MooGoo Milk Wash 1L
Our Milk Wash is one of our most popular products. We combine small amounts of 5 different natural cleaners as this can be gentler on skin than one concentrated cleanser. We chose natural cleansers that wash well without drying out the skin. The foaming action isn’t quite as intense as it would if we used a synthetic detergent like SLS (or other common culprits that end in –fate), but we’re happy to make this small trade-off to use more natural ingredients that are healthier for us and the environment. Ever think about what happens to your wash products after they go down the drain? Synthetic ingredients don’t break down into their natural components easily in the water system as natural ones do.
We also use a mix of natural skin conditioning ingredients. We don't use any essential oils that can also trigger reactions, but instead, a blend of Vanilla with the allergy-triggering compounds removed. Because it’s so gentle it’s also a no-tears formulation in children's eyes. If you are a car mechanic, you may need something a bit stronger, but if you wish to stay clean without stripping the skin of oils, we think this formula is the bee’s knees. Suitable for all ages, body part and skin types.

FAQ’s
Why don’t we make a face wash? Should we rephrase? As we do have oil cleanser as a face wash.
We get this one a lot. It may seem odd since many companies offer different products to clean your face than to clean your body. But in our opinion, we don’t think it’s needed if you make a good cleanser, and skin just needs to be washed. Face cleansers formulas should be gentle, not remove too much oil and not contain synthetic ingredients that can irritate the eyes. That’s exactly what our Milk Wash is. A regular body cleanser tends to be a bit stronger detergents and remove more oil from the skin. But why should the face get all the love?
We like to keep things simple even if marketing can sometimes tell us otherwise and get us to believe we need a different product for every part of the body. This was is made for your skin so use it whenever you like on your face and body, and hands and feet too, we don’t discriminate.
Are you cleansers safe for lash extensions?
The Milk Wash is great for lash extensions. It has the same irritation score as water and uses a combination of gentle natural cleansers. Oils can break down the glue used, so steer clear of any oil-based cleansers like our Oil Cleansing Method on the eye area whilst you’ve got lashes on.
Is this product made of milk?
We aren’t called MooGoo because our products are based on milk. Fresh milk in a body wash would go off and be smelly. Yuck! We do use Milk Protein in some of our creams and hair care products, and it’s sourced ethically and sustainably from happy and healthy cows raised on a beautiful farm in New Zealand. But this product, in particular, is free from all dairy-based ingredients.
