Easy

I love being able to use this one-handed. It's convenient not to have to work it into a lather. And the smell is pleasant but not too strong. I got it in a gift set and I'm reordering it when we run out, which probably won't be soon - we've used it every night for 3 months and were only about halfway through the bottle!

Cradle Cap has met its match!

Quick Take: non-sticky, scented
After trying every home remedy and a dandruff shampoo, my pediatrician suggested we give this a whirl. Huge difference after one wash and left a very pleasant fragrance. Highly recommend this product!

Wow! Hidden Secret!?
-03.21.13
Quick Take: soothing, amazing!, fresh smelling, perfect!
My question is ~ why isn't this flying off the shelves? My son is 14 weeks old today and while waiting for his belly button to fall off, I noticed flakes starting on his front hairline and eyebrows. Once we started regular bathing, when his head was wet I could see the film of flakes and dead skin, then the yellow flakes were noticable even when his head was dry. Nothing removed this. Here I was researching "cradle cap". All I read was that nothing helped, let it take it's course, and use Olive Oil. I was not about to pour OO on my son's head. LOL. I was shopping on Sephora for myself and for a face cream for baby. I found Mustela's baby face cream (which is AMAZING!) and it lead me to this. I thought it couldn't be true, but I decided to give it a whirl. 4 Shampoos later my baby's scalp is PERFECT! Not a flake! I soap up his head, let it sit a minute or so, rub his scalp with a soft wash rag, give it another minute and rinse. I was amazed with each shampoo the flakes were less and less...then gone! Why do all of the baby articles make it seem as if we have to live with cradle cap when this exists? It smells SOOOOO good! My baby is fair and we had no allergic reaction at all. I have found his permanent baby shampoo! Thanks, Mustela, for this amazing product! Love, a HairStylist Mama :)

Quick Take: non-sticky, scented, doesn't clean up oil residue very well
I'm not sure if it's the shampoo that cleared my baby's cradle cap or the fact that it was starting to go away on its own by the time I received it. Shipping is way too long. Won't be ordering again from Sephora.

Quick Take: irritating
Well it took my 3 month old daughter 10 minutes to stop screaming after i used it so I threw it away. It left these weird waxy patches all over her head and turned bright red. The 2-in-1 is nice though. I used that to wash this one off of her with.

As promised!

By the 2nd use, baby's cradle cap was gone! Woo hoo. You need to leave the product in for 1-2 minutes. So I recommend starting off the bath with the shampoo to let it work its magic. The moisturizing facial cream was a bust but this product was a success.

Amazing!
-04.16.12
Quick Take: non-sticky
As a newborn, my daughter had terrible cradle cap for months. I tried every common baby shampoo out there with no results. Within a week of using mustella baby shampoo, her cradlecap totally disappeared. It also smells wonderful, and the first bottle has lasted me over a year even though my daughter has thick hair that is past her shoulders now. It's honestly the best money I've ever spent on shampoo!

Nothing works better....
-12.27.11
Quick Take: non-sticky, soothing, fast acting, pleasantly scented
This stuff works awesome to get rid of cradle cap. My son's went away with 2-3 washes...not kidding!! Plus, It smells soooo good, and cleanses well, that I just kept using it after that til it was gone. It even helped with my daughters scalp condition, and she was 2. However I would only use this product to massage her scalp. It isnt enough to wash a lot of hair. I'd say this is only suffice for newborns, infants, which is what it's made for. I highly recommend this product!!

I LOVE this product.! It has kept my four month old daughters hair and scalp very healthy. This shampoo seems to last forever, is so easy to use and rinse out.
I was using another popular brand of shampoo before this and it severly dried her scalp out.

My son had the worst cradle cap and dry skin, for which I had tried everything. This was a last resort when I found it. It smells great and is easy to work with. It helped to restore some moisture to his scalp and reduced the amount of flakiness he had. I would recommend it to everyone!

Quick Take: scented
I used Mustela foam shampoo on my baby for the first 9 months. Once I ran out, I switched to a regular baby shampoo. Big mistake. My baby got cradle cap shortly after so I went back to Mustela foam shampoo. Cradle cap hasn't returned.

Quick Take: gentle
we used this product in europe a few years ago, and since then haven't found it anywhere. since then, my now 3 year old disliked washing his hair, it was always such a production. since finding Mustela again - what a difference! he loves it. the shampoo is light, beautifully cleans hair with just a little amount, and rinses off so easily. it's fantastic!
