Mustela Baby Oil is a lightweight, fast-absorbing baby massage oil made with 99% naturally derived plant oils, formulated for delicate skin from birth. It hydrates and soothes as it blends effortlessly into the skin, making it a good fit whether you're looking for a daily moisturiser or an oil to build a calming massage routine around.
Non-greasy and lightly scented with Mustela's signature fragrance, it's designed to be warmed between your hands and massaged in gently, turning skincare into a moment of bonding. It absorbs without leaving a slippery residue, so it doubles as a nourishing after-bath oil and a glide for hands-on massage. With a short, minimal ingredient list, it suits dry, sensitive or irritation-prone skin, and is specially formulated to minimise the risk of allergic reactions.

How to Use
- Rub the baby oil between your hands to warm it to body temperature.
- Massage it gently into your baby's clean skin, avoiding contact with the eyes.
Use it after a bath or before bedtime to help seal in moisture. Beyond a full massage, it's a versatile oil you can reach for in a few different ways:
After-bath massage
Warm the oil between your hands and gently massage into your baby's skin once they're out of the tub, sealing in moisture while skin is still soft.
Preventing chafing
Before putting on a nappy, apply a light layer to help keep skin from chafing.
Cuticle care
Massage a little oil into cuticles to keep them hydrated and help prevent cracking.

The Mustela Baby Oil is a great option for parents who:
- Want a lightweight, non-greasy oil for daily moisturising or a bonding massage routine

Disclaimer
Safe from birth on. As with any skincare product, it's best to do a patch test first: apply a tiny amount to a small area of your baby's skin, wait 24 hours, and check for any redness or irritation before wider use. Avoid contact with the eyes. If your baby's skin is broken, infected or persistently inflamed, speak to a healthcare professional before use.
Pandylane Pro Tip: For added daily hydration, pair the Baby Oil with Mustela's Hydra Bébé body lotion as part of your after-bath routine.
