The Mustela 2-in-1 Cleansing Gel is a soap-free baby wash and shampoo in one, designed to cleanse your baby's body and hair in a single step. It's a gentle, tear-free cleanser formulated for the delicate skin of babies and children, and it's suitable for daily use from birth — including newborns out of the NICU. If you're looking to simplify bath time with one bottle instead of a separate body wash and shampoo, this is the kind of everyday cleanser that does both.
It belongs to Mustela's everyday Gentle Range and is enriched with Avocado Perseose®, a patented natural ingredient developed to help protect and hydrate delicate skin. The mild surfactant base lifts away everyday dirt and residue while working to preserve the skin's hydrolipidic film, so it cleanses without stripping the natural oils in skin and scalp. Skin is left feeling soft, smooth and residue-free, with a subtle, signature Mustela fragrance.
What makes it suited to baby skin and hair
This is a soap-free, hypoallergenic formula that has been tested under dermatological and paediatric control, and specially formulated to minimise the risk of allergic reactions. It's tear-free and gentle on eyes, which takes some of the stress out of washing a wriggly baby's hair. It's also free from parabens, phthalates and phenoxyethanol, and the plant-based formula is biodegradable and vegan — a consideration for parents who weigh up what goes on their baby's skin and down the drain.

Best For
The Mustela 2-in-1 Cleansing Gel is a great option for parents who:
- Want a single product that washes both body and hair to keep bath time simple
- Prefer a soap-free, tear-free cleanser for daily use from birth
- Are looking for a gentle formula for babies' and children's delicate skin
- Like the practicality of a flip-top tube that can be used one-handed during bath time
Pandylane Pro Tip: A little goes a long way — a small amount lathers and rinses off easily, so start with less than you think you need and top up only if you have to. This also helps the 200ml tube last longer.
