clogging pores or disturbing the skin’s natural oils. It’s ideal for dry and mature skin and works perfectly as the first step in a double cleanse, followed by the Creamy Hydrating or Gentle Foaming Cleanser. Apply to dry hands and a dry face, massage into skin for 30 to 60 seconds, add a little warm water to emulsify, then rinse. A warm damp cloth helps if you want a really thorough cleanse.

MooGoo Ultra Gentle Cleanser with Ceramides

The MooGoo Ultra Gentle Cleanser with Ceramides can be used on the face and body and is suitable for the whole family, including those with very sensitive, reactive or eczema-prone skin. It has an irritation score 75% lower than SLS and 38% lower than other leading gentle cleansers, and ceramides 3 and 3B work to strengthen the skin’s barrier, lock in moisture and reduce dryness and discomfort, so skin feels settled and calm after cleansing.

MooGoo also make a range of body washes designed for sensitive skin and common skin conditions, with options for the whole family including babies and kids.
