Just like parents, Mustela as a brand also has a responsibility to ensure a sustainable future for our children.
We have been actively striving to reduce the effects of our products on people and the environment and since 1950, we have committed ourselves to empowering parents throughout their parenting journey.
Today, our projects are equally ambitious!
In December 2019, during the UN Climate Change Conference, together with 500 other B Corp certified companies, we committed to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030 – twenty years ahead of the 2050 date set by the Paris Agreement.
This means that we will transform our sourcing and manufacturing processes to be even closer to our customers and will function with a circular approach to the life of our products and their packaging.
By sourcing from responsible plant growers* our objective is to enhance the traceability of our plant-based active ingredients.
Ever since we started, we've always chosen the best plant ingredients, preferably organic, while ensuring the safety of our products with a strict formulation charter.
We process avocados that would normally go to waste to create cosmetic active ingredients for our products. The entire avocado (including the pit) is transformed into oil and powder from which we obtain our avocado Perseose® that can be found in our products.
We use specific technologies that respect people and our planet: molecular distillation (an environmentally friendly process that separates and concentrates premium oil components) and biotechnologies such as enzymatic engineering, a substitute for chemical substances.
Since 2018, we have reduced our electricity consumption by 17.1%, gas by 23.1% and water by 20.8% for every 100 units produced.
Since 2018, we have purchased 100% green electricity from renewable energy sources (wind, water, etc.) for our production site in France. For 100% of the electricity used by our Expanscience production site, 100% of French renewable electricity is introduced into the network.
Our products are eco-designed throughout their lifecycle. Our bottles and cardboard boxes are recyclable, the weight of our packaging has been minimised and instructions have been removed. Where we do use cardboard boxes, they are made from sustainably sourced paperboard and printed with vegetable oil-based inks.
We are currently experimenting with bulk sales, i.e. the sale of non-pre-packaged products. The idea is to take the eco-design of our products one step further, especially our packaging, which is being reduced.
Bulk, a green distribution method, is part of a circular economy approach and offers an alternative to plastic bottles.
The GEODIS warehouse is located less than 800 meters from our factory (ISO140001 certified - an environmental management standard).

In 2018, our efforts and commitments were rewarded with the B Corp certification. Recognised worldwide, this pioneering label is awarded to companies and brands whose insight is to be “the best FOR the world” as opposed to “the best in the world”. This label requires that we have an activist vision of our impact on the world.
B Corp is a highly demanding, pioneering international label awarded to brands that demonstrate a triple economic, social and environmental performance and that develop their business with a positive impact on society and the environment.
B Corp also represents a community of more than 2,800 companies around the world who share the same humanistic vision of economy and who place general interest in the heart of their business model, thereby combining economic, social and environmental performances.
