MooGoo Natural Milk Wash - 500ml

Skin can become sensitive and sore when undergoing radiotherapy treatment and it's advisable to use gentle products, suitable for sensitive skin. MooGoo Milk Wash combines small amounts of five different natural cleaners as this can be gentler on skin than one concentrated cleanser. MooGoo chose natural cleansers that wash well without drying out the skin. The foaming action isn’t quite as intense as it would if they used a synthetic detergent like SLS (or other common culprits) but they’re happy to make this small trade-off to use more natural ingredients that are healthier for us and the environment. MooGoo also uses a mix of natural skin conditioning ingredients. No essential oils that can also trigger reactions are added, 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. Suitable for all ages, body part and skin types. 500ml. Ingredients: Aqua (H₂O’s Fancy Name), Cocamidopropyl Betaine (Coconut-Derived Cleanser), Decyl Glucoside (Glucose-Derived Cleanser), Lauryl Glucoside (Glucose-Derived Cleanser), Coco Glucoside (Glucose-Derived Cleanser), Glyceryl Oleate (Glycerin Based Conditioner), Sodium Cocoyl Sarcosinate (Coconut-Derived Cleanser), Glycol Distearate (Emollient), Glyceryl Stearate (Emollient), Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride (Guar Gum), Piroctone Olamine (Olamine Salt), Glyceryl Caprylate (Emollient), Fragrance - Vanilla (Phthalate-Free).
