    I really doubt that there would be something out there that is 100% ethical, because if it wasn't the ingredients, then it would be the packaging kwim? There is always a trade off. You just have to work out what is most important to you and go with that. You love moogoo, they explained quite openly (even if I don't agree with how they said it LOL) and at this point in time there is no alternative product for you to use.

    Yup so true Trill.....same with plastics they are really quite harmful but there really is now way around them you are touched by them in some part of your day!

    Fluer sorry hun I had my pots sitting for ages trying to get the kids to bed and missed yours......Natural instinct i believe were not actually organic? Or they had chemicals in it? I think?

    And who asked about the palm oil?...I will hunt up some info for you or just google palm oil

    Yep Natural Instinct were very honest about their labeling.

    I started using bi-carb soda and white vinegar on my hair in an effort to avoid shampoos.... I'll let you know how I go

    i went 10 months with out washing my hair and using bicarb and cidar vinegar about once a month

    i ran out of the shampo i have been using for about 4 months so it hasnt been washed now for a couple of months again.. well since i shaved my head


    i agree with trill i dont think you will ever find a truely ethical product. unless you make it your self out of product you know where they come from.

    .... And if it's not the dangerous ingredients, packaging, child labour, unfair trade it could also be the consumer miles. I buy MooGoo partly because it's made here in Australia and ridiculous amounts of fossil fuels don't need to be used to get it to me. I feel guilty enough that I have a passion for Belgium chocolate so I try to make up for that by buying locally made products if they tick a lot of other ethical boxes. I think it's all about balancing the scales. MooGoo tips the scales in favour of good ethics more than most other personal body care brands.

    Yup thats what I think too...I suppose the email kinda threw a spanner in the works cause I was really hoping they would say sure we use ethical palm oil...we grow it in our backyard But I am so happy they were honest and quick to repsond... the email arrived the next day...plus aussie made and owned I think I am at peace!

    Good on you Boomba- It really comes down to what you are comfortable with.

    Fleur- NI were incorrectly labeling their product at SLS free. Natural Products of Australia Pty Ltd
