We've been using Mustela for our sons' bath time (although we're currently trying out Sebamed). I asked Vince to dig up photos of the boys taking a bath and he gave me these funny pics. Iñigo's just 10 months old here and Vito's just about to turn 3. They are so hilarious!
Mustela is a mommy-and-baby care line that offers natural, safe and innovative formulas for expecting moms, newborns and onwards. Even I use it to wash my face sometimes! They are hypoallergenic; tested by dermatologists and pediatricians; has no parabens, phenoxyethanol, phthalate, EDTA, genetically modified plant extract, chlorphenesin, alcohol, SLS, etc.; and
at least 92% of ingredients are from natural origins. They smell really good, too! When Mustela invited me to a little gathering with other moms to check out their new line called Mustela Bebe, I just had to go!

Here's what I learned:
T
he Mustela researchers discovered that: - A newborn’s skin contains a rich cellular resource: a reserve of stem cells at its highest potential at birth
- These cellular resources constitute the vital resources of baby’s skin and are needed for a lifetime
- This stem-cell reserve remains extremely vulnerable during the first few years of life, while the cutaneous barrier is being built.
- It takes several years for the skin barrier to reach maturity.
- While it is still being formed, the skin barrier is particularly vulnerable to daily stresses.
- As a result, this fragility prevents it from effectively protecting the precious vital resource present in babies’ skin.
Now, Mustela's Bebe and Sun Protection products have a new active ingredient called
Avocado Perseose, which supports the development of the barrier function and protects the reserve of cells against day-to-day stresses.
I will have to say that Mustela is an expensive brand. That's why I ask my sisters-in-law to give Mustela to the boys for their birthdays! (I know. I am such a party-pooper!) But the products are really worth it. Try them on your babies and on yourselves now!
Mustela is available in stand-alone kiosks in Ayala Trinoma, Robinson's Ermita, Glorietta 4, Shangrila Mall, Megamall A, Greenhills, The Shops, Alabang Town Center, and Mall of Asia.
