Why pharmacists picked this

A good pick when cradle cap flakes are stubborn and oil alone isn't loosening them. It's made for babies' scalps, fragrance-free, and you simply apply it at bedtime and wash it out in the morning.

Pros

  • Made specifically for babies' scalps
  • Fragrance-free and paraben-free
  • Narrow nozzle makes it easy to target patches
  • Light, non-greasy texture

Cons

  • Has to be left on overnight
  • Small 40 mL tube for the price
  • Contains preservatives (sodium benzoate, caprylyl glycol, 1,2-hexanediol)
  • Unscented, but some parents find the natural smell unpleasant
  • Harder to apply on babies with a lot of hair

Moisturizing avocado and plant oils soften the dry flakes so they loosen and wash away more easily.
