Please email info@moogoo.com.au - answers here can be restrictive in length but we can give better info through email. The fact that MooGoo even exists is a happy accident. In 2005, the Head of the Herd (Craig Jones) noticed that his mother was using a white paste, intended for use on cows, to help with her Psoriasis. The cream was formulated to help keep the skin on cow’s udders in good condition for milking. Cow’s udders need to be kept soft and supple, not dry and cracked. No one likes an angry cow with sore or cracked udders when it comes time to attach those milking cups. Although it seemed to be working well, the cream was thick and hard to apply. Since his mum didn’t particularly like being lathered in a thick cream made for cows, he took on the task of reformulating it and made up a lighter, non-greasy version. The word “udder” was a bit crass for an old-fashioned “lady” so they referred to it as “MooGoo” (goo for the cows) and the name stuck. Starting a skin care company wasn’t the initial idea, but friends and family kept asking for more of it, and eventually, Craig went into business. Since then MooGoo has grown to over 40 products to help with lots of different skin and scalp problems and sold throughout the world. From dealing with irritable skin and itchy scalps to natural sun care products and a baby range for the little ones. And most recently, a natural dental range. MooGoo’s ingredient philosophy has always remained the same: To make effective products using healthy ingredients, that we are comfortable using on ourselves and our loved ones. Craig continues to be very involved in the business, focusing mostly on formulation and product development.

Most UV damage doesn’t show up immediately...
it can take years to appear! Even if your skin looks fine (or tans easily), the damage is building beneath the surface!
Sunscreen isn’t just for the beach, it’s for everyday use 🌞 Trust us when we say, your skin will thank you for years to come! 💙

The photo below is a flashback to the sad day we had to discard almost a tonne of sunscreen we made last year, along with all the unused Zinc it was made from. We noticed the Zinc in this batch looked different, so out of an abundance of caution, we did some testing on the batch. The results came back at SPF 27 instead of our usual SPF 40, so we immediately disposed of it and began sourcing a new, reliable Zinc supplier. Unfortunately, this meant we were out of stock for most of last summer but we weren’t willing to compromise on quality.
It cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to scrap it all, but we know reputation is forever and quality is vital. And when it comes to sun protection, an under-strength sunscreen is not something to take lightly in our opinion. So when we read the recent news about sunscreens, it’s been hard to make sense of what’s happening.
The good news is our sunscreen is now back and better than ever according to the latest independent SPF tests. (We’ve even got more exciting updates coming soon once the final round of testing is complete!)
We publish our SPF results from independent laboratories (not PCR or in-vitro tests) on our sunscreen page, so everyone can see that our SPF claim stacks up.
By the way, we would have loved to donate that SPF 27 batch, but we were concerned it could be re-sold, and since sunscreen is a therapeutic product, it’s not as simple as repurposing it or risking under-protection. We do, however, donate a lot of other products (especially our Milk Wash) to causes we care about.
Our SPF 40 Clear Zinc Sunscreen is a little thicker, but that’s exactly what helps it achieve its claimed SPF. It's also a great barrier against the dry wind.

We’re back with more sunscreen updates! With the recent news, we’ve had quite a few people understandably asking where our Zinc comes from. Sunscreen can’t use just any Zinc... it needs to be specifically designed, properly manufactured, and thoroughly tested for use in sun protection.
We can confirm that we don’t use either type of Zinc that’s been in the news recently. In fact, we’ve just received results from additional independent SPF testing on our SPF 40 sunscreen. Alongside the original human testing, this new test again confirmed that our SPF is actually higher than what’s stated on the label.
We’ve always believed it's better to understate rather than overstate when it comes to protection. Our sunscreen may feel a little thicker than some Clear Zinc formulas, but that’s because ensuring it works properly is what matters most to us!

Twelve years ago a son was visiting home and noticed that his mum was using a white paste, intended for use on cows, to help with her Psoriasis. The cream was formulated to help keep the skin on cow’s udders in good condition for milking, and although it worked, it was thick and hard to apply. As you can imagine, cow’s udders need to be kept soft and supple, not dry and cracked. No one likes an angry cow.
Since mum didn’t particularly like being lathered in a thick cream made for cows, Craig took on the task of reformulating it to be lighter and non-greasy to help mum out. The name “Udder Cream” was a bit crass for a lady, so they referred to it lovingly as Moo-Goo, (goo for the cows) and the name stuck. Starting a skin care company wasn’t the initial idea, but eventually friends and family found out about it, tried it and kept asking for more. But it didn’t stop there.
Since then MooGoo has grown to over 40 products to help with lots of different problems, from dealing with irritable skin and itchy scalps, to natural sun care products and a Baby Range for the little ones.
