Mustela Soothing Chest Rub 40mL
Mustela Soothing Chest Rub 40mL is a gentle, plant-based balm designed to comfort and relax babies and young children during times of discomfort, especially at bedtime. Formulated with naturally derived ingredients, this soothing chest rub provides a calming sensation through soft massage, helping little ones unwind and settle. Its smooth, non-greasy texture glides easily over delicate skin while releasing a mild, pleasant aroma suitable from birth onwards.
Enriched with moisture-boosting and skin-protective botanicals, the balm helps maintain the skin barrier while offering a nurturing, relaxing experience. The formula contains notes of pine, rosemary, and chamomile, traditionally used to support comfort and relaxation. Mustela’s patented Avocado Perseose™ helps strengthen and preserve the skin’s natural barrier, ensuring the product remains gentle for even the most sensitive baby skin.
Dermatologically tested, hypoallergenic, and free from menthol, camphor, and strong essential oils, Mustela Soothing Chest Rub is safe for daily use and especially suitable during the cooler months when babies may need extra soothing.
