While still pregnant, I spent hours researching what soap to use on our precious Baby C. A newborn's skin is very sensitive and I worry about chemicals in baby's soaps and shampoos which can cause irritation. I read about additives and preservatives like parabens and phthlates which have the potential to alter the hormone levels in the body. Mustela is one of the products I considered using because it claims that their products are hypoallergenic, paraben free,
phtalate free, phenoxyethanol free, chlorphenesin free, alcohol free and
essential oil free.
I tried Mustela Stelaprotect Cleansing Foam on Baby C. True enough, it is very gentle on Baby C's skin. A bottle lasted about 3 months.

Last June, I saw on Facebook that Mustela Philippines is celebrating Father's Day with a "Daddy and Baby Moments" giveaway where 2 winners will each win 6,000 pesos worth of Mustela baby and maternity skin care products. Doc A who is a bit shy eventually agreed to submit a picture of him and Baby C because I told him that his picture will not be posted on Facebook unless he wins. Few weeks after, Mustela Philippines announced that Doc A and Baby C won. Mustela Philippines is so generous, aside from the 2 winners, 13 consolation prizes were also given. Here is their winning entry:
His touching message about being a father:
"What do I love most about being a father? It is the inspiration and the motivation my little one brings me. Knowing that somebody depends on me and looks up to me gives me the push to work harder and to strive more to become a better person. The birth of my baby was my most unforgetable and happiest experience and being a father is the most fulfilling and meaningful aspect of my life."
For those who do not know about Mustela yet, here's a brief description from their Facebook Page:
Mustela is founded in 1950 manufactured by Laboratories Expanscience, sixth largest independent laboratory in France.
Mustela has had an impact on more than 3 generations of babies and
mothers thanks to it countless innovations in skin care and hygiene
products: new concepts, developments in formula and textures, etc.
Over the years, the brand has continually updated its products by
including new scientific advancements with the constant aim of better
fulfilling the expectations of mothers everywhere.
Priority is
given to ingredients of natural origin, Mustela is paraben free,
phtalate free, phenoxyethanol free, chlorphenesin free, alcohol free and
essential oil free.

children against the harmful effect of the sun on a long-term basis.
I was the one who claimed the prizes at Mustela's branch in Shangrila Mall, 4th level. Below are pictures of their store and the gift pack we won from the giveaway.

Now for the giveaway!
"Share your blessings!" As soon as I've found out that we won, hubby and I agreed to share some of the products we will receive from Mustela. I will be sharing with my readers the Hydrabébé Body Spray 200ml and the Specific Bust Support 200ml.
I
just found out that the Specific Bust Support will expire this
December, so I would prefer to give this to a pregnant or breastfeeding
reader or at least to somebody who will give it to a pregnant or
breastfeeding friend who can use it immediately. The Specific Bust Support costs P1,090 and I don't want to put it into waste.
2 winners will be chosen via rafflecopter on September 30, 2013. Specify by commenting below what you want to win. If you do not have a Google account, don't forget to write your Facebook name or email address so I can contact you.
