## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this no longer come with plastic that covers the twist off lid?**
A: Search for Mustela Baby Gentle Cleansing Gel - Baby Hair & Body Wash - with Natural Avocado fortified with Vitamin B5 - Biodegradable Formula & Tear-Free

**Q: How much of a difference or what would be the difference between mustela foam shampoo for newborns and this one?**
A: The foam is probably easier for a newborn, bc it doesn’t lather as much and easy to rinse out. The gentle shampoo is awesome for when they are a little older and they have more (thicker) hair.

**Q: Is this item fast shipping?**
A: Yes

**Q: What are ingredients?**
A: 0% Paraben 0% Phthalate 0% Phenoxyethanol.
