    Miss the previous scent but still love this brand

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My first bottles were purchased in 2024 and they smelled way lighter and fresher than bottles purchased in 2026. The new scent is quite overwhelming but I try to dilute it in the bath.

    I love Mustela!

    I have been using Mustela brand for 3 years now on my now almost 3 year old and it has been my favorite shampoo/body wash among a few others that I have also tried. Doesn’t irritate her sensitive skin, the fragrance is minimal, clean ingredients, the bottle lasts me a very long time and I trust using it on a newborn. I am about to have my 2nd baby and just purchased again to use on her. Highly recommend this brand over others! Also, very affordable!

    use to like it, smell is very different now
    From Mustela USA team
    Hi Stephanie! Thank you for reaching out! As the new regulations relating to perfumes contained in cosmetic products has evolved, our perfumes in our baby products have slightly evolved while maintaining its iconic olfactory identity. Our partner perfumers have worked in such a way that the new fragrances developed come as close as possible to the iconic smell of Mustela fragrances, with a reduced olfactory palette due to the new regulation. Furthermore, all the necessary tests have been carried out to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the product.
