Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this on my one-week-old?

Yes, this cream is tested safe for newborns from day one. Apply a thin layer to affected areas, leave overnight, then rinse gently in the morning with warm water and a soft washcloth.

How long until I see the cradle cap clear?

Most parents see flakes soften and lift within 1 to 3 applications. For thick crusty patches, apply nightly for a week, then use as needed when new flakes appear.

Do I need to scrub my baby's scalp?

No scrubbing needed. After leaving the cream on overnight, the flakes lift away easily with just warm water and a soft baby brush or washcloth at bath time.

Will this prevent cradle cap from coming back?

Yes, the formula reduces excess sebum production on your baby's scalp, which helps prevent new crusty patches from forming after the initial flakes clear.
