Sunscreen has been in the news again, and we’ve had a few questions!

Something to be aware of is that one of the big brands of “Zinc sunscreen” is actually a hybrid sunscreen. That means that while it does contain Zinc, it also uses synthetic UV filters to boost the SPF; something not always made clear on the label. This helps give it a thinner consistency than a pure clear zinc sunscreen.

For those wanting to avoid chemical UV filters and the pe*******on enhancers associated with that type of formula, the “### Zinc” label can be a bit confusing. So if you’re specifically after a Zinc-only sunscreen, make sure to check the ingredient list carefully.

The regulator has rightly pointed out that even an SPF 50 that tests closer to SPF 25 is still providing good sun protection. After all, SPF 25 still means 25 times your natural protection! However, in our opinion we do think brands should update their SPF claims once they’re aware of the actual results.

The best we could achieve (even with a thicker formula than most) was SPF 40, so we’ve always known that a Zinc-only SPF 50 is a bit of a stretch.

In any case, if you’re chasing lovely, healthy skin, don’t forget to protect yourself with hats, shade, and clothing while enjoying the sunshine. Summer has definitely arrived here on the Gold Coast! ☀️

Tanning creams. In theory, they’re simple: take a moisturiser, add two natural ingredients that react with proteins in your skin, and they stain dead skin cells brown. That’s why tans only last a few days before washing off.

The main ingredient is DHA, which is fast-acting and delivers most of the colour. The second, Erythrulose, adjusts the shade to be less orange. You actually need a touch of orange for that glow, especially on already lightly tanned skin, but not too much. The balance depends on your natural skin tone.

In practice, it’s a bit trickier because everyone has a different idea of the “perfect” tan. Recently, we bought a popular tanning cream and adjusted our ingredients to match it. As per the pic, our formula is in the middle (B), and the viral tanning cream nearest the hand (C). As it turns out, the adjustment meant slightly less DHA than our current formula, so it’s actually a bit cheaper to make.

We plan to use this as our Winter Formula. On very pale winter skin, the tones we’re after are softer than a summer formula. And the best part, MooGooers? The viral cream costs $79, but ours will be under $25. From an ingredient perspective, that’s exactly what it should be.

The new formula should be ready later this year!

Recently we came across a business coach on social media saying: “Why you should raise prices.” Their idea was that if you doubled your prices, you might lose half your customers, but you’d earn the same money with less work.

Sometimes, when we see products priced much higher than ours despite costing less to make, we wonder if that’s the strategy at play: a very high price tag, regardless of the ingredients or where it’s made.

We’re no business coach ourselves (we make mistakes!), but we 100% disagree with that logic. Many businesses start out charging premium prices for products that aren’t necessarily premium in ingredients. In fact they're often made overseas and simply marketed here.

We believe it’s far better to focus on real value, considering the quality of the ingredients. The rest takes care of itself. And honestly, it’s good to be busy. One of the best things about MooGoo is the number of people we proudly employ, from all kinds of backgrounds, to help make our MooGoo journey and community a success.

It still blows our mind that Aqueous Cream containing SLS (a powerful detergent) is widely used in clinical settings as a moisturiser. It just shows how rarely people check ingredients (thankfully you do, or you probably wouldn’t be here!)

But here’s the issue: studies show it can actually damage the skin barrier. One clinical trial found that SLS-containing Aqueous Cream increased transepidermal water loss (TEWL), making skin drier, disrupting barrier integrity, and even delaying recovery compared to other moisturisers.

So while Aqueous Cream may still be recommended by some, we’d suggest using almost anything else instead...

For those who followed the sunscreen SPF story, one key takeaway it highlighted was how some companies white-label the same stock formula across different brands and price points. For example, one brand might sell it for $52 for 75ml, while another offers the same formula for $25 for 120ml. That’s the power of marketing.

You already know at MooGoo we develop all our own formulas, constantly experimenting, testing, and refining. Our latest breakthrough product, the Pink Eczema Cream (AUSTL 457188) is just one example, but right now we’re working on about six new formulas, as well as improving things we believe could be even better.

It’s one of the most rewarding parts of the job. On average, it takes a couple of years to ensure a product is ready for you. We never use stock formulas, so it’s always a joy when others love our products too!

As for pricing, we aim to keep things as affordable as possible while using high-quality ingredients, producing here in Australia, and maintaining our standards.

One tip: to avoid paying top dollar for a stock formula, Google the ingredients list. In today’s influencer-driven world, it’s a more common practice than you think!
