Why Baby Skin Needs Specialist Care
A baby's skin is significantly thinner and more permeable than adult skin, losing moisture more quickly and absorbing substances more easily. This makes it more susceptible to dryness, irritation, and reactions. Using products specifically developed for baby skin — with gentle, tested formulas — helps maintain the skin barrier and prevent discomfort during the key developmental months.
Mustela's baby and child range is built around this understanding: every formula is designed to be effective for the skin need it targets while remaining gentle enough for daily use from birth.
