Mo's Original
Made by hand, with love, and a secret blend of 100% natural ingredients, Mo’s Hand & Body Cream has for decades restored and nourished dry and dehydrated skin.
In addition to being available under our new brand umbrella, Mo&Co, Mo's will soon be joined by a newly formulated (and still homemade) skincare product. Watch this space!
Our story
Originally developed many years ago, Mo’s Hand & Body Cream has long restored and nourished dry and dehydrated skin. Maureen Amor-Smith, known to her friends as Mo, recalls how her husband’s psoriasis led her down the path to creating Mo’s Original Hand and Body Cream:
‘At the time, all those years ago, I couldn’t find anything that would relieve the discomfort he was experiencing. I experimented with a variety of skin loving oils and tissue oils until I found the perfect blend that offered relief and instant comfort.'
The rest as they say, is history. As friends started using the cream, word spread- with the original and unique blend still be in demand DECADES later!
Powered by NATURE
Brimming with natural ingredients and anti-oxidants, Mo’s Cream adds a protective layer to the skin. The special blend of Rooibos extract, carefully chosen essential oils (and a unique patting method to enhance penetration of the oils into the base emulsion), creates a soft and skin loving nourisher. It also leaves no greasy film, but rather a silky overcoat that leaves your skin feeling smooth and balanced.
Handmade GOODNESS
Limited base preservatives allow the natural antimicrobial and antibacterial effects of the oils to have greater impact. For those familiar with the delicate and creamy base, this soothing cream's effects are long lasting.
ROOIBOS infused
The addition of Rooibos extract, indigenous to South Africa's mountainous region of Cederberg and made from Aspalathus linearis - a plant family that forms part of the fynbos biome - adds protection and makes the skin more resilient to daily stresses. Rich in anti-oxidants, it has an anti-aging effect that plays a supportive role in natural skin functions.
TOP to TOE benefits
Made by hand, and with love, Mo's Cream makes the ideal gift for those struggling with skin health, or who just want to lather on some of this TLC:
Laden with NATURAL ingredients
Original & unique formulation, home-made for more than two decades
Promoter of skin health and comfort
Non-greasy texture for effective absorption and tactile appeal
Aromatically infused with Rooibos extract and other secrets
Showered MAGIC
There’s nothing like a quick hot shower, but even water can strip the skin of its natural moisture- and stress plays havoc with our skins. Dehydration, sun spots and ageing are all factors that can lead to crepey, dry skin.Rich essential oils add a protective layer on the skin to help retain your natural inherent moisture, making Mo's Cream a perfect post shower boost.
Testimonials
Lynn
I've helped my mom with the business for the past ten years, hardly able to keep up with demand. It was time for Mo’s Cream to step out into the spotlight so that more people could enjoy this one-step top to bottom product for all over moisture and protection.
Marianne
I love the fact that it is a simple, skin loving cream. No airs and graces but rather a focus on natural ingredients. And I love the way it feels on my skin.
Sharyn
My go-to cream after exercise or showering. It’s rich and creamy… and just what my skin needs after (another) stressful day. I've started gifting it to friends now, and they all want more!
Lisa
I just love that it smells as good as it feels. It's become part of my daily beauty regimen, and I absolutely adore that it's a local homemade specialty.
