Mustela Gentle Cleansing Gel baby wash & shampoo 16.9 fl oz — tear-free, hypoallergenic, avocado Perseose

Mustela Gentle Cleansing Gel is a tear-free, plant-forward baby wash and shampoo formulated to cleanse, soothe, and help retain moisture on newborn and infant skin and hair.

This lightweight gel from Mustela combines mild surfactants with 93% ingredients of natural origin, including the brand's patented Avocado Perseose, to gently remove dirt and soothe delicate skin and scalp without over-drying. Designed for daily use, the biodegradable formula is hypoallergenic, tested under pediatric and dermatological control, and free from parabens, phthalates, and phenoxyethanol. It lathers softly, rinses clean, and aims to reduce the chance of irritation while supporting the skin’s natural barrier.

How does this baby wash clean without stripping natural oils?

The gel uses gentle, low-irritation surfactants that lift away impurities while maintaining the skin’s protective lipids. Panthenol (Vitamin B5) and humectant ingredients help preserve hydration during and after bathing so skin doesn’t feel tight.

• Mild surfactant blend that produces a soft, rinseable lather
• Glycerin and panthenol to support moisture retention
• Formulated to reduce risk of drying compared with harsher soaps

Is this safe for newborns and sensitive skin?

Yes — the formula is developed to minimize allergenic potential and has been clinically evaluated by pediatricians and dermatologists. Its composition avoids common concerning preservatives and irritants while focusing on soothing, naturally derived components.

• Hypoallergenic formulation and pediatric/dermatological testing
• Free from parabens, phthalates, and phenoxyethanol
• Light, baby-safe fragrance and patch-test recommendation

What does Avocado Perseose do in this cleanser?

Avocado Perseose is a patented plant-derived active ingredient included to help preserve skin’s hydration and support its barrier function. In a rinse-off product like this gel, it contributes to softer-feeling skin after bathing and helps limit moisture loss between baths.

• Plant-sourced avocado extract to support skin resilience
• Works alongside glycerin and panthenol for hydration
• Part of the 93% natural-origin ingredient profile

How should I use this cleansing gel for best results?

Dispense a small amount into your hand, lather gently over baby’s body and scalp, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Pat skin dry with a soft towel and follow with your preferred baby moisturizer if desired.

• Suitable for daily bathing and scalp cleansing
• Start with a small pump to control lather and rinsing time
• Always dry carefully and perform a patch test on first use
