A committed, independent French family brand, since 1950.
It all began in 1950, when Paul Berthomé teamed up with pharmacist Claude Guillon to create the very first baby cleansing milk. Not only did they create a technical innovation, they also created a new way to free up parents' time.
70 years and many millions of soft-skinned babies later, our ambition is still the same: to help parents and make their lives easier with our natural cosmetics brands.

Our production site, since 1957.
Since 1957, 95% of our products have been manufactured at our Epernon site in Eur-et-Loire, France.
Since 1957, we have ensured that we control our value chain from A to Z: from research to production and marketing. The aim of our strategy is to better control the safety and quality of our products.
An independent family business
Mustela is still a family business: it belongs to the family of Paul Berthomé, the founder of Laboratoires Expanscience. His son, Jean-Paul, now heads the company.
Why remain independent?
This strategy is simply to ensure that the company's value chain is controlled from A to Z: from research to marketing - which, of course, includes product quality and safety control. Our independence also ensures that we always adopt a continuous improvement approach towards a neutral - and ultimately positive - impact on our environment and the world. Our credo is simple: try to do better every day.
