In 1950, the very first Mustela product was created. At this time mothers were searching for a product designed specifically to cleanse the delicate skin of their newborn babies without the harsh drying effects of ordinary soaps used at the time. By combining gentle cleansing ingredients with moisturizing sweet almond oil, Mustela revolutionized the daily bath routine, by creating one easy to use product, Mustela Cleansing Lotion for Babies. More recently, Mustela has expanded its knowledge of skin care to provide products for mothers-to-be.
