What our experts say...
A generous size, this cream has a really lovely consistency and glides on the skin with ease. The barrier cream helped clear up the dribble rash on little babes chest. Minimal packaging, no strong scents, really enjoyed this product.
How amazing that 100% of the brand’s products are eco designed and the packaging 100% recyclable. No animal testing is a must for me so I am glad they don’t test on animals. I didn’t realise that they have a foundation that supports research and projects on child development and parenthood in order to improve quality of life for children throughout the world – I really love that child development and family matter to them.

Mustela’s barrier cream works amazingly well! I was very impressed to see how long the thick cream stayed on the skin, and how well it prevented irritations. It is reassuring to know that it is clinically tested and so well recommended by health professionals. In the end, the natural ingredients were the highest priority for me as I am reassured that I am making positive choices for my baby’s well being.
I was deeply impressed to see Mustela’s devotion to supporting children and families worldwide through their foundation and their efforts to protect 1000 hectares of land in Peru, while responsibly sourcing ingredients such as avocados. It is also admirable to learn of their commitment to reducing their production usage of water, electricity and gas.

This is a really effective and gentle cream for the prevention and treatment of red bottoms. I’m a big fan of zinc based creams as I find it provides the best barrier to keep moisture away from the skin and allow healing. Unscented, protective and soothing. I’m really impressed.

I found this product to be a reliable, zero-frills nappy cream that does the job. The package itself is a flexible tube, making it easy to get every last drop of the cream. I loathe product wastage, so I appreciate this style of packaging.
