Who are we?
Our story at Mustela starts in 1950, with the creation of the first
cleansing milk for babies’ skin by Expanscience Laboratories. 70 years
later, this French family business run by Jean-Paul Berthomé, the
founder’s son, still has the same ambition: to offer innovative, safe,
effective and natural skincare products.
Our expertise
Our Research and Development teams are recognized internationally for
their dual expertise: the physiology of babies’ and children’s skin;
and their proficiency in plant extraction and active ingredients
development.
At the heart of the formulas
We always prioritize the use of carefully sourced natural ingredients as
long as they meet our requirements in terms of quality, performance,
and satisfaction of use. Before they reach you, Mustela products undergo
over 450 tests – and pass them successfully!
A responsible and committed approach
We believe in taking care of our children and the world we live in… And
caring for the skin of our little ones also means that we should care
for the environment they live in. Which is why we continuously strive to
minimize the impact of our products on people and our environment.
Labels and certifications
Committed to a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) approach for over
15 years, we assess our actions on a regular basis. Mustela is the 1st dermo-cosmetic brand whose positive impact on society and the environment has been recognized by the B Corp label since 2018.
French roots
As a family-owned business, we control our entire value chain, from
research to marketing. 95% of our products are produced in a single
production site in the Eure-et-Loir region (France) - ensuring safety
and quality.
The Mustela Foundation
Placed under the auspices of “La Fondation de France” since its
inception, the mission of our Mustela is “to encourage research work and
projects on child development and parenthood, all over the world”.
