The Mustela Soothing Moisturising Lotion is a lightweight, fragrance-free daily moisturiser made for newborns and children with very sensitive, reactive skin. This leave-on baby lotion is designed to deliver immediate, long-lasting hydration while helping to soothe sensations of redness, tightness and tingling — the kind of everyday discomfort that can leave delicate skin feeling reactive. If you're looking for a gentle body lotion you can reach for from birth, this is a considered option for skin that needs a little extra calm.
It belongs to Mustela's Soothing Range, the line developed specifically for very sensitive skin rather than eczema-prone skin. Two ingredients do the work here: Avocado Perseosefdroped, Mustela's patented natural ingredient that helps hydrate and support the skin's natural barrier, and Schisandra berry extract, chosen to help improve skin comfort. The formula is made with 97% ingredients of natural origin, is fragrance-free to minimise the risk of allergic reactions, and has a light, silky texture that absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue — so baby can be dressed straight after application.

How to Use
- Press the tube to dispense a small amount of lotion into your hands.
- Apply to clean, dry skin morning and evening, or as needed.
- Massage gently in circular motions until fully absorbed.
Thoughtful formulation and packaging
The lotion is clinically tested under dermatological and paediatric control, hypoallergenic, and vegan-friendly. It's free from fragrance, parabens, phthalates and alcohol, and is BPA-free. The formula is biodegradable, and the packaging is recyclable and made with reduced plastic — a small nod to Mustela's focus on sustainably sourced ingredients.
Best For
The Mustela Soothing Moisturising Lotion is a great option for parents who:
- Have a newborn or child with very sensitive, reactive skin and want a fragrance-free daily moisturiser
- Prefer a lightweight, fast-absorbing texture that doesn't leave a greasy feel
- Want a leave-on lotion that can be used from birth as part of an everyday routine
It may not be the best fit if you're caring for eczema-prone skin, which is a different skin context that Mustela addresses with a separate range — if skin is broken, infected or persistently inflamed, it's worth speaking to a healthcare professional.
Suitable for use from birth (babies out of NICU). For external use only. Everyone's skin is different, so a patch test is sensible if your little one has previously reacted to a product.
