The Mustela Cicastela Repair Cream is a multi-purpose moisture recovery cream that soothes and hydrates delicate skin while helping to support its natural moisture barrier. It's made to give comforting relief to minor scratches, scrapes, dry patches and rough or chapped areas — the everyday skin discomforts that come with frequent wiping, drool or exposure to wind and cold. Lightweight and non-greasy, it absorbs quickly and leaves a breathable protective layer without any stickiness.
Formulated with 92% ingredients of natural origin (per the ISO 16128 standard), it pairs Mustela's patented Avocado Perseose® with plant-derived hyaluronic acid to nourish skin and help maintain a healthy moisture barrier. It's fragrance-free and made to be gentle on the most sensitive skin, so it can be used from birth onwards — including on newborns — and across the whole family. If you've been reaching for something to keep dry, sensitive or eczema-prone skin more comfortable day to day, this is a repair cream worth knowing about.
What makes it different
Cicastela is designed as a do-it-all cream rather than a single-use barrier product. It's suited to dry patches, rough areas, dryness from frequent wiping or drool, and eczema-prone skin that tends to become dry or sensitive. The formula is vegan, tested under dermatological and paediatric control, and free from parabens, phthalates, phenoxyethanol and 1,700+ EU-banned ingredients. It's also specially formulated to minimise the risk of allergic reactions. A precision nozzle makes it easy to apply exactly where it's needed, and the outer packaging is eco-designed using cardboard from sustainably managed forests and vegetable oil-based inks.
