Mustela (4)

For newborns and parents—and every age in between—Mustela has an eco-friendly formula that’s just right.

The History of Mustela

In 1950, Paul Berthomé partnered with pharmacist Claude Guillon to create the very first baby cleansing milk. In 1977, the brand started developing plant-based ingredients in-house (like oils and butters) using molecular distillation technology that minimized harm to the environment. Today, their eco-friendly efforts continue and the brand is proud to be a Certified B Corp.

Mustela Company Mission

Mustela is a French family-owned brand that supports parents by manufacturing gentle skin care products for newborns and beyond. In seventy years, their mission hasn’t changed: to relieve parents from dealing with diaper rash, itchy spots, scratches, and other other common conditions.

Benefits of Mustela

Mustela promotes environmentally friendly sourcing featuring organic and upcycled ingredients, and creams and lotions are always free from alcohol, essential oils, parabens, phenoxyethanol, and phthalates. Mustela’s teams have also developed innovative formulas to support different skin types, including dry, sensitive, and eczema-prone.
