The Mustela Nourishing Face Cream with Cold Cream is a rich, velvety leave-on moisturiser made for the delicate skin on a baby's face. Part of Mustela's Nourishing range for dry skin, this 40ml face cream is formulated to give dry facial skin immediate and long-lasting moisture, ease that tight, uncomfortable feeling, and help shield little cheeks against external aggressors like wind and cold weather.
A baby's face is exposed to the elements far more than the rest of the body, so it's often where dryness shows up first — especially in cold or low-humidity weather. This cream combines Cold Cream with ceramides and naturally derived ingredients such as shea butter and beeswax, along with Mustela's patented Avocado Perseose®. Made with 95% natural ingredients, it's hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested, free from parabens, phthalates and phenoxyethanol, and gentle enough for daily use from birth through to the toddler years. The smooth, rich texture absorbs quickly and leaves no greasy residue.
Key Ingredients
| Cold Cream & Beeswax |
What it does: Forms a nourishing, protective layer over the skin. Why it works: This occlusive layer helps seal in moisture and shield the face from wind and cold. |
| Shea Butter |
What it does: Softens and nourishes dry skin. Why it works: As a rich emollient, it smooths the skin and helps it feel supple and comfortable. |
| Avocado Perseose® |
What it does: A patented biomimetic active derived from avocado, designed to help reinforce the skin's natural barrier and preserve its cellular richness. Why it works: Supporting the barrier helps the skin hold on to moisture, which is useful in harsh or dry conditions. |
| Ceramides |
What it does: Help support the skin's barrier. Why it works: They work alongside the emollients and occlusives to keep skin feeling hydrated. |
| Glycerin |
What it does: Acts as a humectant. Why it works: Humectants attract and bind water, helping to keep the skin feeling moisturised. |
How to Use
- Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin on your baby's face, focusing on dry areas.
- Gently massage in circular motions until fully absorbed.
- Use twice daily, morning and evening, or as needed to keep the skin hydrated.
It suits daily use and is especially handy in dry or cold weather. Applying before heading outdoors can help protect baby's cheeks from wind and cold. Can be used right from the day your baby is born.
Best For
The Mustela Nourishing Face Cream with Cold Cream is a great option for parents who:
- Are looking for a richer, nourishing moisturiser for a baby's dry facial skin
- Want something for cold, windy or low-humidity conditions where cheeks tend to get dry
- Prefer a formula made with 95% natural ingredients that absorbs without a greasy finish
- Would like a compact tube they can apply one-handed and keep in the nappy bag
It may not be the best fit if you:
- Prefer a fragrance-free formula, as this cream is lightly scented
- Need a body lotion for larger areas rather than a face-specific cream
Good to Know
This cream is lightly scented (Parfum is listed among the ingredients). As with any new skincare product, and because tolerance is individual, it's worth patch-testing first. This is a cosmetic moisturiser for everyday care — if your baby's skin is broken, infected or persistently irritated, speak to a healthcare professional.
Pandylane Pro Tip: A quick layer over the cheeks before pram walks or outdoor play adds a protective barrier against wind and cold, which is where facial dryness often starts.
