Mustela Cream Shampoo for Curly & Frizzy Hair — Shea Butter & Avocado, 6.76 fl oz — Detangling, Nourishing for Babies & Kids

Mustela Detangling & Nourishing Cream Shampoo is a gentle, 96% natural-ingredient cream cleanser that hydrates, defines and detangles wavy to coiled hair without weighing it down.

This cream shampoo was formulated to make textured hair care simpler for babies, kids and the whole family. A rich, creamy texture transforms into a light foam that cleanses the scalp while delivering nourishment from fair-trade shea butter and sustainably sourced avocado oil. The result is softer, shinier, more manageable hair with reduced frizz and fewer knots after rinsing.

How does this shampoo clean without drying curly or coily hair?

Instead of aggressive foaming surfactants, the formula uses mild cleansing agents and a creamy base that lifts dirt and oil without stripping natural moisture. It rinses clean while leaving a protective layer of emollients to maintain softness.

• 96% natural-origin ingredients for a gentler cleanse
• Formulated without sulfated surfactants and silicones
• Light foaming action that’s easy to rinse
• Dermatologist-tested for sensitive scalps

Will it actually detangle and reduce frizz for textured hair?

The cream-to-foam texture smooths the hair cuticle and delivers slip, making combing easier and helping curls keep their shape. Shea butter and avocado oil add moisture and definition, cutting down on flyaways and frizz without leaving hair heavy.

• Shea butter locks in hydration to soften brittle strands
• Avocado oil supplies vitamins and nutrients for smoother hair
• Creates slip for easier detangling and fewer breakages
• Defines waves, curls and coils while preserving bounce

Is this safe for babies and children with sensitive scalps?

Yes—the shampoo is dermatologist-tested and designed for delicate skin. The gentle formulation avoids harsh chemicals, and the mild fragrance is subtle, making it suitable for everyday use on younger family members.

• Tested by dermatologists for use on babies and kids
• Free from sulfates and silicones that can irritate
• Light, pleasant scent that won’t overwhelm sensitive noses
• Appropriate for routine cleansing and detangling

How should I use it to get the best results?

Apply a small amount to wet hair, massage gently at the scalp to create a light foam, then work through lengths without aggressive rubbing. Rinse thoroughly and follow with your preferred leave-in or conditioner if extra moisture or styling definition is needed.

• Use a dollop for short hair, more for longer or very dense curls
• Focus massage on the scalp, then glide through strands to detangle
• Rinse fully to avoid residue that can weigh hair down
• Pair with a conditioner or leave-in for enhanced definition
