HEALT H & BEAUT Y Do You MooGoo? Australian natural skin care company MooGoo was recently recognised as the preferred natural brand for non-prescription medicines of those suffering from skin problems following a recent survey conducted by Nielsen.* The survey comes after a noticeable shift within Australia towards natural products. Australians have developed a strong preference for natural skin care, and this does not change when they become patients. Pindara Private Hospital has been quick to respond to the needs of their patients in this area. Although MooGoo has been used for years by patients undergoing radiation treatment, Pindara was one of the first hospitals to have made MooGoo emollient creams available for patients throughout the wound care and paediatrics wards as required. MooGoo’s leading therapeutic products include MooGoo Eczema and Psoriasis Cream (AUSTL 196718) and MooGoo Scalp Cream (AUSTL 196715), a wound healing moisturiser for cradle cap and seborrheic dermatitis. Just like the healthiest of natural foods, it is possible for consumers to develop allergies to the healthiest of natural skin care. For this reason, patch testing of natural emollients is always advised. Over the decade MooGoo has been available, common allergens such as essential oils have been removed. The Burleigh based company is also in the midst of developing a mild anti-bacterial hand wash to help encourage safe hand washing practices. The formulation has a %99.9999 kill rate without alcohol, and MooGoo hope to have this available later this year. The partnership between Pindara and MooGoo is a testament to the forwardlooking culture within Pindara which benefits both patients and practitioners. pm *Based on research conducted by Nielsen, from 14th March to 26th March 2014, among 693 surveyed Sydney aged 18+ who have suffered from a skin problem or skin condition. 52 Pindara Magazine Autumn 2015
