This week we ask real mums to sample and review Full Marks – a revolutionary head lice treatment that contains no traditional pesticides.
Full Marks is gentle on your children’s scalp while still being clinically proven to kill head lice and eradicate eggs.
Unlike other head lice treatments that try to poison the louse with pesticides, Full Marks works by physical action causing irreversible dehydration and shrinkage of the louse.
Why Use Full Marks Head Lice Treatments?
✓ Contains no harsh traditional pesticides
✓ Clinically proven to kill head lice and eradicates eggs
✓ Quickly and easily treat head lice in under 10 minutes
✓ Odourless
✓ Suitable for sensitive skin
✓ Suitable for children over 2 years old
How to Use Full Marks:
Apply to dry hair and leave for 10 minutes.
Comb through hair with comb provided to remove the remains of lice and eggs.
Finally wash out using non-conditioning shampoo. It’s that easy.
Remember to retreat 7 days later*
*With many non-traditional insecticides – including Full Marks Solution – a second treatment, seven days after the first is required. This is to kill any newly-hatched lice which may have been missed in the initial treatment.
Where to buy Full Marks:
Available at your local pharmacy. Please call 1800 999 155 for your nearest store. RRP: $19.95
Always read the label. Use only as directed.

Its the best head lice solution I’ve used. I have used it several times and will not use any other product. No smell which is also a great thing also as I know my children used to complain in the past how strong smelling all the other products have been. Recommended this product 100℅
I have had to use this treatment over the holidays as the kids got nits from a friends place. used the treatment and it seemed to do the job. the kids are happy and nit free and I am relieved to have something that worked so well. very good.
I spent over $100 on different head lice treatments that didn’t work trying to get rid of the head lice my son picked up at school. Full Marks is the only one I found that works. Its quick and easy you can see that it works straight away. It also leaves his hair soft and clean afterwards not like a lot of other products I’ve used I recommend it everyone.
I have tried other products before and they have a terrible smell, the kids have complained about a burning feeling while they have to wait, the waiting time is so long for the children to sit and they get fidgety, with this product though the kids didn’t complain about the smell or the burning feeling and it was quick.
I used full marks on my daughters hair.
And it worked well it only needed one application and the nits were gone.
I purchased full marks from my local chemist and only cost me $20.00. Great product easy to use would reccomend. Also works for children who may have sensitive skin 🙂
I changed to this product when my step son kept coming to our house with headlice from school and we werent getting great results from other products. This product blew me away with its ease of use (pump action spray bottle) and how well it worked and that you only had to leave it on for 10 minutes! It also doesnt have a strong smell like alot of the other brands i had tried so was by far a winning product for our family.
I found this very easy to use and it didnt irritate the kids, it doesnt stink like a lot of other brands do and my girls have not had any sign of head lice since ive been using it and they usually would be prone to get them it was a nightmare but not anymore thanks to this great product
Not one I raced out to try as no one had head lice but finally someone in the family did and we tried it. Much much nicer then the old stuff that burned your head we used to use! Barely any smell and has a fantastic concept of how it works, like the idea of rather then multiple poisons on my kids heads!
I would recommend this to others. It works well and is simple and easy to use. Instructions are clear and it doesn’t seem to irritate scalps like other formulations I have used before do. I have no complaints about the product although I would love to never have to us it again!
I’ve used Full Marks Head Lice Treatment in the treatment of eradicating nits and lice before and would use again I’d required. There is no nasty odour and is quite easy to use. The only down fall to Full Marks Head Lice Treatment is that is does leave hair greasy requiring a least a couple of washes.
Full Marks head lice solution is easy to use, especially for children. It doesn’t how a nasty over powering smell, which I love. The price is more than reasonable however, the only drawback for me was that hair is left feeling greasy and does require washing a couple of times. Recommend buying the larger pack to treat the whole family.
I love that you can grab Full Marks Spray Solution from the supermarket. It was easy to use, spraying and combing through the hair. The only drawback was that I found it difficult to rinse out from the hair. The smell wasn’t overpowering compared to other products and after completing the second treatment all the creepy crawled were eradicated.
loved this stuff it was pretty easy to use and wiped out all head-lice in one go the only drawback was how oily it was, even after washing it out. It took about 3 days for hair to stop being oily but would still use it again the price is good and the effectiveness and smell is great.
