The Mustela Hydra Bebe Facial Cream is a lightweight, leave-on daily moisturiser made for the delicate skin on a baby's face. This non-greasy baby face cream is designed to deliver immediate and long-lasting hydration, absorbing quickly so it feels comfortable rather than heavy, and leaving the skin feeling soft and silky-smooth. It's formulated for normal skin and lightly scented with Mustela's signature fragrance.
What sets it apart is the blend of skin-loving ingredients behind that hydration: a patented Avocado Perseose\u00ae, nourishing Jojoba Oil and Sunflower Oil, Vitamin E, and double the amount of plant-based glycerin. Together they work to nourish the skin and help maintain its moisture levels through the day. It's made up of 97% ingredients of natural origin (per the ISO 16128 standard), and the formula is free from parabens, phthalates, silicone and phenoxyethanol.
Hydration that's been put to the test
Hydra Bebe has been tested under dermatological and paediatric control. According to Mustela, studies showed a significant increase in skin hydration one hour after application, with moisturisation sustained even after 24 hours \u2014 which is where the 24-hour hydration claim comes from. The formula has also been specially developed to minimise the risk of allergic reactions, making it a considered option for babies with sensitive facial skin.
Key Ingredients

Best For
The Mustela Hydra Bebe Facial Cream is a great option for parents who:
- Want a daily facial moisturiser for baby's normal skin
- Prefer a lightweight, non-greasy texture that absorbs quickly
- Like a formula that leans on natural-origin ingredients and skips parabens, phthalates, silicone and phenoxyethanol

Disclaimer
For external facial use. Age suitability on this product record is inconsistent \u2014 please follow the age guidance printed on your pack, and speak to a healthcare professional if baby's skin is broken, irritated or persistently inflamed.
Pandylane Pro Tip: Keep it handy for after bath time \u2014 applying a facial moisturiser once skin is clean and towel-dried is an easy way to fold hydration into your baby's evening wind-down.
