Product Reviews by Experts
As someone with three kids who have all experienced cradle cap – this is a wonderful, gentle product. I noticed such a big difference after using the foaming shampoo, it really helped to soften the dried skin. I love the inclusion of avocado extract. I wish I tried this sooner! This formulation is very mild and minimalist – so great for even the littlest ones who are struggling with cradle cap right from birth. I feel so much better using ingredients like this compared to some of the harsher solutions on the market. I also appreciate that it has no fragrance so I would feel very confident using it on a newborn. I’d also like to add that Mustela’s long-term relationship with PANDA really stands out to me as it shows such a genuine investment in the wellbeing of parents.
I appreciate the short ingredient list and that the formulation is fragrance-free. The inclusion of gentle, plant-derived ingredients and avocado extract makes it feel like a considered option for babies experiencing cradle cap, while keeping the formulation relatively simple. I was pleased to see the brand’s long-term commitment to reducing waste through upcycling ingredients, improving renewable energy use and supporting organisations that care for parents and families. Their B Corp certification and ongoing efforts to improve their environmental impact show a commitment to continually doing better.
I like how easy the product is to use. It was actually recommended to me by a midwife at the hospital. The foam is fantastic when you’re bathing a newborn. It’s always scary using new products on a baby so it’s good to have something safe for cradle cap especially. It’s fantastic to see a brand working with PANDA and supporting postpartum needs. I love that the product is 99% derived from natural ingredients. Knowing it is produced under the European regulations is also reassuring. There are great efforts to reduce energy consumption!
