MooGoo Skin Milk Udder Cream (120g)
Having dry skin prior to radiotherapy treatment can amplify any potential skin reaction because the skin is not able to heal as quickly.

MooGoo Natural Skin Milk Udder Cream is a lightweight moisturiser that easily sinks into skin.

Peppermint Xylitol Mints (15g)