Used this in the past and found that by the time I’d sprayed and dealt with the hair the solution was all over my hands making the pump hard to use, ended up wasting a towel trying to keep my hands clean and wiping the bottle, and it wasn’t any more effective than other treatments
my hubby grabbed this at the chemist. We also bought a comb. we used it and it did the job. i am happy with the lice free result. Because the smell was not overpowering (which was good), i did wonder if it would actually do the job. We would prefer not to use chemicals on our children but conditioner and combing will only get you so far and other “natural” products were not that effective and costlier. this is a product i would try again and it wasn’t one that i had seen before my hubby purchased it
The treatment was very effective however I found it difficult to get the product out from the hair. I would buy it again as it is the best treatment I’ve tried so far.
I used full marks & It killed off all the headlice and ( apparently) the nits too but in a week I had headlice again and I used full marks again & they didn’t seem to go because at the end of the week I always got headlice I have now used full marks three times and I still get headlice … Soo I need help , shall I continue to use full marks and check through my hair every day picking out nits or shall I use another product ? Because I’ve heard it becomes less effective once it’s been used 3 or more times :/ HELP PLEASE
my daughter often comes home from school with creepy crawleys. We have used many treatments until finding full marks. The creepys were dead within minutes, easy to use and I find that headlice is less of a problem in our house
I saw this product, and my granddaughter came home with head lice from school, so she was treated straight away. This product worked really well. She has hair down to her bottom so it can be difficult to comb out at times, but the Full Marks Spray worked well. It was really easy to comb her hair. The price was reasonable also. Treatments can be so expensive, especially if you have a large family, you really need to treat the whole family at the same time. Thanks for the hint to use Full marks. xx dee
as the name indicates i would like to give this full marks! my daughter has just started school and i was feeling lost as i didn’t knew any solution to lice problem. no worries any more, thanks to this effective product
I brought this after reading reviews about it. So glad i did it is great. No harsh smells like others and it really does kill the lice. Only on the head for 10 min which is great with younger children. Highly recommend.
I applied for this review over 2 years ago; I still have the original bottle (it has lasted this long) and used it on on numerous heads within the family (I have seven children). After using it once, we are lice free (per child) for 12+ or more months. LOVE it and wouldn’t try anything else!
Had to lice dip my girls twice now 🙁 I knew enrolling them in kindy would have its normal hiccups but i didn’t expect having to treat them for headlice…not that they had any but to make sure i could prevent it. I tried a different brand the first time and my girls said it felt hot on their heads and smelt disgusting…but this time i tried Full Marks range and it was great! No horrible smell, easy to use, didn’t phase my kids and no more head lice scares.
I have tried so many head lice treatments out there and there are not many that work very well.
I have probably come across 3 that work well and Full Marks is one of them.
It’s easy to use, doesn’t require to be left on the hair for long and doesn’t smell which makes for less children whinging at a job we all hate.
e brought this. Okay it does not smell great. It killed the nits but did not much about removing the eggs. All good we used a comb then I spent hours went through her head stand for strand. …. But now I have found a second use. Okay I pray her school hat. Twice a week and I mixed into her shampoo so when I wash her hair she will get a small treatment … Does not leave hair oily. But her hair has a nice shine,
Its the best head lice solution I’ve used. I have used it several times and will not use any other product. No smell which is also a great thing also as I know my children used to complain in the past how strong smelling all the other products have been. Recommended this product 100℅
I think this head lice product is very good. my kids got head lice and I used the treatment and it fixed the problem. I would recommend this head lice brand to other mums. I was very happy with the end result and the kids didn’t complain of the lice after the treatment.
I have had to use this treatment over the holidays as the kids got nits from a friends place. used the treatment and it seemed to do the job. the kids are happy and nit free and I am relieved to have something that worked so well. very good.

Genius Beach And Pool Tips Every Aussie Mum Should Know
Summer beach and pool days are core childhood memory creators, but getting the kids out the door, not so much! From wrestling wriggly toddlers into rashies to arguing with teens trying to dodge sunscreen and cramming half the house into the car, the exhaustion can kick in before we’ve even set foot on the sand!
