The truth is, no child comes with a manual and if you have a newborn on your hands, you may find yourself wondering where do you start with baby care? “How do I look after my child’s delicate skin? Why does my little one have another rash? Am I using safe products on my child?” Thankfully, Mustela has taken the guesswork out of baby skincare with their Very Sensitive Skin range that can be safely used on your bubs from birth!
Hailing from France, Mustela’s steadfast commitment to standing by parents and their children for over 70 years has been demonstrated through their neonatal dermatology expertise. Their mission? To create natural solutions to some of the most dominant skincare issues plaguing your child from the moment they are born till they turn the age of 3.
HAPPY CHILDREN EQUALS HAPPY PARENTS
Due to their delicate skin, babies and children are prone to developing skin problems during the first few years of their lives. These skin conditions, such as eczema, diaper rash and heat rash, can leave your child with dry, itchy, irritated skin and cause mild to severe discomfort, significantly impacting your child’s confidence and overall lifestyle. The good news is, with a proper skin care routine, this can be prevented with the right care, leaving your baby happy and fuss-free!
Babies and children can’t handle fragrances, dyes, and preservatives, therefore, dermatologists recommend a less is more approach. Free from fragrances, steroids, parabens, phthalates, and phenoxyethanols, Mustela’s Very Sensitive Skin range moisturises, soothes and protects your child’s skin while minimising signs of skin reaction. The nourishing formula features Avocado Perseose, a patented natural ingredient designed to protect, reinforce, and hydrate your child’s delicate skin barrier, and Schizandra, a berry extract that soothes while working to improve the skin’s appearance.

Here are some story angles for your consideration:
- “Baby-soft skin” has a reputation for looking perfect and flawless, so it surprises some new parents to find out baby-soft skin is a bit of a myth. Did you know children’s skin is about 30% thinner than that of adults, making it more sensitive and reactive to common allergens? Skin blemishes are actually fairly common in the first few years of life! It is important to take proper care of your baby’s oh-so-kissable skin to prevent further development of skin problems in the long term.
- In Malaysia’s hot and humid weather, managing your child’s skin can be a difficult affair. Young children are prone to heat rashes especially on sweaty days because they have smaller pores than adults, and when a child sweats too much, their pores clog up. Keeping their skin hydrated from the outside as a preventive measure is important as the heat can be harsh on delicate skin, especially for children with dry and eczema prone skin.
- Young children can develop common skin conditions such as eczema or contact dermatitis during the first years of their lives. But not to worry–most of these skin conditions are harmless and do not last till adulthood, provided that your child has a consistent skin care routine to prevent further development of skin problems during the interim.
