About Mustela

An entrepreneur and a pharmacist once met, and our story began. It all started in 1950, when Paul Berthomé decided to partner with a pharmacist Claude Guillon, to create the very first cleansing milk specially designed for babies’ skin. On top of achieving a technical innovation, they also introduced a way to free up time for parents – which, let’s face it, really meant women’s time, back then.

Since their creation, they always choose the very best ingredients from the plant world and follow a rigorous formulation charter to ensure the safety of their products.

Mustela hold a red list of ingredients which they ban from

their formulas with restrictions that go beyond the European legislation, already considered as one of the strictest in the cosmetics world. You will never find the following in their list of ingredients:

Paraben, Phenoxyethanol, Triclosan, Phthalates, Cyclotetrasiloxane (silicone), Amonium Lauryl Sulfate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLS-SLES), Essential oils, Alcohol (ethanol), BHA / BHT, Benzophenone (oxybenzone), ethoxycinnamate (octinoxate), Methylisothiazolinone and Methylchloroisothiazolinone (MIT-MCIT). 

We stand by parents. 70 years after its creation, Mustela’s

ambition remains the same: to stand by parents and support them in their daily family life by offering a range of natural origin cosmetic products. In other words: to free parents

from nappy rashes, from the effect of hard water at bath time,

from those red and itchy spots that won’t let baby (or anyone)

sleep, from those nasty looking scrapes and scratches, or from  figuring out what sunscreen protection should be used as soon as the summer sun sets in. Because parents have much better things to do, don’t they?

96% Of ingredients of natural origin is what you will find on average, across all the product ranges, by skin type.
