Mustela Gentle Baby Shampoo 2-Pack — 95% Natural, Newborn-Safe Detangling Cleanser

Mustela Gentle Shampoo with Natural Avocado Perseose is a mild, 95% natural-ingredient shampoo that gently cleanses, detangles, and softens babies' and children's delicate hair while respecting sensitive scalps.

Created by Mustela — a trusted baby skincare brand with over 70 years of expertise — this shampoo is formulated for the unique needs of newborns, infants, and toddlers. It removes dirt and tangles without stripping natural oils, leaving hair shiny, manageable, and lightly scented. The formula includes Perseose of Avocado, a plant-based ingredient developed to help protect and maintain the skin’s natural barrier, and it’s gentle enough for daily use on sensitive skin.

How gentle is this shampoo on newborn and sensitive scalps?

The shampoo is designed to be non-irritating and non-drying, suitable for the fragile scalps of newborns and children. It rinses away easily and protects hair’s natural moisture balance, minimizing the risk of dryness or tightness.

What ingredients should parents know about?

How should I use this shampoo for best results?

Use a small amount on wet hair, lather gently, and rinse thoroughly to avoid residue. For newborns, apply with your hand or a soft cloth; for older children, let them enjoy the light foam and mild scent.

• Wet hair and scalp first with lukewarm water
• Apply a pea- to coin-sized amount depending on hair length
• Massage gently, then rinse fully to prevent buildup
• Follow with a light towel-dry and comb while damp for easier detangling
