Mustela Foam Shampoo for Newborns is a gentle, fragrance-free foaming cleanser that cleans hair, helps reduce cradle cap flakes, and rinses away easily without weighing down delicate baby hair.

This lightweight foam shampoo is formulated for use on newborns and infants, combining 99% naturally derived ingredients with avocado oil polyphenols to gently exfoliate and minimize the appearance and recurrence of cradle cap. The airy texture distributes smoothly across the scalp, rinses clean, and is packaged with a pump for convenient, one-handed application during bath time. Hypoallergenic and free from parabens, phthalates, phenoxyethanol, and added fragrance, it is tested under pediatric and dermatological control and designed to be biodegradable and environmentally considerate.

How does this shampoo help with cradle cap?

The formula uses gentle exfoliating agents plus avocado oil polyphenols to loosen and remove flaky skin while supporting a healthier scalp environment. It is designed to reduce flakes and lower the chance of recurrence when used as directed.

• Targets flakes with light, non-abrasive exfoliation.
• Avocado-derived polyphenols help soothe and support the scalp barrier.
• Rinses clean so residue won’t trap oils or weigh hair down.
• Use once to a few times weekly as part of a baby skincare routine.

Is it safe for newborns and sensitive skin?

Yes — the formula is fragrance-free and hypoallergenic, formulated to minimize the risk of irritation on delicate skin and tested under pediatric and dermatological supervision. Ingredients are selected to be gentle while remaining effective for cleansing and exfoliation.

• 99% ingredients of natural origin per ISO 16128 standard.
• Free from parabens, phthalates, phenoxyethanol, and added fragrance.
• Hypoallergenic and pediatric/dermatologist tested for baby use.
• Biodegradable formulation for reduced environmental impact.

How do I use the foam shampoo at bath time?

Dispense a small amount from the pump onto your hand, massage gently into your baby’s wet hair and scalp, leave for 1–2 minutes to let the formula work on flakes, then rinse thoroughly. The foam texture makes it easy to control application around the forehead and eyebrow areas.

• Pump a small amount into palm — one or two pumps is usually enough.
• Massage briefly, avoiding eyes; leave 1–2 minutes for exfoliation.
• Rinse carefully until water runs clear; repeat only if needed.
• Always patch-test a small area before first full use.

Will it leave baby’s hair soft and manageable?

The airy foam is formulated to cleanse and remove flakes without stripping natural oils or flattening fine baby hair. After rinsing, hair feels light, clean, and easy to style with a soft brush.

• Light rinse-off texture prevents residue buildup.
• Formulated to avoid weighing down fine newborn hair.
• Leaves scalp balanced to reduce flakiness and improve texture.
• Suitable for routine use when cradle cap is present.
