Mustela Gentle Cleansing Gel baby wash & shampoo, 16.9 fl oz — tear-free, 93% plant-based with Avocado Perseose

Mustela Gentle Cleansing Gel is a tear-free, newborn-safe body wash and shampoo formulated with 93% plant-based ingredients and Avocado Perseose to cleanse, hydrate, and protect delicate baby skin and hair.

This biodegradable, pediatrician-tested cleansing gel removes dirt and milk residue while helping preserve the skin’s natural moisture barrier. The lightweight gel lathers easily, rinses cleanly, and contains panthenol (Vitamin B5) to soothe the scalp without stripping natural oils. Free from parabens, phthalates, and phenoxyethanol, it was developed to minimize allergic reactions and to be gentle enough for daily use on newborns, infants, and children.

How does this baby wash keep newborn skin hydrated?

The formula includes Avocado Perseose, a patented natural extract that supports the skin’s hydration and helps maintain its structure. Glycerin and panthenol add humectant and soothing properties, so skin feels soft after rinsing rather than tight.

• Contains Avocado Perseose to help protect skin moisture.
• Glycerin and panthenol soothe and attract hydration.
• Light, non-stripping surfactants clean without over-drying.

Is it safe and gentle enough for a newborn’s scalp and eyes?

Mustela Gentle Cleansing Gel is formulated to be tear-free and to minimize irritation, making it suitable for newborns when used as directed. The product has been tested under pediatric and dermatological control and avoids common irritants like parabens and phthalates.

• Tear-free formulation reduces stinging at the eyes.
• Pediatric- and dermatologically-tested for sensitivity.
• Hypoallergenic and designed to minimize allergic reaction risk.

How should I use this wash for best results?

Dispense a small amount into your hand, lather over baby’s body and scalp, then rinse thoroughly. For newborns, keep baths brief and pat skin dry; always perform a patch test before full use if your baby has known sensitivities.

• Pump a small amount and create a gentle lather.
• Rinse completely to avoid residue on skin or scalp.
• Follow with a baby moisturizer if extra hydration is needed.

What makes this formula more natural than typical baby washes?

• 93% plant-based ingredients, including avocado extract.
• Biodegradable formula that’s kinder to the environment.
