Specially formulated to remove crusty scales
What is Cradle Cap?
Cradle cap is a very common skin condition found in perfectly healthy babies. Cradle cap is created when a newborn’s oil-producing glands become over-active due to hormonal changes. This results in dry, crusty patches on the scalp called “cradle cap.”
Symptoms
Cradle cap can range from a mild case that looks like dandruff to thick, yellow, crusty patches on the scalp, around the ear, or the eyebrows.
Treatment
Cradle cap should be treated as gently and naturally as possible. Gentle Naturals Cradle Cap Care is specially formulated to remove crusty scales and moisturize baby’s scalp with natural ingredients: calendula, jojoba oil, and vitamins A, D, and E. Unlike mineral oil, Gentle Naturals Cradle Cap Care contains a patented ingredient so it's light and non-greasy. Gently massage into baby's scalp. Loosen scales with a soft brush or comb. Leaves your baby's scalp looking clean and beautiful.
Length of Condition
Affecting about half of all newborns, cradle cap usually develops between two weeks to three months after birth. It can last anywhere from a few weeks to up to a year.
Comfort of Baby
Although it may not be pleasant to look at, cradle cap is harmless, causes no discomfort or itching, and disappears fairly easily with proper care.
