Description
  • A natural, gentle shampoo that looks after your hair and your scalp
  • Made with a combination of coconut and glucose-based cleansers
  • SLS-free & Sulphate-free (aka harsh synthetic detergents that can dry out the hair)
  • Milk Protein helps protect hair fibers and revitalises its natural protective layer
  • Free from silicone-based ingredients that can build up and weigh hair down
  • Piroctone Olamine helps maintain and control the microflora of the scalp
  • Perfect for those suffering from scalp conditions like Dandruff, Eczema, Psoriasis & Dermatitis

Our Milk Shampoo is one of our most popular products. It was originally made for a family member who had a scalp so itchy they went to bed with olive oil on their scalp and cling wrap around their head. It took us 6 months of trialing until we were able to banish the cling wrap to the kitchen for good.

A natural, gentle shampoo that looks after your hair and your scalp. Made with a combination of coconut and glucose-based cleansers, it is free from harsh synthetic detergents (SLS) that can dry out the hair. Milk Protein helps protect hair fibers and revitalises its natural protective layer, while Piroctone Olamine aids in maintaining and controlling the microflora of the scalp, making it especially effective for those suffering from Dandruff and other conditions like Eczema, Psoriasis and Dermatitis. Free from silicone-based ingredients that can build up and weigh hair down, our Milk Shampoo is one of our most popular products.

We combine small amounts of 5 different natural cleaners as this can be gentler on the hair than one concentrated cleanser. We chose natural cleansers that wash and foam up fairly well, although 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. This just means a little more agitation required to build up the lather, which if you look at it another way, a great excuse for a head massage.

One thing we hear a lot about our shampoo is how lovely the smell is. We couldn’t agree more. For this, we sourced a phthalate-free fragrant oil so you can have beautiful smelling hair without the sensitivity.

Let us know if you have any questions about our shampoo and we’ll do our best to wash your concerns away. Want to know more? Check out our blog post: What You Didn’t Know About Shampoo for an interesting read.

FAQS

Why do we only make one shampoo?

We often get asked why we don’t make different shampoos specific to different hair types such as dry, oily, curly, thin, damaged etc. While we believe that people have different hair types and different hair needs, if you look closely at ingredient labels, you’ll notice that there often isn't much difference between products specifically made for each variation. In our opinion, we don’t think all the different types of shampoo are needed if you have a good formula (we think ours is pretty darn good).

A shampoo made for oily hair would have a higher concentration of cleansers than one made for dry hair because more oil needs to be removed, but you can achieve much the same result by varying the amount of shampoo you use or washing your hair twice, if needed.

Why is Milk Shampoo great for those suffering from Scalp Conditions?

The Milk Shampoo is formulated with gentle, natural ingredients that care for both your hair and scalp. Its key ingredients, Piroctone Olamine and Allantoin, helps maintain and control the microflora of the scalp, which is essential for managing conditions like Dandruff, Eczema, Psoriasis, and Dermatitis. Additionally, the combination of coconut and glucose-based cleansers ensures a mild cleansing action that won’t irritate sensitive skin.

Does your shampoo strip colour?

When formulating our shampoo, we learned a lot in the process. “Colour-lock Shampoo” is basically shampoo that is SLS-free and is not alkaline. Alkaline hair products open up the hair cuticle and leach colour out as well as make the hair feel squeaky (aka “clean”).

Our Milk Shampoo is already SLS-free, Sulphate-free and a pH that is slightly acidic for the reasons mentioned above, so it’s “colour lock shampoo” by nature, although we don’t think it’s an accurate description. “Damaged hair” shampoos are also usually just lower in sulphates so we’ve got that covered already.

Will you ever bring out a shampoo bar?

As much as we love less plastic packaging, unfortunately, we aren’t able to make these and keep in line with our ingredient philosophy. Also, natural shampoo bars naturally are alkaline and alkaline hair products open up the hair cuticle and make the hair feel squeaky (aka “clean”) which we think isn’t great for the hair long-term.

I have dry / oily hair. Do you have a shampoo for that?

A shampoo intended for oily hair has a higher concentration of cleansers than a dry hair shampoo because more cleaning is required. But you can achieve much the same result by just varying the amount of shampoo you use.

Is this product made of milk?

We aren’t called MooGoo because our products are made with milk. If you think about it, putting any meaningful amount of fresh milk into a hair care product and then putting it on a shelf in a store for a while would not end well – yuck! We do use ethically and sustainably sourced Milk Protein from a credible Australian supplier in our hair care products because research has found that it helps to protect hair fibres and revitalise hair's natural protective layer.

If you want to know more about the Milk Protein we use, check out the General section on our FAQ page for more detailed information.

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. To check out the full report and summary of the test we did on this product, click here.

'Fragrance' is listed as one of the ingredients in this product. What does this mean?

When we first started making products, we used a blend of essentials oils to give them a lovely fragrance. But many people have severe reactions and allergies to them, even in small amounts. As a result, and because we make products for people with sensitive skin, we took them out of most products.

Instead, we helped to develop a special kind of fragrant oil, whereby each component in it is less than the EU allergy threshold. This is how we can have a pleasant-smelling product without the reactions. The scents we use are proprietary blends from the company we get them from, and we’ve had no reactions since we made the switch. Also, of course, it is free from phthalates, which is the main concern in fragrances.
