Mustela Stelatopia Emollient Cream

Mustela has a children's skincare line called Stelatopia that targets eczema-prone skin. The collection includes about half a dozen products so to start with I picked up only one 200mL/6.76fl. oz. tube each of the Emollient Cream and Emollient Balm (a richer, thicker version for use in the winter), and a 200mL/6.76 tube of Cleansing Cream which seemed to have been discontinued as I don't see it on their website anymore. 

Anyway, we just used up a tube of Emollient Cream on our 4yr-old recently and I immediately stocked up several more tubes of both the Cream and the Balm, so that should tell you how much we like this stuff.


Important detail first: this whole line is unscented. 
 
I find it exasperating that unscented products mostly target sensitive or eczema-prone skin, as if "normal" skin automatically means OK-with-perfumy-skincare. It's especially frustrating when you realize they apply this ill logic to children's skincare as well. What about folks who have "normal" skin but are otherwise sensitive to fragrances?  

Anyway, this is a nice cream that we used all over our little guy, face and body, and for past few summer months while the tube lasted it kept him flakes-free despite daily sunscreen application. Very much looking forward to try the Balm version next!
