of innovations In 1950, Paul Berthomé – father of Laboratoires Expanscience’s current CEO – joined forces with the pharmacist Claude Guillon to create the first cleansing milk for babies to be sold exclusively in pharmacies.

He called it Mustela® – the Latin word for “stoat” – the small animal whose coat goes completely white in winter. A reference to the gentleness and purity at the very heart of the product’s formula. When the first cleansing milk was developed, there was nothing quite like it on the market, and its instantly recognisable fragrance, it quickly became very popular among mothers. The Mustela® revolution was under way – and it continues to this day.

They discovered that the cause of diaper rash is an invisible and latent inflammation which is triggered by the repeated stress of urine and feces.

of dermatological expertise Mustela® researchers from Laboratoires Expanscience conducted a unique 10 year global research program to better understand the physiology of babies’ skin.

They have discovered that babies’ skin has an unsuspected wealth at birth: a reserve of stem cells that remain unique throughout life.

These cells enable the skin to regenerate and are extremely vulnerable until the age of two, the period during which the cutaneous barrier is being formed.

In order to protect this precious resource, Expanscience has designed and patented an exclusive active ingredient – Avocado Perseose®, that protects these precious cells against external stresses.

OUR LATEST DISCOVERIES ON BABIES’ SKIN FROM BIRTH ON EV.E.I.L.S, A WORLD FIRST

A WORLD FIRST: 10 YEARS OF RESEARCH TO REVOLUTIONIZE SKINCARE PRODUCTS FOR BABIES The EV.E.I.L.S (EValuation of the Early Infant Life: the Skin) program – a unique research study – has resulted in a better understanding of babies’ skin from the first days of life, so as to better address its specific requirements.

•O ur researchers have studied the physiology of babies’ skin from the cutaneous barrier down to the deepest layers of the epidermis.

10

YEARS OF RESEARCH

•F or their research, they used innovative non-invasive imaging technologies and succeeded – for the first time ever – in recreating the skin of newborn babies in a laboratory environment, providing them with the opportunity to explore it at the cellular level.

3 MAJOR DERMATOLOGICAL DISCOVERIES The cutaneous barrier is not fully developed at birth and only starts to reach maturity when the child is around two years old. A child’s skin is therefore very vulnerable to daily environmental stresses.

It is not yet able to retain the moisture it needs for its cells to function properly.

From birth, babies’ skin is richer than anyone could possibly have imagined. It contains a reserve of stem cells, which remain unique throughout life, and which are at their maximum strength at birth, making up the skin’s life force and enabling it to regenerate throughout life.

These discoveries have resulted in a whole new generation of Mustela® bébé-enfant products formulated with Avocado Perseose®, a patented natural ingredient that protects babies’ skin and supports it as it develops.

of plant-based ingredients Mustela® looks to the plant world to source the main active ingredients that make up its products. Using their expertise in plant extraction, researchers have carefully selected the avocado from among dozens of other possible plants.

After identifying rare molecules within the heart of the avocado, scientists extracted, purified and concentrated these molecules to yield a natural active ingredient: Avocado Perseose®.

AVOCADO USED IN ALL

By working in harmony with baby’s skin, Avocado Perseose® protects cellular richness from birth on and is used in all Mustela bébé-enfant formulas.

AVOCADO PERSEOSE®, A PATENTED NATURAL INGREDIENT AT THE HEART OF ALL OUR PRODUCTS BIOMIMETIC INGREDIENT Avocado Perseose® is one of a new generation of biomimetic ingredients: natural ingredients that are able to act in perfect harmony with a baby’s skin, combining high tolerance with targeted efficacy.

TARGETED ACTION ON THE CUTANEOUS BARRIER AND THE SKIN’S CELL RESERVES Avocado Perseose® is the perfect natural ally for babies’ skin because it functions like a shield to protect it from outside attacks. It actively aids the development of the cutaneous barrier, helps maintain skin hydration level while protecting the skin’s cell reserves against everyday stresses.

UNIQUE AND PATENTED EXTRACTION PROCESSES Since Avocado Perseose® is an extremely rare molecule and given that it is found in concentrations of less than 1% in fresh avocado, it was a real technological challenge to purify, preserve and concentrate it. Thanks to our expertise in plant biology, a unique and patented process has been used to extract Avocado Perseose® from the plant.

AN ACTIVE INGREDIENT SOURCED FROM A RESPONSIBLE SUPPLY CHAIN Mustela’s supply lines are sustainable, ethically managed, and supervised by the UEBT (Union for Ethical Bio Trade). The avocados that Mustela® uses are grown in compliance with good environmental practices and come with traceability guarantees.

of sensory experience Much more than a protective shield which is vital to the health of the body, skin is the source of baby’s first sensations, its first contacts with people around and its awakening to the world.

Therefore, Mustela® takes special care to ensure that the products it develops have pleasant textures and delicate fragrances.

Mustela® products are richly sensorial and enhance those tender moments between a parent and their child. Establishing a skincare routine contributes to a baby’s feelings of well-being while gently stimulating its senses.

SKIN, A SOURCE OF EMOTION MUSTELA®: A UNIQUE VISION OF SKIN As one of the body’s vital organs, skin is a protective shield and it needs to be routinely cared for starting from birth on.

It also serves as a channel through which we experience emotion. The very first way that a baby interacts with the world around him is through his skin –through touch and scent.

Since skin has a dual protective and sensory role, it is the focus of Mustela®’s research and unique expertise.

FOR A UNIQUE AND LASTING SENSORY EXPERIENCE Drawing on sophisticated sensory analysis, Mustela® goes above and beyond to develop pleasant textures and delicate fragrances.

A s a result, Mustela® products provide a sense of comfort and enjoyment while transforming every step of your baby’s skincare routine into a moment of well-being as their senses gently awaken.

in support of childhood The Mustela Foundation was created in 1982 by Paul Berthomé, chairman of Laboratoires Expanscience, “to encourage research and projects on child development and parenting all over the world”.

Working under the auspices of the Fondation de France, it has remained true to its initial intention – working for children’s well-being – whilst updating its working methods.

of commitment

THE MUSTELA FOUNDATION RESEARCH Today, as it has for 34 years, the Mustela Foundation supports research by awarding university grants to both students and experienced researchers. To date, it has supported a total of around 100 projects in the fields of psychology, sociology, psychiatry, pediatrics and, since 2012, maieutic.

IN THE FIELD The Mustela Foundation is also highly committed to work in the field, through the award of the annual Social Pediatrics Prize and the backing it offers to associations that support children.

PREVENTION Since 1986, the Mustela Foundation has also been working to promote prevention and awareness-raising in public health, by producing and distributing literature on childcare, obstetrics and pediatrics and publishing guides and, more recently, educational interactive modules on the internet developed with health professionals.

INTERNATIONAL Finally, the Mustela Foundation has expanded its field of action to other countries rather than restricting its commitments to France. First and foremost, it provides long-term support to a humanitarian partner abroad with a commitment to the mother-child relationship.

This is supplemented by local actions in countries where Laboratoires Expanscience has a subsidiary.
