Paw & Hand Hydrating Pack

Our FIRST ever value pack for humans & pets! These balms are made with natural oils to deeply hydrate very dry, cracked skin. An essen-tail for the coming winter months. While the formulas are very similar, they've both been tweaked to be optimised for hands, or paws!

Each pack includes:

• MooGoo Shea Sorbet Vanilla Butter Balm
• Dr Zoo Crusty Nose Itchy Toes Nose & Paw Butter

What makes these balms so great?

• Shea Sorbet, an extremely hydrating oil.
• Hemp Seed Oil to help soothe the skin.
• A natural vanilla fragrance for the humans. (Smells like your fave vanilla candle.)
• Apple Cider Vinegar for the pets, to balance their pH.

Pets - Apply directly over the paw pads or nose. Paws will be slippery after application so allow time for them to dry unless you want to have a laugh. We recommend distracting your pet for a little bit so they don’t lick all the product off straight away.

Humans - Use this butter balm on the areas where a normal moisturiser just won’t cut it. Learn to love those extra dry areas such as hands, knees, heels and elbows that always seem to be a little rougher than the rest.

Dr Zoo Crusty Nose Itchy Toes Nose & Paw Butter - Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Cera Alba (Beeswax), Acetum (Apple Cider Vinegar), Cannibis Sativa (Hemp) Seed Oil, Piroctone Olamine (Olamine Salt), Allantoin, Tocopherol (Natural Vitamin E).

MooGoo Shea Sorbet Vanilla Butter Balm - Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Cera Alba (Beeswax), Cannabis Sativa (Hemp) Seed Oil, Piroctone Olamine (Olamine Salt), Allantoin, Tocopherol (Natural Vitamin E), Natural Vanilla Fragrance.

How can I take care of my pet paws?

Paws pads need attention and care and you should always be aware of the nail length, cracked pads and of objects stuck in between paw pads. We have compiled a few easy steps to follow all year round to protect your pet paws and to prevent problems such as torn nails, pad burns, and dryness. Read more here in our blog post 5 Tips to Take Care of Your Pets Paws.

Is this a dog moisturiser?

Yes, this is a moisturiser that will leave your dog's skin nourished, hydrated and repaired. It's great for paw pads and noses as its name suggests. If you have an itchy dog, our Irritable Skin Cream is a moisturiser designed to help soothe irritated, itchy skin.

MooGoo Shea Sorbet Vanilla Butter Balm

My Shea Sorbet is hard. What’s the best way to apply it?

At room temperature Shea Sorbet is solid and can be a bit harder in the winter months. The best way to apply it is to rub a small chunk of the balm in between hands to warm it up to body temperature and then generously apply to your rough spots and allow to soak in overnight. If treating really crusty hooves, apply and cover with socks to help lock in that extra moisture.

Are your moisturisers made of milk?

We aren’t called MooGoo because our moisturisers are made of milk. If you think about it, putting any meaningful amount of fresh milk into a cream and 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 some of our skincare products because research has found that it helps to increase skin elasticity by up to 20%.

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.

I see fragrance in the ingredients list, what is the fragrance exactly?

When it comes to fragrance, in the past we tried to keep our products fragrance-free as many of our customers were allergic to them. At the same time, the overall response from our customers is that they prefer our moisturisers with a subtle fragrance. To do this, we had to make sure that the inclusion of any fragrance wasn't going to compromise the gentleness of our formulas.

The main concern with most fragrances is that they’re often made with phthalates. Of course, we don’t use these in our formulas because they’re well-known to be irritating to the skin, often causing dryness and itching. Instead, we use a blend of non-irritating, hypoallergenic fragrances that are suitable for even the most sensitive skin. Each part of this fragrance blend is below the EU’s allergy threshold, and we have used it in many of our products for years now without any reactions. The fragrances we use are proprietary blends from a company we work with, so unfortunately, we cannot reveal their exact details. Think of it as our top secret, reaction-free recipe!

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.
