What’s the best routine for managing Eczema or Psoriasis on the scalp?

All Hair & Scalp Care products are free from harsh synthetic detergents (SLS) that can dry out your hair. They are specifically formulated to balance and maintain a healthy scalp microflora, so our products are for those dealing with Dandruff, Eczema, Psoriasis, or Dermatitis.

Here’s a routine you can follow to manage these conditions on the scalp:

1. Start with our Milk Shampoo: Apply a small amount to wet hair, lather gently, and massage it into your scalp. Rinse thoroughly with warm water to cleanse without stripping natural oils. Many people find it beneficial to repeat this step as a 'double shampoo'.
2. Follow with our Cream Conditioner: After shampooing, apply it to the ends of your hair and let it sit for a few minutes to work its magic. Rinse well with warm water to detangle and hydrate your hair.
3. For Extra Care: If your scalp is particularly dry or flaky, apply our Scalp Cream to damp hair/scalp. Gently massage the cream into your scalp and leave it on overnight. In the morning, brush your hair to remove any flakes and rinse with our natural shampoo.

 

Do any of your creams work for TSW (Topical Steroid Withdrawal)?

Absolutely! Our creams are designed to support those recovering from Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW) by soothing irritated skin and repairing the skin barrier. It’s essential to discontinue the use of topical steroids under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Hydration is key during this process, and our range of moisturisers, crafted with natural ingredients and free from harsh chemicals, is perfect for sensitive skin.

To help keep skin calm, we recommend replacing harsh cleansers with our Ultra Gentle Cleanser with Ceramides. For moisturisation, choose products without irritants like petroleum or parabens. Our Double Cream with Ceramides is particularly beneficial, as it locks in moisture using innovative technology that feels lighter and less greasy than traditional barrier creams. Whether you’re experiencing mild or severe symptoms, our creams, lotions, and washes can be valuable allies on your journey to recovery!

 

What ingredients in your creams help with skin inflammation?

Here are just a few key ingredients that make our creams effective:

• Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Juice
  Aloe Vera Leaf Juice is a natural extract from the Aloe Barbadensis plant, rich in vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. This highly hydrating and soothing ingredient is renowned for its anti-inflammatory properties, which calm irritated skin and lock in moisture.
  

• Althaea Officinalis (Marshmallow) Root Extract
  Derived from the Althaea Officinalis plant, Marshmallow Root Extract is celebrated for its soothing and moisturising properties. Packed with mucilage, this gel-like substance hydrates and softens the skin by creating a protective barrier that locks in moisture. Its anti-inflammatory properties help reduce redness and irritation. 

• Camellia Sinensis (EGCG Green Tea) Leaf Extract
  Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract is derived from green tea leaves and is known for its high levels of Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG). This powerful antioxidant offers numerous benefits, including anti-inflammatory and anti-aging effects. EGCG helps protect the skin from oxidative damage and reduces inflammation, contributing to a more youthful and radiant complexion.

 

Can the Therapy range help with Seborrheic Dermatitis?

For relief from Seborrheic Dermatitis, our Scalp Cream is a fantastic option. This lightweight, soothing cream is packed with natural oils like Coconut and Olive Oil, which help nourish and hydrate the skin, while Aloe Vera and Allantoin work to calm irritation.

To use, simply apply the cream to damp hair/scalp, focusing on the dry or irritated areas. We suggest leaving it on overnight to give it time to work its magic. In the morning, gently dry brush your hair to remove any flakes, a great sign that fresh, healthy skin is emerging. You can then rinse out with our natural shampoo to remove any excess if you like.

The Scalp Cream helps control and balance the microflora, supporting your skin's return to a healthy state. Plus, it’s gentle enough to use on both the scalp and body, so you can trust it to soothe and nourish without irritation!

Can the Double Cream be used with other medical treatments?

