The Mustela Nourishing Cleansing Gel with Cold Cream is a gentle hair and body cleanser for babies and children with dry skin. Its rich, creamy gel lathers softly to lift away dirt and residue without stripping the skin's natural oils, so bath time helps keep skin feeling soft, hydrated and supple rather than tight or rough afterwards. It's a two-in-one wash for both body and hair, which keeps the routine simple.
This cleanser sits within Mustela's Nourishing Range, the brand's pathway for dry skin, built around Cold Cream, ceramides and Avocado Perseose®. It's suitable from birth on, and has been tested under dermatological and paediatric control. The formula is tear-free and free from parabens, phthalates and phenoxyethanol, and it's been formulated to minimise the risk of allergic reactions.
Why it suits dry skin
Dry, tight or rough-feeling skin needs a wash that cleanses without drying further. The creamy texture cleanses gently while beeswax and Cold Cream help form a comforting layer on the skin, and ceramides plus Avocado Perseose® work to support the skin's natural moisture barrier. The result is a cleanser you can reach for daily, even on delicate newborn skin.

- Have a baby or child with dry, tight or rough-feeling skin
- Want one product that cleanses both body and hair
