MooGoo Skin Milk Udder Cream

Price range: £8.90 through £12.50

MooGoo’s original, natural repair moisturiser.

Description

MooGoo Skin Milk Udder Cream is the original udder cream that started the MooGoo story.  The founder’s mother was using a country remedy for her skin. This was the cream dairy farmers applied to cow’s udders in the area to keep the skin in good condition for milking. The trouble was that this cream was very heavy and pasty, so he adapted it to soak into the skin more easily. Along the way he added some things like Milk Protein, a concentrated Aloe (100:1), Olive Squalene and Natural Vitamin E.

There are lots of things you won’t find in the MooGoo Skin Milk Udder Cream because they are things he didn’t want to put on his family’s skin. These include Parabens, Phenoxyethanol, Paraffin Oil, Petrolatum and lots more.

About MooGoo

MooGoo’s goal with their products is to make something that works. Not everything will work for every one (because we’re all so different), and there is no such thing as a miracle cure *insert eye roll here*. But they do the research and their ingredient philosophy is simple: To make effective products using healthy ingredients, that they are comfortable using on themselves and their loved ones.

  • As edible as possible – although we don’t recommend eating it.
  • Natural over synthetic – any day of the week, even if it costs a little bit more to make.
  • Non-irritating – because we don’t need more irritating things in our lives.
  • Quality, and family first –  MooGoo make products that they feel comfortable for family and friends to use.
  • Safe for every-body – MooGoo choose ingredients that are safe for everyone, including newborns and during pregnancy.
  • Effective amounts – they use ingredients in a concentration that is actually effective.
  • Ethical product testing – MooGoo don’t test on animals, and don’t export to any countries that might test on animals.

Ingredient Description
Aqua (H2O’s Fancy Name) When MooGoo were told that they had to call their purified water “Aqua” they thought the powers that be were kidding, but they couldn’t fight bureaucracy. They aren’t trying to be fancy, but they do need to call their water “Aqua” sometimes. If they used only oils and actives, the cream would feel hot on the skin as the oils coat the skin and it becomes an occlusive. By making this cream with water, the cream penetrates the skin better which is more moisturising, soothing and cooling
Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil Sweet Almond Oil is extracted from almond kernels. It’s high in minerals and vitamins, and the types of fatty acids needed for troubled skin.
Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil Olive oil is derived from the ripe olive fruit. It’s packed with antioxidants and has a balanced fatty acid composition which restores moisture and nourishment to compromised skin. Olive oil is a great addition to natural and edible skincare.
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (Aloe Vera) Aloe Vera is a flowering succulent plant that stores water in enlarged fleshy leaves, stems, or roots. The leaf juice contains many minerals vital to the growth process and healthy function of all the body’s systems, and particularly known for its healing and soothing benefits (including skin and oral health!).
Cetearyl Alcohol (Plant Based Emulsifying Wax) Cetearyl alcohol is a Plant-Based Emulsifying Wax emulsified, stabilised and produced from the reduction of plant oils and natural waxes. It’s used for combining oil and water.
Streaic Acid (Thickener) Streaic Acid is a fatty wax that holds all of the oils and water together. Without it, their cream would fall apart. It is also very softening on the skin.
Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil Rice Bran Oil is extracted from the outer layer of rice. Rich in anti-oxidants, it is also a skin protectant, rich in gamma-oryzanol helping to replenish your skin. Rice Bran Oil can be an effective substitute for lanolin and can help soothe discomfort. It’s a wonderful oil for itchy “alligator” skin.
Tocopherol (Natural Vitamin E) Natural Vitamin E can be sourced from a variety of plants and seeds, as they are common natural compounds. It has up to twice the bioavailability of synthetic forms. Vitamin E has antioxidant action as well as free radical scavenger properties, and in-depth studies from diversified medical fields have shown that this can slow the aging process. MooGoo use the more expensive, natural Vitamin E in their creams, not synthetic.
Piroctone Olamine (Olamine Salt) Piroctone Olamine is an organic compound. It is a non-irritating anti-yeast ingredient which helps keep the cream free from bacteria and mould
Polysorbate 60 (Food Grade Emulsifier) A lot of MooGoo customers are small. So small in fact that they have sometimes mistaken the creams their mums or dad’s put on the nappy change table for food. So they always choose the most edible ingredients they can. Polysorbates are used in a lot of foods like Mayonnaise, Ice-cream etc to hold the cream and water together. MooGoo use them to help with the same thing.
Allantoin  Allantoin is a skin conditioner originally discovered as a compound within Comfrey Root. Allantoin is thought to help maintain healthy skin by encouraging the removal of dead skin cells and stimulate the growth of healthy skin tissue.
Guar  Guar gum is obtained by dehusking and milling guar seeds. Guar gum acts as a natural preservative, thickener and emulsifier. It also helps make the skin nice and smooth after using the creams.
Hydrolysed Milk Protein (For Skin Elasticity) Hydrolysed Milk Protein is one of the most nutrient rich proteins due to its complete amino acid content. Studies have found that milk protein in a cream increased skin elasticity by around 20% compared to the same cream without. Skin elasticity ensures lines and wrinkles are minimised after any movement of the skin. For people with Lactose intolerance this is no problem, however for people that are allergic to Milk Protein itself, this ingredient would not be suitable.
Oatmeal Fragrance (Phthalate-Freel) MooGoo used to use various Essential Oils in their products. EO’s are great if they could talk to each customer and check for allergies. Due to the occasional reaction to EO’s, they removed them. We want to soothe people’s skin and scalps, so even a very small number of reactions to EO’s were a problem. But people still want their products to smell nice. So they worked with another company to develop phthalate free fragrant oil (phthalates are the things in fragrances that a lot of people don’t like) and since then the response has been great.
Humulus Lupulus (Hops) Extract Skin Care needs to stay pure from yeast and mould. That is why ingredients like Parabens etc are used by a lot of companies. These work great at achieving their aim, but a lot of “customers” prefer products without parabens.  MooGoo worked for over a year to develop a preservation system based on Hops Extract. All their creams have now been checked for preservative efficacy using the British Pharmacopeia test. They are very proud that they are probably one of the first companies to develop this natural and edible anti-bacterial system into their creams.
