Review: Mustela Dermo-cleansing Soap-free cleansing gel Hair and Body Wash

Hi all :)

So recently, My baby Ibrahim ran out of his bath gel and luckily I was in Lahore as well for my thesis, I went on to get a new bath product that I had been eyeing for sometime. Having heard a lot of good things about Mustela products, I had to try it out for Ibrahim.

Mustela Dermo-cleansing Soap-free cleansing gel Hair and Body Wash

On their website, they have mentioned that this product "Cleanses and protects from birth on.
Protects the vital resources in baby's skin today and for tomorrow and Includes babies newly-discharged from neonatal care." and "Specially formulated for use right from day one,* Mustela Bébé Dermo-Cleansing gel is ideal for your baby’s daily hygiene:

• Gently cleanses your baby's skin and hair thoroughly yet delicately.  
• Respects delicate skins and scalp with its soap-free formula.
• Compensates for the harsh, drying effects of hard water with its emollient  agents. Leaves the skin soothed and hydrated.
• Ultra-gentle formula does not sting the eyes.
• Thanks to its new formula enriched with Avocado Perseose®, a patented ingredient of natural origin, Dermo- Cleansing reinforces the skin barrier and preserves the cellular resource."

Lets see how it has worked for me and Ibrahim.

Mustela Dermo-cleansing Soap-free cleansing gel Hair and Body Wash Bottle

The product comes in a sturdy bottle packaging having 500 ml of the product. It has a pump dispenser with an attached green plastic lock to avoid accidental spill and to avoid air contact. The pump itself turns and locks which is an added advantage (as I have lost that green plastic lock already). The gel inside is pearly white in color with a slight pleasant fragrance.

I used it to give a complete top-to-toe bath to my boy. Upon application to the skin it felt creamy and smooth. It made a rich lather to the skin and even in the hair, it made a good foamy lather just like a shampoo would. Washing it away was also easy and it did not leave any sticky creamy feeling to my baby's skin. However, this product would not make any bubbles in the bath, so if you or your baby likes a good foamy bubble bath, this product won't do it for you. Once opened, the product will last for six months before expiry.

What I love about this product is that it is eco-friendly and biodegradable. It has natural products and lightly cleanses the skin. My baby Ibrahim enjoyed the bath time very much.

Mustela Dermo-cleansing Soap-free cleansing gel Hair and Body Wash is priced at Rs 1275/- PKR and available at Babyshop outlets in Lahore. I bought it from the Babyshop outlet in Emporium Mall, Lahore.

• Soft on baby skin with a light fragrance
• Sturdy, hygienic bottle
• Can be used from baby's day one

Cons:

• Some parents might find it pricier than the other products available in the market
• Expires in six months
