If this item is in stock, it’s processed within 2 hours, often much quicker.

If this item needs to come in from our supplier, it usually takes 3-5 days for us to receive it. As soon as it arrives, we’ll pack your order and prep it for delivery.

Other Ways To Get Your Order

We’re flexible, and want to make sure you get your order in a way that works for you.

  • Locker Delivery with PUDO or Bob Box
  • Pargo and PostNet available on request.

More About Timelines

Timelines are estimates, based on our averages and couriers’ commitments. We always aim to get your order to you quicker than this — but they’re not a guarantee. Wherever your order is in the journey, we’ll keep you updated every step of the way.

Returns Made Easy

Unfortunately, we can’t accept returns on this product once it’s been opened. This is usually because:

  • It’s a hygiene or sanitary product
  • It’s single-use
  • It’s a final sale or clearance item

If there’s a defect or fault, though, it’s always covered as a warranty claim.

If the item is still unopened, you can return it within 30 days of receiving it. Just request a return from your account or through our chat, and we’ll handle the rest.

Returns are always free within 7 days. After that, if you’re returning it because you’ve changed your mind, you may need to cover the return cost. You can send it back yourself, or we can arrange a courier and give you an upfront quote — direct from the courier. If your return is for any other reason, it’s free.

Warranty

Warranty Period: 6 Months Limited Warranty

This product’s warranty is provided by the manufacturer/distributor. As an authorised retailer, any purchase from us qualifies for the full manufacturer’s warranty — no exceptions.

Warranty claims are handled directly by the manufacturer or distributor, so we’ll refer you to the right team to get your claim underway. That said, we don’t just hand you off and disappear — we stay involved and follow up from our side to help make sure your claim is resolved promptly.

For most claims, all you’ll need is proof of purchase.

Goes great with ...
  • Two-in-one wash: Cleanses baby's body and hair in a single, simple step, making bath time quicker and easier.
  • Suitable from birth: Formulated for newborns' and children's delicate skin, including babies out of the NICU.
  • Enriched with Avocado Perseose®: This patented ingredient hydrates and nourishes, and is designed to help protect and strengthen the skin barrier.
  • Kind to natural oils: Mild surfactants clean gently without stripping skin and scalp of their natural oils.
  • 93% natural origin: Made with 93% ingredients of natural origin per the ISO 16128 standard.
  • Gentle on eyes: Developed to be gentle on the eyes, helping keep bath time calm.
  • Thoughtfully made: Vegan, tested under dermatological and paediatric control, and free from parabens, phthalates and phenoxyethanol.
  • Lightly scented: Leaves skin and hair with Mustela's signature light, fresh fragrance.

The Mustela Gentle Cleansing Gel is a rinse-off baby wash and shampoo in one, formulated to cleanse your baby's delicate skin and hair in a single, simple step. Suitable from birth, this gentle cleansing gel works up into a soft lather, lifts away the day's spit-up, drool and grime, and rinses off easily — leaving skin and hair feeling soft and lightly scented with Mustela's signature fragrance.

It belongs to Mustela's Gentle Range, the brand's everyday pathway for normal baby skin. The formula is crafted with 93% ingredients of natural origin (per the ISO 16128 standard) and enriched with Avocado Perseose®, a patented ingredient designed to help protect and strengthen the skin barrier. Its mild surfactants cleanse without stripping the skin and scalp of their natural oils, and the pump dispenser makes it easy to work one-handed while you keep your other hand on baby.

How it works

  • Avocado Perseose®: A patented ingredient derived from avocado, designed to help protect and strengthen the skin barrier while hydrating and nourishing delicate skin.
  • Mild surfactants: These lift away dirt and impurities gently, so skin and hair are cleaned without their natural oils being stripped.
  • Gentle on eyes: The formula is developed to be gentle on the eyes, which helps keep bath time calm and fuss-free.

Key ingredients

Avocado Perseose® What it does: Hydrates and nourishes delicate skin.
Why it works: This patented ingredient, derived from sustainably sourced avocados, is designed to help protect and strengthen the skin barrier and lock in moisture.
Mild surfactants What it does: Cleanse skin and scalp gently.
Why it works: They remove impurities while helping to preserve the skin's natural oils and balance.

How to use

  1. Pour a small amount of cleansing gel into your hand and work it into a lather.
  2. Gently wash your baby's body and scalp.
  3. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water.
  4. Pat your baby dry gently (without rubbing), taking particular care of the nappy area and skin folds — thighs, armpits, neck and so on.

A considered formulation

The gel is vegan, tested under dermatological and paediatric control, and specially formulated to minimise the risk of allergic reactions. It is free from parabens, phthalates, phenoxyethanol and 1,700+ EU-banned ingredients, and is made in France. It's delicately fragranced with Mustela's iconic scent, so it leaves a light, fresh finish rather than being fragrance-free.

Best for

The Mustela Gentle Cleansing Gel is a great option for parents who:

  • Want a single body-and-hair wash to simplify bath time from newborn stage onwards
  • Prefer a gentle, everyday cleanser that doesn't strip baby's natural oils
  • Like the convenience of a one-handed pump dispenser during bath routines

It may not be the best fit if you:

  • Are specifically looking for a completely fragrance-free wash

Pandylane Pro Tip: Newborns don't need bathing every day — two or three baths a week is often enough to keep delicate skin from drying out, with a quick wipe-down in between. Pair the Gentle Cleansing Gel with Mustela's Hydra Bébé body lotion after the bath for Mustela's most-loved daily skincare routine.