Yes, the Double Cream with Ceramides can be used alongside other medical treatments. This ultra-hydrating cream is specifically designed to support and restore the skin's barrier function, making it an excellent choice for anyone with particularly dry or sensitive skin, including those undergoing radiation or chemotherapy. Always consult with your healthcare provider to ensure the best approach for your situation.

 

Do I need to patch-test before using your products?

We always recommend patch-testing new products, just to be on the safe side. Here’s how you can perform it:

• Apply a small amount of the product to a discreet area of skin (we recommend the inside of your elbow or behind your ear).
• Leave it on for 24 hours without washing it off.
• After 24 hours, check the area to see if there’s any redness, irritation, or reaction.

If everything looks good, you’re all set to use it! Our products are made with natural ingredients and are safe for all ages, even newborns, but this little test just helps ensure the formula works perfectly with your skin.

ALL! We've carefully selected each ingredient with your well-being in mind, steering clear of any nasties like parabens and phenoxyethanol. We're all about transparency, which is why we proudly display all our ingredients on our website!

 

What’s the best way to manage itchiness from Eczema or Dermatitis?

The most effective way to manage itchiness from eczema and dermatitis is to resist the urge to scratch! We know how challenging that can be. To help soothe those pesky itches, we recommend applying our Sensitive Skin Balm or Double Cream with Ceramides whenever you feel the urge. Keeping your skin hydrated and calm can make all the difference!

 

What is the best product for managing Dermatitis on the face?

We recommend using our Sensitive Skin Balm on affected areas and in conjunction with our Soothing MSM Moisturiser to soothe and moisturise the skin. Apply the Sensitive Skin Balm first and allow it to soak in for 2 minutes. Then apply the Soothing MSM Moisturiser over top and anywhere else you like for some added moisture and TLC. We also recommend using a gentle cleanser like our Ultra Gentle Cleanser to help keep skin happy and hydrated by not stripping the natural oils which can cause dryness and irritation.

 

Can your products help with contact Dermatitis caused by skincare or makeup?

Absolutely! If you’re seeking a gentle and soothing solution for Eczema, Dermatitis, or Psoriasis, our Sensitive Skin Balm is an excellent choice. This lightweight balm absorbs quickly into the skin and is enriched with natural oils like Sweet Almond and Olive Oil, along with calming ingredients such as Aloe Vera and Centella Asiatica. It’s designed to provide the relief you need while nurturing your skin!

 

How often should I moisturise my skin during TSW to prevent further irritation?

During Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW), it's important to moisturise your skin frequently to prevent further irritation. Aim to moisturise at least 2-3 times a day, or more often if your skin feels dry or irritated. Applying moisturiser right after bathing can help lock in moisture. Pay attention to your skin's needs and adjust the frequency based on how it feels. Consistent hydration is key to supporting your recovery!

 

Are your creams safe to use on skin experiencing intense flaking or peeling from TSW?

Yes, our creams are safe to use on skin experiencing intense flaking or peeling from Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW). We recommend using a moisturiser with gentle, hydrating ingredients that are free from irritants like petroleum-based components, parabens, and phenoxyethanol.

For added support, our Double Cream with Ceramides is an excellent choice. It features innovative barrier technology that helps lock in moisture while protecting against irritants. This cream uses emollient lipids and potent antioxidants, ensuring it feels lighter and less greasy than traditional barrier creams, making it comfortable to apply. This can help soothe and repair your skin effectively during this recovery process.

 

Does the MooGoo Sensitive & Fragrance-Free Deodorant contain any aluminium or other harsh chemicals?

All of our natural Deodorants (including Sensitive & Fragrance-Free) are 100% aluminium and harsh chemical-free!

 

Do your deodorants actually provide odour protection?

Absolutely! Many people don’t realise that the smell from your armpits isn’t caused by sweat itself, but by the bacteria that break it down on your skin. Our natural Deodorants harness the power of Magnesium to neutralise this bacteria, effectively tackling odour at the source. You can stay fresh and confident all day long!
