Review : MooGoo Cow Lick Lip Balm

Product Description
Do you just need a safe lip moisturiser without chemicals? This is perfect. Honey and rich emollient oils condition and soften the lips. Allantoin helps the repair of minor cuts and Mandarin Essential Oil...well it just tastes nice.

I have a soft spot for milk based products so when I chanced upon MooGoo with its uber cute packaging - the lip balm is stored in a thin milk carton box, I just could not resist putting it into my basket while vacationing in Melbourne. I simply love shopping in independent pharmacies looking for natural, organic and green beauty brands because you never know what you will find. 

MooGoo has produce a range of products, of which, I absolutely adore MooGoo Milk Wash but its on the pricey side so its not for everyone. I have also tried the MooGoo Soothing MSM Cream which, unfortunately, did not soothe my eczema-prone patches then. 

Proudly made in Australia, MooGoo Cow Lick Lip Balm is contained in a thin cyclinder shaped-like tube that can be twisted up for usage, like most lip balms. However, the mechanism gets loose after awhile as the balm gets raised up ever so slightly each time I opened the cap to use the balm. This may interfere with the cap, leaving unslightly remanants near the cap opening.

That aside, their printed tagline on the lip balm exterior " Made from edible ingredients because what does on the lips get eaten " is what draws me in totally. Clean ingredients at its best and they meant serious business with that tagline.

Light yellow in colour, Cow Lick Lip Balm is moisturising and keeps lips soft and supple as it glides smoothly on lips. It left a very slight sheen on the lips which minimize the appearance of "drying" lips, if any. I enjoyed using it in Singapore's humid weather but I can't attest to its effectiveness in winter cold weather when overseas.

The product scored 4.6 from 12 users on Makeupalley.

Review : MooGoo Milk Wash

Product Description
MooGoo Milk Wash uses a combination of 6 different natural cleansers. A small amount of many different cleansers can be less irritating than using one. We also add other ingredients to help skin conditioning. Initially formulated as a face cleanser, we put it in a larger bottle as why should the rest of the body be forced to use something not as good.
Genuine ingredients are added to prevent drying of the skin. Milk Protein (Casein) is similar to the skin's own protein and helps maintain elasticity.  The natural ester Glycerol Oleate helps to prevent skin water loss and leaves the skin smoother.

It was a last ditch attempt to purchase MooGoo products when I was at the Melbourne Tullamarine Airport, on the way home. Large and bulky, I didn't think it was worth the effort to add weight to my limited space luggage while I was sightseeing in Australia but I just couldn't resist it when I saw MooGoo Milk Wash in one of the airport shops. The whole packaging just looks so alluring especially with the seductive "milk wash" which makes one think of Cleopatra and her beautiful skin soaked in milk baths. A 500ml size costs AUD18 which can easily costs me $29.90 in Singapore so why not?

Review : MooGoo Soothing MSM Cream

Product Description
This cream is made using the moisturizing base of our Full Cream with the addition 10% MSM (Organic Sulfur) and the removal of Milk Protein. This is the maximum amount of MSM we could add to the cream. Just mention MSM and watch the Naturopaths go nuts about its skin calming properties. The cream uses Sweet Almond Oil which is one of the best moisturising oils for irritated skin due to its essential fatty acid profile. The cream is also fully loaded with other natural skin healing ingredients. These include Allantoin (Comfrey Root Active), Vitamin E, Aloe Vera and Honey. Paraffin Oil Free. pH Balanced. 

Key Ingredients : 
Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil : High in the types of fatty acids needed for troubled skin. 
Squalene (Olive) : Leave your skin moisturised and dewy. Our body produces a small amount of squalene, but the amount diminishes when we get older, starting in our twenties. Squalene is required for our skin to keep it moisturised and fight aging. It is also a unique antioxidant from olives that protects our skin from free-radical damages. Since Olive squalene's composition is very similar to human sebum, it can penetrate our skin very quickly to help our skin to fight dryness. It enhances skin elasticity and moisture retention. 
Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil : We used coconut oil as a stabiliser, it also helps to moisturise the skin 

Made in Australia, The packaging of MooGoo first draws me in, when I was shopping at 10 10 Mother and Child Essentials in City Square Mall. The illustration is cute and the whole exterior gives a calming and soothing impression. Beside, milk has always garnered a positive feeling of being pure, white and moisturising for the body.
