The Bottom Line

While expensive, it does the trick when so many others of equal expense do not. It is also great for the mother-to-be who has sensitive skin.

Guide Review - Stelatopia Moisturizing Cream from Mustela
Stelatopia Moisturizing Cream from Mustela is designed to be used on skin that is eczema prone. The hypoallergenic design means that even the most sensitive skin should be safe with this cream. Practically what that means is that my kids don't break out when this touches their skin.
The natural ingredients are also emphasized so that you have natural coloring and a lack of some of the very harsh or heavy ingredients found in other creams and lotions. I only used this once a day, which was enough to keep my child's skin from being itchy and irritated, though you can use it more frequently if needed.
I enjoyed the fact that I could do baby massage and not walk away with a greasy baby. The cream was thick enough that it went on easily and absorbed quickly into her skin. My toddler now uses it for her dry skin around her waist in the cold weather.
She loves to say the name too!
This makes a great gift for a new mom and baby, particularly if they are concerned about what they are putting on their baby's skin. This is a product you can use without concern.
