Mustela Stelatopia Emollient Balm

When Mustela Nourishing Lotion with Cold Cream not quite working out for this cold and dry weather, we moved on to this 200mL/6.76fl. oz. tube of Stelatopia Emollient Balm. We used a couple of tubes of the lighter Cream version before and loved it, I was looking forward to trying this thicker and richer Balm version for my boys.

I wouldn't call this Stelatopia a balm, more like a thick cream. It's moisturizing, although with my 4.5-year old it's still not quite enough. He still gets rough patches and flakes on his legs and it's very frustrating, so in the end we decided to move on to Dove Baby Eczema Care Soothing Cream (will post next) with him.

With my 1.5-year old, this Stelatopia Emollient Balm is working out ok for the most part. I say for the most part because he does get round and red marble-size patches of eczema on his wrists and behind his knees, which require a hydrocortisone cream. So the Stelatopia balm is ok everywhere else except for those patches. Thankfully, he doesn't get rough patches and flakes on his arms or legs like his big brother.
