Mustela Organic All-Purpose Balm with 3 Avocado Extracts, 75 ml

When should you use this all-purpose balm for dry areas?

Mustela Bio Universal Balm with 3 Avocado Extracts is a rich treatment designed for dry areas of the face and body. Its formula combines three extracts derived from the whole avocado—including the pulp, pit, and peel—: virgin oil, sugars, and polyphenols. Each provides a different benefit, which explains why it’s called “universal”: a single tube addresses multiple needs of dry skin.

Virgin avocado oil, which is softening and nourishing, forms the heart of the balm. Despite its richness, the formula nourishes without any sticky residue: the texture absorbs quickly and leaves the skin feeling comfortable, without any discomfort when it comes into contact with clothing. The skin is visibly repaired, soft, supple, and radiant with health.

Avocado sugars complement the oil: they are moisturizing and soothing. Polyphenols, which act as antioxidants and protectants, round out the formula’s balance. This balm thus fits perfectly alongside our nourishing body care products, offering targeted care for the areas that dry out the fastest.

It’s suitable for the whole family and can be used for a variety of purposes: a toddler’s cheeks chapped by the wind, lips and hands dried out by the cold or repeated washing, rough cuticles, elbows, and knees, as well as the neck and arms. Whether in winter or after a trip to the beach or pool, this is the tube you’ll want to keep within reach.

We recommend pairing it with Mustela Famille Organic Body & Hair Cleansing Gel. The unscented cleansing gel gently cleanses the body and hair during bath time; the balm is then applied only to the areas that still feel tight, to restore the moisture that water and washing have stripped away.

Our expert advice on this Mustela Organic balm for dry areas

For very young children, the real issue isn’t the amount of balm but the nature of the dryness. A rough cheek that softens within two or three days is a case for this treatment. If the skin doesn’t improve after a week of regular application, it’s no longer a nutritional issue: paying close attention to signs that warrant a doctor’s visit becomes the most critical step, and it’s better to show us the skin early on than to apply multiple layers.

A tube shared by the whole family won’t last long if you spread it over large areas. We recommend reserving it for areas that dry out quickly and using a body lotion for the rest of the body. It works best when applied right after bathing, on skin that’s just been dried, and a quarter of an hour before going out into the cold for children’s faces and hands.

FAQ

Why does Mustela Organic Universal Balm have a green color and an unusual scent?

The balm contains no added fragrance: its green color and plant-based scent come naturally from the avocado. These characteristics may surprise those expecting the usual scent of baby care products.

Can I use Mustela Organic Universal Balm as a day cream on my face?

Yes. It can be applied to the face like a regular moisturizer, both in the morning and at night, for children and adults alike. In the morning, apply it before makeup, once it has been fully absorbed.

Can the tube of Mustela Organic Universal Balm be punctured?

The tube is made of aluminum: it allows you to use every last bit of the balm, but it may crack if bent repeatedly in the same spot. The safest way is to roll it from the bottom as you use it, rather than squeezing it from the middle.
