Want to know a secret? Our Moisturising Shower Cream is actually a baby cleanser. We felt that every mama can use a little babying sometimes. That explains why it is so gentle – it won’t strip your skin like a harsh soap.
Also it is Sodium Laureth Sulfate and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate free. What the heck are we talking about did we hear you ask? Well these two ingredients are probably in almost anything you have that makes bubbles in your home – go ahead check your shampoo, your bubble bath, your dishwashing liquid, your kitchen floor cleaner and your car shampoo. Weird eh? We thought so to – so we don’t use it, ever. Plus it’s a well known skin irritant linked to all kinds of not-so-nice things. We don’t want to go into too much detail, but google it.
Sian likes to use it in her bubble baths at the weekend (who has the time during the week?) and even adds a few drops of one of our body oils to the water to really maximise the indulgence. Tanya and Kathy are more shower girls – and love it. Our kids have started stealing it from the bathroom – so we guess they love it too. We gets lots of glowing reports from cleansing aficionados (that’s fancy for really fussy about their soap) and Mama Mio Moisturising Shower Cream gets the big stamp of approval. To be honest – we are quite simplistic about our Shower Cream; we love it because it smells good, feels good, doesn’t dry out our skin and (usually) we don’t stink.
Mama Mio Moisturising Shower Cream is laden with ingredients that work together to soften, calm, hydrate and condition your skin.
Glycerin is one of the best known humectants. It helps to maintain the moisture level on the skin. It also plays a vital role by helping to maintain the lipids of the epidermis. In other words, it keeps your skin feeling lovely and soft rather than stripped and dried out after showering.
It also contains natural extracts: Arnica, is wonderful for helping soften and condition the skin; Chamomile is calming and soothing; Aloe Vera is similarly calming but also nourishing and very hydrating.
Ummm… Use in the shower or in the bath. We’re hoping you already know how!
Our amazing US Marketing guru, Cathy O, asked that we share her discovery with you. Let us start by saying Cathy O is the queen of skincare – with a pedigree that includes Crème de la Mer and Jo Malone – she is as fussy as can be about what she applies to her face. Having heard us tell her a thousand times that Mama Mio is facial quality skincare for the body, she had a genius moment when she ran out of her super duper facial cleanser and reached for her Mama Mio Moisturising Shower Cream.
She has been using it as her cleanser for a month now and she says it is amazing. Her skin looks great, some would say vibrant and every evening she is amazed at how it is less dry and much cleaner than it was before. We’ve started using it too and have to agree – looking good!
