Moo & Yoo Vegan Haircare

I love it when a brand has a really good background to share and Moo & Yoo is one of them. Created by Suzie who became increasingly frustrated that many of the salon products she was using, as a hair stylist and salon owner, were too harsh and irritated her skin. So, she joined forces with hr daughter Olivia to create their own solution, bringing gentle and natural products in fully recyclable glass bottles and jars to UK salons and customers - Meet Moo & Yoo.
Moo & Yoo Vegan Haircare
I was kindly gifted three products from what is, a very extensive range of hair care, body care as well as some lifestyle products - think candles and hair brushes.   The three products, shown above, look and feel luxurious as they are housed in wonderfully heavy glass bottles, making them recyclable and everything you need to know about the product is written there.

If you're not sure which hair care products you need to be using, then helpfully there is a hair care quiz to try and it is really helpful to go through to narrow down your options. 

I have The Miracle Shampoo which is described as being a cleansing, gentle and nourishing product for all hair types.  This bottle, as you can see, comes with a pump action dispenser which is really handy for using and I find two pumps is enough for my hair.
Moo & Yoo Vegan Haircare
This is a lightweight silky shampoo which really leaves your hair feeling clean, soft and nourished. It has been almost 9 months since I have been into a salon, so my hair needs all the TLC it can get and thankfully this collection ticks boxes. Kind to the scalp, it causes no irritation it uses natural Marula oil and Icelandic moss which also protect the hair from the damaging effects of UV exposure and environmental toxins.

The advice before using this shampoo, other than to ensure your hair is thoroughly soaked through, is to shake it really well because it is a natural product and could separate.

Following on from the Miracle Shampoo comes the Miracle Conditioner and again, as you can see, it comes packaged in a matching glass bottle with a dispenser too.

Again, this is a really lightweight conditioner, which whist slightly thicker in texture than the shampoo, doesn't weight the hair down or leave it feeling greasy. Its job is to nourish and protect the hair leaving which it does, but at the same time, mine is left feeling so hydrated, soft to the touch and almost frizz free, just those pesky baby hairs that refuse to pipe down.

In the conditioner we also see the same use of both Marula oil and Icelandic moss which lock-in moisture, promote shine and also protect the hair from the damaging effects of UV exposure and environmental toxins.

If your hair is in real need of some TLC, then the Miracle Mask is an absolute must try hair mask. I try to remember to use a hair mask at least once a week, if not every 2 weeks because my hair is just dreadful otherwise.

The Masks job is to leave your hair feeling rehydrated, silky and shiny as it repairs and strengthens, seals the hairs cuticle and helps to try and banish those pesky dry and frizzy ends.

This is a really rich and nourishing hair mask and I use around a table spoon of the mask on my lengths and ends and leave it to work for around 5 minutes before I rinse it out, but if I want to really get the most out of this mask, I apply a thicker layer to my entire hair and then cover it with my shower cap and let it work for around 15 minutes before rinsing it out.

Again, the ingredients within this mask is Marula oil, Sweet Almond Oil and Icelandic moss which not only lock-in moisture but also work to protect from the effects of UV exposure and environmental toxins.

A really lovely brand to get to know and absolutely one that you should be looking to try, especially if you want the more natural, vegan and cruelty free products.

Nourish London Argan Anti-Ageing Skincare Essentials Set

One way to get to know a brand and what they have to offer is with their Travel Size offers and one thing Nourish London has, is a whole selection of products in generous travel sizes that are sold as stand alone offerings or in sets and kits like this Argan Anti-Ageing Skincare Essentials Set.
Nourish London Argan Anti-Ageing Skincare Essentials Set
I was first introduced to Nourish London in 2021 with their The Gift of Radiance collection and since then I have been lucky enough to try further products including the Probiotic Multi-Mineral Repair Mask which is fantastic.
Turn back the clock and fight the signs of ageing with the complete anti-ageing 4-step skincare set, featuring Cleanser Mist Serum & Moisturiser.
So, this Argan Anti-Ageing Skincare Essentials Set is made up of four different products from the Nourish London Collection and is priced at just £37 - here and everything comes packaged in a fair trade organic cotton bag, by Freeset.
Nourish London Argan Anti-Ageing Skincare Essentials Set
The four products inside this skincare set help to create a really simple, but effective skincare routine and it features everything from a cleanser to Serum.

First up is the Skin Renew Argan Cleanser - Powered with Argan and Jojoba oils and pollution protecting kale extract, this hydrating formula of natural oils deeply cleanses without stripping, leaving skin hydrated and protected. It also features an enhanced omega-rich cleansing formula to sweep away impurities, melt away makeup and refine and hydrate the skin.

The creamy formula is silky smooth on the skin and should be used on damp skin, it literally cleans everything in its path, once it has been removed from the skin, I love how clean and hydrated it feels.

The second product is the Antioxidant Peptide Mist and I absolutely love a good mist. Formulated with peptides and a soothing blend of essential oils, this mist is designed to instantly hydrate, brighten, protect and calm the skin.

Powered with the likes of antioxidant turmeric, probiotic minerals and anti-ageing peptides, you will also find hyaluronic acid and liquorice to brighten the skin and boost radiance. With a power spritz which gives an intense hit of mist without drenching your skin, this facial mist quenches dry skin and helps to revive sleep-deprived skin, perfect for all-day freshness and air-conditioned environments.

The third product is the Anti-ageing Face Serum, I am already a fan of the Radiance Rejuvenating Peptide Serum, this one has a lot to live up to.

Suitable for all skin types, this serum is formulated with peptides, hyaluronic acid, argan and kale which work to boost collagen and reduce fine lines as well as to smooth and nourish the skin.  On the skin, this serum is really lightweight and has an almost watery like texture to it, which when it comes to serums, I really enjoy. It absorbs quickly on contact and isn't sticky or tacky.

The Final product within this collection is the Anti-ageing Daily Moisturiser and this really is a pot of joy.  Formulated with omega-rich argan oil, collagen-boosting tri-peptides and antioxidant vitamin E, these ingredients come together to increase skin hydration, nourishes, smooths and firms the skin, helping to minimise fine lines and other signs of ageing.

The inclusion of frankincense, myrrh & borage oils are also added and they work together to rejuvenate the skin whilst rose of Jericho optimise hydration and strengthen skin cells which in turn works to improve elasticity and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.  On the skin, this is a really light moisturising cream which absorbs super quickly leaving nothing on the skin at all, except the feeling of hydration and moisturisation.

As a set of skincare products, these four really work well together and are perfect for keeping your travel skincare to the absolute minimum whilst still taking care of your skin.

You can find the Nourish London Argan Anti-Ageing Skincare Essentials Set right here alongside the rest of the brands products.
