MooGoo appeciation society!

BG I saw that they were thinking of changing the formula - hope it doesn't change too much I have had scalp issues for over 10 years and it is the first thing I have found to work other than one brand that is now discontinued.

it's a very minor change - i have super sensitive skin and have had no dramas with it at all

I've been meanign to update soem details on this thread too. I liked the shampoo as my skin didn't react to it but it never lathered up like regular shampoo does and I was always wondering if it was really cleanign my hair. I know natural shampoos have a tendency to do that though is didn't worry about it. But I put a semi permanant rinse in my hair a couple of weeks ago and since then the shampoo latheres up heaps! So maybe that is why people get differetn results. I was also finding that my hair felt oily the next day but now I can for a few days with my hair still looking alright

The anti aging cream is awesome! Doesn't feel oily at all and no dry skin. MSM cream I use on problem areas

[~clover~]

I stopped using the shampoo Still use the conditioner though.
My hair was just too oily.

Okay posting on my Moogoo experience so far. I've tried:

- The goats milk soap. Was such a nice chance to normal soap. Didn't irritate my skin and didn't leave it feeling dry. Won't buy it all the time as I found I loved the milkwash so much.

- The Milkwash. OMG! I am in love with it! Where to start? It smells divine!!! I just want to eat it. At first I was a little put off by the fact that it didn't lather like other washes I have used, but that's because the other washes have so much crap in them. I've worked out my own little technique now with mah loofa that gets a decent lather now. DF really likes it too, he also loves the smell. I have found that it is SO gentle on my skin (which is super sensitive) and doesn't leave it dry afterwards. I use it all over, as a body wash and face wash.

- The MSM cream. Love it! I initially used it as an all over cream as my skin gets irritated so easily. It's the FIRST body cream I've EVER been able to use that doesn't leave my skin itchy for a period of time afterwards.

- Full cream Udder Cream. Also love it. Due to the fact that I moisturise 2-3 times a day, I started buying this as it's slightly cheaper, and use the MSM for problem areas. It smells awesome and makes my skin so soft.

I am looking forward to trying the shampoo and conditioner and the cleanser. Maybe the lip balm too. Our health food store is closing down and having a big sale soon so we'll stock up on some more Moogoo then. But yeah, loving my Moogoo.

PZ, I use the lip balm all the time. Under lipstick, when I am getting a cold, and I even don't mind 3 yr old DD using it

Cool! How does it feel on your lips? I can't stand ones that go all claggy, kwim? Does it smell yummy?

I have the shampoo and conditioner. My hair is not particularly oily or dry but I do get a very irritated and itchy scalp. It smells good, but I haven't noticed any improvement in my scalp and my hair doesn't feel terribly clean after using the MooGoo. Am I doing something wrong??

It does make DD2's head smell delicious!

[FluffNStuff]

I have used the anti aging cream and full cream moisturiser on my face and hands, MSN cream on bubs bum, the deodorant, milk wash and shampoo and conditioner.

I had to stop using the normal skin oil cleanser as it contains an essential oil that should be avoided when pregnant as it can bring on your period (Cedarwood from memory)

I love their stuff and could never go back to anything else

i think the "problem" is that, as a society, we're used to using chemical shampoos that have an artificial conditioning factor to them - so what we feel is clean is actually the chemical layer. at first i thought it wasn't cleaning my hair properly for this reason - but the way it felt afterwards, the fact i only need a very small amount of anti frizz crap instead of masses of it, showed me that it was clean. i also find that my hair doesn't feel heavily conditioned but it's healthier in general. the newer formula they have recently been testing is thicker than previous versions, seems to lather a bit more and leaves hair feeling a bit more conditioned

That's great info FluffNStuff and to BB!

I was just checking out moogoo again yesterday but DS started crying so I had to leave (buggar) my regular skin care hs run out so time to try the antiaging cream I think. I actually bought the MSM and eczema creams when DS was born but still haven't finished them as I am still using up the Renew cream which I LOVE from Melaluca (sp?) I have dropped my membership with them as it's too expensive so I need to replace everything with other stuff before I run out! Maybe I will start using the moogoo creams 100% of the time. An update on the shampoo, I don't think I'll buy it again, while it's nice enough it's not leaving my hair nice all the time and I have used my old Melaluca shampoo the last 2 times I've washed and it's just so much nicer, (non irritating like moogoo) and it leaves a better results for my hair. But again I need to find another natural shampoo that I'm happy with , think I'll search for an argan oil one... Sorry this hasn't been much of a moogoo appreciation post! lol

I can deal with the lack of lather and love that it doesn't contain chemicals, but straight after washing and air drying it's kinda lank and greasy (even though I rinse thoroughly) and it definitely needs washing again the next day althoug I can usually get three or four days before I need to wash again.

My DD1 has waist length hair, much finer than mine, and MooGoo works much better for her than for me. Maybe because she has fewer natural oils (she's 8)? Dunno, just guessing??!!

not sure hun - i wash my hair daily anyway - need to to control the frizz - although i can go two or three days using moo goo and struggle through one day with other shampoos/conditioners

Yep, that was the same problem I had with it too. I also have trouble running my fingers through my hair after shampooing, like when I'm trying to put conditioner in. It's hard to run a comb through/untangle when it's wet, even after conditioning.

I recently bought my girls the milk wash and udder cream and anti aging cream for myself, love the anti aging cream, waiting for the face cream with sunscreen in it for summer.

[Olive]

Has anyone got further updates or opinions on the shampoo and conditioner??
I get oily hair and wash almost daily, im worried it will make it too oily and it's too exxy to experiment with.

Also how often do u use the oil cleanser? I love it and could use daily lol

[leckert]

Olive, I'm about to go back to the moogoo shampoo & conditioner when I finish my current oily shampoo & conditioner (which I think has majorly irritated my scalp). I'll let you know how I go in a week or so - I can't remember how it went last time I used it. I find I need to swap shampoos & conditioners from time to time to get them to work nicely again.
I originally bought the moo goo as ds1 has eczema and I was trying it on his head (we ended up going water only in the bath and on his hair for ages, even now we alternate hair washing with water and the moo goo products with water only in the bath)

[~TT40~]

I havent tried the shampoo or conditioner, sorry Olive. But I didn't realise this thread existed! I only started using it last week, the MSM cream on DD's bum, and DH uses it on his hand cause it is all scaly and itchy and eczema like, and its cleared it up in like 2 days!
