It all began in 1950, when Paul Berthomé teamed up with pharmacist Claude Guillon to create the very first baby cleansing milk. Not only did they create a technical innovation, they also created a new way to free up parents' time.
75 years and many millions of soft-skinned babies later, our ambition is still the same: to help parents and make their lives easier with our natural cosmetics brands.
Discover our different iconic Mustela products, handed down from generation to generation.
Since 1957, 95% of our products have been manufactured at our Epernon site in Eur-et-Loire, France.
Since 1957, we have ensured that we control our value chain from A to Z: from research to production and marketing. The aim of our strategy is to better control the safety and quality of our products.
An independent family business
Mustela is still a family business: it belongs to the family of Paul Berthomé, the founder of Laboratoires Expanscience. His son, Jean-Paul, now heads the company.
Why remain independent?
This strategy is simply to ensure that the company's value chain is controlled from A to Z: from research to marketing - which, of course, includes product quality and safety control. Our independence also ensures that we always adopt a continuous improvement approach towards a neutral - and ultimately positive - impact on our environment and the world. Our credo is simple: try to do better every day.
