Contains Milk Protein - use with caution if you have a known sensitivity to dairy-derived ingredients. If scalp irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult your healthcare professional. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\" class=\"mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eMore Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMooGoo Cream Conditioner is one of those products that makes sense the moment you understand how conventional conditioners actually work. Most conditioners use silicone-based ingredients - identified on labels by suffixes like -cone, -xane, or -siloxane - to create the sensation of smooth, silky hair. The problem is that silicone doesn't hydrate. It coats the hair shaft in a waterproof film that mimics softness but blocks moisture from entering or leaving the hair, builds up with repeated use, and can irritate sensitive scalps over time. Strip it away with a clarifying shampoo and the hair underneath is often drier than it was to begin with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMooGoo takes a different approach. The formula uses Jojoba Oil and Olive Oil - two plant-based oils with a fatty acid composition that is closely aligned with the natural oils of the scalp and hair - to deliver genuine moisture absorption rather than surface coating. Jojoba, technically a liquid wax, is non-comedogenic and absorbs easily without leaving a greasy residue. Olive Oil is rich in antioxidants and contributes nourishment and barrier support, particularly relevant for hair that has been coloured, heat-styled, or chemically treated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHydrolysed Milk Protein is the star conditioning ingredient. It penetrates into every layer of the hair cuticle - not just the surface - and creates a protective protein layer that revitalises the hair's natural protective coating from the inside out. The result is hair that has genuine strength, bounce, and resilience rather than the surface-level slip that silicone provides. Behentrimonium Methosulfate, a canola-derived ingredient, provides detangling, anti-static, and anti-frizz properties without the irritation associated with some harsher conditioning agents. Piroctone Olamine supports a balanced scalp microbiome, which is particularly relevant for those managing dandruff or scalp sensitivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe formula carries a phthalate-free natural coconut fragrance that is kind to sensitive scalps - developed specifically to keep all fragrance components below EU allergy thresholds. The conditioner works across all hair types: reviewers with fine, straight, wavy, curly, thick, Afro, and colour-treated hair all report soft, healthy results without the heaviness or build-up of silicone-based alternatives. It is also widely used as a co-wash by those following the no-poo method. Australian made and cruelty free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\" class=\"mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is this conditioner silicone-free and does that make a difference?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSilicones coat the hair in a waterproof film that creates the sensation of smoothness but doesn't actually hydrate. Over time they build up on the hair and scalp, leaving hair limp and scalps irritated. MooGoo uses Jojoba Oil, Olive Oil, and Hydrolysed Milk Protein instead - ingredients that absorb into the hair shaft to deliver real moisture and strength rather than surface coating. The result is hair that feels genuinely soft and healthy rather than artificially slippery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this suitable for sensitive or problem-prone scalps?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The formula was originally developed for a family member with a super-sensitive, itchy scalp, so it was built from the ground up without common irritants. It is suitable for those with dry, itchy, or sensitive scalps and those prone to eczema, psoriasis, or seborrheic dermatitis. For more targeted flake and itch management, the MooGoo Flake-Free Conditioner (which adds Menthol and additional scalp-active ingredients) may be a better fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use this on curly or frizzy hair?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes - curly-haired customers consistently rate it highly for smoothing frizz and defining curls without the weight or build-up of silicone conditioners. Some customers also use it as a co-wash (the no-poo method) in place of shampoo, applying it to wet hair, working through, and rinsing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this colour-safe?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The formula is free from harsh detergents and sulphates, making it safe for colour-treated and chemically processed hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Milk Protein and does this product contain actual milk?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo - there is no fresh milk in the formula. The product uses Hydrolysed Milk Protein, a processed ingredient derived from milk that has been broken down into smaller protein fragments. It absorbs easily into every layer of the hair cuticle, creating a protective protein layer that revitalises the hair's natural protective coating and supports strength and vitality. Those with a known dairy allergy or sensitivity should use caution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this product safe during pregnancy and for children?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The formula is free from silicones, harsh chemicals, and synthetic fragrances, making it safe for use during pregnancy and on children including babies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MooGoo","offers":[{"title":"500ml","offer_id":45650817974381,"sku":"MOG003","price":19.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0267\/4681\/4573\/files\/Scalpfriendlycondi.jpg?v=1786928105","url":"https:\/\/healthy.co.nz\/products\/sensitive-scalp-cream-conditioner","provider":"healthy.co.nz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
