Description
- A non-abrasive, gentle, facial exfoliant for all skin types
- Contains Salicylic Acid which is a plant-derived exfoliating organic acid
- Made with Rice Bran Powder to gently scrub the skin
- Bentonite Clay helps draw out pollutants and impurities
- Marshmallow Root Extract helps soothe and calm the skin
- Gentle enough to be used every day, even for very sensitive skin
Having a bit of a rough time and need some help s-MOO-thing things out with your skin? We’ve carefully designed a non-abrasive, facial exfoliant to help you buff away the day and turn over a new leaf to start fresh. We believe that dual exfoliation (meaning organic acid and non-scratchy physical particles) is the most effective way to gently exfoliate. Making soothing and gentle products is always our priority, so we made this suitable for daily use, for all skin types.
Our unique formula contains a very calculated percentage (1.5%) of Salicylic Acid (BHA) which are plant-derived organic acids. These organic acids are attracted to oil and exfoliate deep into the pores. It’s the best thing for a deep cleanse and to address impurities that already exist.
We’ve also used Rice Bran powder to physically exfoliate as it has a very delicate physical structure and contains antioxidant-rich, moisturising proteins. The combination of these two magnificent exfoliating components will leave your skin noticeably fresh, glowing and soft. But wait, there’s more! We’ve also added Bentonite Clay to draw out impurities and leave your skin feeling fresh, and Marshmallow Root to soothe and calm skin.

FAQs
How do you use the Gentle Exfoliating Powder?
Wash your face thoroughly with your favourite natural cleanser. Dispense a few shakes into wet hands and rub them together to create a paste, then massage over face in circular motions. Add a few more drops of water if the paste is dry and crumbly. Leave on the skin for 5 minutes to create a nourishing mask. Follow with your favourite serum and moisturiser (such as our Night Restoration Cream 75g) for a complete night time skincare routine.
What other products do you recommend for acne or blemish-prone skin?
We have a few other products that specifically address acne and blemishes. Our Blemish Cleansing Moisturiser was designed to help prevent the external causes of acne and breakouts using healthy ingredients (not bleaches like Benzoyl Peroxide). By using it twice a day, it helps prevent oil from oxidising in the pores, as well as cleansing the skin of the type of bacteria that causes breakouts.
Our Tamanu Oil is a lush oil that helps reduce redness and irritation that is common when dealing with acne or blemishes. It’s best applied after washing, but before moisturising. While it might seem counterintuitive to use oil on blemishes, adding oils to the skin actually helps the skin to stop overproducing its own oil, which is one of the main causes for blemishes.
We also recommend our Oil Cleansing Method. Cleansing with oil also sounds counterintuitive but oil dissolves oil, especially hardened oil trapped deep in the pores. This gentle cleanser doesn’t strip the skin of its natural oils, which also helps the skin to stop overproducing its own oil.

- CMCaitlyn M.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars11/13/24So far so good!
Using for a few weeks now I think, so far it’s going good and I am enjoying.
- FTFiona T.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars11/10/24Another great product
This is the gentlest exfoliating cream I have ever used! Smells delicious too.
Realise how much I must of been scrubbing my face off with previous scrubs I’ve used 😬
- ESEffie S.Verified BuyerRated 3 out of 5 stars11/4/24Little disappointed - not exfoliating enough
I didn't feel it was exfoliating enough compared to other gentle exfoliators I have used. To me it felt more like a cleanser than an exfoliator. I did try different amount of micro powder to water ratio to see if I could achieve the result I was looking for but sadly no. However I did like the fact it had no fragrance which is a huge plus and does feel lovely on the skin. Although I would not buy it again, it might be more suitable for someone else. Try for yourself and see.
MIMooGoo Ireland11/4/24Hay Effie,
Thanks so much for sharing your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that our Gentle Exfoliating Micro Powder didn't meet your exfoliating expectations. This powder contains salicylic acid, which helps gently remove dead skin cells without causing irritation, but it may feel milder than some other exfoliators due to its gentle, non-abrasive nature. It's designed with sensitive skin in mind to provide a light, effective cleanse without the rough feel of some scrubs.
We’re glad you appreciated its fragrance-free formula, though! Your honest review is very helpful, and we understand that each skin type has unique needs. Thanks again for giving it a try!
- KDKim D.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars11/3/24Love This
Have been on the lookout for an Estée Lauder powder cleanser that I used back in the 70’s probably that even though it had a cult following they got bored with it and disbanded it.
This is the closest I have come to a replacement. I make a paste in the shower and use with the little scrubber thing from Moogoo. Gentle but effective for keeping the dullness and dead skin cells away
- KBKath B.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars10/29/24Even my husband loves this one!
It's gentle but effective and smells amazing! I also love that it doesn't contain nano particles that are not great for our waterlife. Complete win! I use every second night and my skin is smooth.
