We use innovative barrier technology to create a cream with potent antioxidants that helps soothe, calm and protect the skin. Our Eczema Cream also contains NMF to help rehydrate and restore normal, healthy skin structure and function, as well as emollient lipids to help to soften the skin.

For patients going through radiation treatment or chemotherapy, this cream provides moisture and creates a protective barrier. It alleviates skin discomfort such as dryness, irritation, itchiness and stinging, as well as improves the visual appearance of inflamed skin including patches of whiteness, redness, rough texture and flakiness. The product has been designed to help normalise the structure and function of the skin by providing an emollient, lipid barrier to reduce moisture loss. This is achieved by including relevant Natural Moisturising Factors (NMF) like those found in normal, healthy skin and have been shown to be beneficial for mild to severe dryness, returning the skin to optimal functionality. The antioxidants in this formula assist in calming and soothing inflamed skin.

Here's how it works! A healthy skin barrier protects against moisture evaporation, irritants and allergens. Our Double Cream has been designed to help repair and maintain a healthy skin barrier using natural oils and Ceramides, as demonstrated in the diagrams below: Trans-Epidermal Water Loss

Here’s why a healthy skin barrier important:

Because we make our products for our families, we have a strict ingredient philosophy that excludes ingredients like Parabens, Phenoxyethanol and penetration enhancers.

We show all of the ingredients we use in our products on our website, not just the pretty ones. That way you know exactly what's in each one, and can get in touch if you have any more questions.

Please be aware that the ingredients we use in our formulas may be updated occasionally and therefore vary from time to time. Please refer to the ingredient list on the product packaging for the most up-to-date and relevant list of ingredients.

What other MooGoo products do you recommend for irritable skin?

We recommend our Soothing MSM Moisturiser, which you can use in conjunction with our Eczema Cream. Apply the Eczema Cream on the patches of eczema and the Soothing MSM Moisturiser over the rest of your face and body for some extra TLC. Continue to use it in between flare-ups as your daily moisturiser, to help keep skin soothed, and hydrated. Remember, well-moisturised skin is less likely to become irritated.

We also recommend using a gentle cleanser like our Milk Wash or our Cleansing Bars to help keep skin happy and hydrated by not stripping the natural oils, which can cause dryness and irritation.

What are Ceramides, and how are they beneficial?

Ceramides are fats (lipids) that exist in high concentrations in the skin, particularly when it’s healthy. Not only do they make up more than 50% of the skin’s composition, but they assist in retaining water and protecting the skin barrier from irritants. Think of them as protectants that hold the skin together. Those that suffer from skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, acne etc., may have a Ceramide deficiency, so for those we recommend supplementing with our topical cream.

Over time, factors like sun damage, aging and other irritants can decrease Ceramide content in the skin. The skin barrier is more susceptible to weakening when Ceramides are depleted, causing the skin to become drier, more easily irritated and show signs of ageing. By topping up Ceramide levels in the skin, they can help rebuild skin strength and improve skin barrier function. They also work wonders to help the skin maintain moisture, your best defence against ageing.

What type of Ceramides do you use?

We use Ceramides 3 and 3B as they are the types that are most similar to the skin. Ceramide 3 is a skin-identical barrier lipid that works to strengthen the skin’s barrier function. Essentially, as they are identical molecules to the ones found in our skin, they are easily absorbed and you’ll receive long-term protection and support.

What ingredients do you avoid when making a moisturiser?

There's lots of things you won't find in this cream (or any of our other products) because they were all formulated for family members and close friends. This includes Paraffin and Mineral Oil which derive from petroleum but are commonly found in commercial moisturisers like Sorbolene. We don’t think putting the stuff that goes into our cars on our skin is the healthiest thing we can do.

We also don’t use any synthetic preservatives such as Parabens and Phenoxyethanol, although they're pretty common too, including with a few brands that claim to be natural (you know who you are!). We avoid a lot of other things too, way too many to list here. We also don't use any useless, trendy ingredients like stem cells from Swiss apples or superpower jellyfish DNA, just natural, effective ingredients for healthy skin.

Is this product pH balanced? What does that mean?

Yes, it sure is! The pH level of our moisturisers is balanced to 5.5, which is similar to human skin. Essentially, pH can be measured from 0 to 14 depending on how acidic or alkaline a substance is. Since our skin sits at a pH of about 5.5, it’s slightly acidic. Healthy skin can retain moisture, maintain a robust microbiome and keep irritants away. We of course want to support this, so using creams that are pH balanced to match our skin is one of the best ways to do this.

What does "Dermatologically Tested" mean?

You may have seen the term “Dermatologically Tested” on lots of products before, but did you know there’s not an actual definition or regulation for this term? Because that didn’t sit right with us, and because our aim is to make products for people with really sensitive skin, we decided to send a bunch of them off to be tested in an independent lab on 54 people who reported having sensitive skin. The results were given on a scale of 0 to 5 with 0 being no irritation or redness and 5 being a reaction. We’re happy to report that other than one person who had a reaction to the adhesive on the patch and another who found the patches painful to remove, all subjects reported 0 for redness and irritation for all the products we sent for testing.
