The Mustela Gentle Soap with Cold Cream is a solid cleansing bar made for babies and children with dry or temporarily dry skin. It gently lifts away dirt and residue while a nourishing blend of Cold Cream and beeswax helps maintain the skin's natural lipid barrier, so bath time cleanses without leaving little faces and bodies feeling tight or stripped. Mild enough for daily use, this baby soap bar can be used on both the face and body of newborns (once home from NICU), infants and older children.
What sets this bar apart is its focus on moisture. Ordinary washing — especially in hard water — can leave delicate skin feeling dry, so the Cold Cream and beeswax work together to preserve natural moisture as you cleanse. It's formulated with 97% natural ingredients and includes Avocado Perseose®, Mustela's signature ingredient, which is designed to reinforce the skin barrier and help protect the skin from external stressors. The result is a rich, creamy lather that leaves skin feeling clean, supple and delicately scented.

A more considered, everyday choice
Beyond the formulation, the bar is made to sit comfortably in a family routine. It comes in a solid 100g format, which reduces packaging and waste, with a biodegradable formula and recyclable carton. Supplier information notes it is hypoallergenic, free from parabens, phthalates and phenoxyethanol, and clinically tested under dermatological and paediatric control — making it a sensible option if you're looking for a straightforward daily wash for skin that leans dry or sensitive.
Best For
The Mustela Gentle Soap with Cold Cream is a great option for parents who:
- Have a baby or child with dry or temporarily dry skin
- Want one gentle bar for both face and body, suitable for daily use
- Prefer a solid, lower-waste format over a bottled wash
It may not be the best fit if you:
- Are looking for a completely fragrance-free wash, as this bar carries Mustela's delicate signature scent
Please note: This is a cosmetic cleanser intended for everyday care. If your child's skin is broken, infected or persistently inflamed, it's best to check in with a healthcare professional.