But there are some very clever tips that will make even the most stressful summer days smooth sailing – and the Mouths of Mums community know them all! Which is why we asked our mums for their hints, hacks and tips – from sand removal to stress-free sunscreen application (we’re going to introduce you to the fabulous new Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Sprays that will make your life so much easier).
You’ll want to take note before you next hit the beach or pool!
Pack Smart, Not Big
Do you feel like you take waaayyy too much when you head to the beach or pool, and then you seem to forget a couple of key things that would have made life so much easier?
Our Mouths of Mums community swear by this fab list of essentials which should be in every mum’s beach kit, and
A plastic bag for wet towels and bathers
A dry bag for clothes
A bucket or basin to wash off sandy toys
A ‘clean zone’, sand-free blanket or mat for eating and changing
A pop-up tent for changing
Waterproof phone case
Talcum powder to get sticky, wet sand off little feet. Just pop it on and brush it off – it’s magic!
A hand-held car vac for quick sand cleanups!
“The amount of times my kids have gone home in wet chafing swimming costumes because they didn’t want anyone to see them changing is unbelievable! Our pop up tent has been life changing! We all drive home comfy and cosy! Lastly, a sand proof picnic blanket is so perfect for a sand reprieve! The sand literally falls right through them!” – MoM Member
Get Safety Sorted Before The Fun Starts
It’s pretty hard to get the kids’ attention once you’re at the beach or pool, so the safety talk should really start at home. Our mums recommend chatting to the kids about:
Swimming between the flags at the beach
Setting a meeting spot in case anyone gets separated
Sunscreen: Always apply sunscreen 20 minutes before heading outdoors. And set alarms to reapply every two hours throughout the day. Reapply immediately after swimming or using a towel.
Applying sunscreen at the start of the day and regularly throughout is so important, but it usually causes the most arguments. Kids don’t want to stop, teens assure you they ‘did it already’.
That’s where Banana Boat’s new SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ actually makes a difference. The iconic sunscreen brand has just launched its newest product, which turns sunscreen time into something simple and fun. It’s an easy and convenient way to tick off sun safety – which isn’t always easy when it comes to kids!
Why Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Spray makes sunscreen easier
The Smart Control Spray gives you the choice of a short spray for tricky spots or a long spray for larger areas like those wiggly little legs, making application simple and convenient. It also sprays from any angle – just spray, rub in and you’re ready for playtime.
Clear, lightweight formula that absorbs fast and with no greasy feel.
SPF50+ broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection and 4-hour water resistant.
Kids SmartMist™ is mild and gentle for kid’s sensitive skin, fragrance free and contains Aloe and Vitamin E.
Sport SmartMist™ features high-performance Powerstay Technology™, designed to stay on through sweat and water.
Banana Boat SmartMist makes those important sunscreen stops much easier and effective and is perfect for active Aussie families this summer.
Prep & Time It Perfectly
There’s nothing worse than kids itching to get to the beach while you’re trying to remember everything you need to pack – it makes everyone frazzled. So get prepped early – even the night before. And time your departure to minimise the amount of time in the car (and the amount of times the kids ask ‘are we there yet?!’.
“Packing the car the night before, always a huge help getting the bucket, cabana, and bag of spare clothes/towels in the boot. We usually leave straight after breakfast to avoid heavy traffic as the beach is an hour away.” – MoM Member
Pack Smart Snacks
Snacks are a must, but it can be tricky to know what’s going to survive a hot, Aussie summer day – and what’s good for hungry tummies. Here’s what our mums recommend:
Chopped fruit
Crackers
Boiled eggs
Drink bottles that have been frozen overnight
“We have a few allergies/intolerances, so being prepared with food is helpful and saves us the search and some money. I pre-chop carrots, cucumber, apples, boiled egg, in a handy separating container, a packet of chips, dip, and bring water bottles. If it’s a longer day planned at the beach I’ll bring lunch too.” – MoM Member
A chaos-free beach day. Yes please!
You don’t need a military-style plan to enjoy a sunny day out. A beach trolley, some prep, and an easy sunscreen like SmartMist™ are enough to help things run calmly – or at least calm-ish!
Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Wear protective clothing, a hat and sunglasses in addition to sunscreen. Reapply frequently every 2 hours or more often when sweating and immediately after swimming or using a towel. Avoid prolonged high-risk sun exposure.
