Cradle cap is not a hygiene problem and it's not harmful — it's a common, temporary condition caused by overactive sebaceous glands in the first months of life. The treatment is gentle and mechanical: soften the scale with oil, leave it to work, then brush through with a soft baby brush. These three oils do exactly that job without any ingredient that could irritate or sensitise infant skin.
HERO INGREDIENT — Jojoba Oil Jojoba's sebum-like molecular structure makes it the ideal oil for a cradle cap treatment. Scalp sebum is what causes the scale to form and adhere — Jojoba, which closely mimics sebum, penetrates and softens it from within rather than just sitting on top. It's non-comedogenic, completely non-irritating, and safe for use on infant skin from birth.
WHAT ELSE IS IN THIS RECIPE
