Dermatologist Recommended

Dermatologists are medical experts specializing in diagnosing and treating conditions related to the skin, hair, and nails. When a skincare product is labeled as “dermatologist recommended,” it means that a dermatologist has reviewed and approved the product as safe and effective.

Many of Mustela’s Dermatologist Recommended products have also earned other certifications and awards, such as:

• Skin Cancer Foundation Recommended
• National Eczema Association Certified
• EWG Verified

When we say that Mustela products are dermatologist-tested, we mean it. Pediatricians and dermatologists thoroughly test our products to ensure they meet our rigorous standards.

Our testing process includes over 450 safety, efficacy, and tolerance tests. None of these tests use animals. As a French company, we comply with the European regulations that ban animal testing.

Most Mustela products are safe for babies from birth. They also work for adults, making them a good choice for the whole family.

We’ve been studying the physiology of babies’ skin for 70 years and have published 59 international scientific publications on the topic. We’re committed to creating gentle and effective products that care for and nourish your baby’s delicate skin.

Our formulas include the best natural ingredients possible. The stars are avocados and sunflowers, but we also use other natural ingredients like Vitamin B5, Sweet almond oil, and aloe.

Our ingredient lists do not include parabens, phthalates, or phenoxyethanol, as these harsh chemicals can irritate the skin.

Dermatologists recommend making a baby’s skincare routine simple and gentle. You want it to be something you can do consistently, so keep it short and sweet.

But before you implement a new skincare routine, you’ll want to select products specially formulated for babies. Their delicate skin requires extra care that adult products can’t provide.

Mustela skincare products are a great option. Our products use natural ingredients and have been thoroughly tested for safety and effectiveness.

To get started, here’s a simple skincare routine you can follow for your baby.

Cleanse

Use gentle, soap-free cleansers like our Stelatopia Cleansing Oil and Foam Shampoo for Newborns. These will keep your baby’s skin clean without stripping their natural oils.

While your baby doesn’t need a bath every day, it is important to keep them clean. Use our No Rinse Cleansing Water between baths to remove dirt and impurities.

Moisturize

Babies have skin that’s still developing. It doesn’t hold in moisture as well as adult skin, making it more prone to dryness. To keep your baby’s skin hydrated, apply a gentle moisturizer after bathing and throughout the day as necessary.

Consider using our Cicastela Moisture Recovery Cream. It’s formulated with Avocado Perseose® and hyaluronic acid to keep skin moisturized.

Protect

Sun protection is a critical part of any skincare routine. If your child is over six months old, you can safely apply our SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen Lotion daily. If they’re younger, reserve the sunscreen for times when direct sun exposure is unavoidable.

Mustela cares about your baby's health and well-being. Our products are specially formulated with ingredients you can feel good about using on their delicate skin.

We prioritize using plant-based ingredients like our Avocado Perseose® and Sunflower Oil Distillate. These gentle ingredients harness the power of nature to nourish and protect your baby’s skin.

Sustainability is another big priority for us as a B Corp. We produce our products using eco-friendly packaging and responsible practices. Since 2010, we’ve saved 142 tons of plastic in product packing, and by 2030, we aim to reach carbon neutrality.

When you choose Mustela products, you’re choosing the best for your baby’s skin and the planet. Our commitment to sustainability and natural ingredients sets us apart from the competition.
