What is cradle cap?

Cradle cap (infant seborrhoeic dermatitis) appears as flaky, crusty patches on a baby’s scalp. It:

- Is very common in newborns and young babies

- Is not painful or itchy in most cases

- Usually resolves naturally over time

According to UK health guidance, gently washing and moisturising the scalp can help manage dryness and flaking.

How our products help

Our gentle formulations are designed to support healthy-looking skin by:

- Moisturising dry areas to soften flakes

- Conditioning the scalp to improve manageability

- Supporting the skin barrier with nourishing oils

We use organic coconut oil, known for its skin-conditioning properties, to help keep baby skin soft and hydrated.

Choose your cradle cap routine

1. A simple, natural approach

Kokoso Baby Coconut Oil - Massage a small amount into your baby’s scalp to help soften dry flakes. Leave briefly (or overnight if preferred), then gently massage the scalp with the soft yet firm bristles of our Natural Baby Brush. Shampoo with Kokoso's coconut oil-rich Gentle Hair & Body Wash.

2. A targeted scalp routine

Happy Scalp Cream - A lightweight cream formulated for the scalp, with coconut oil, aloe vera and celery seed extract. Designed to help reduce dryness, flakes and excess oil while supporting a healthy scalp environment. Apply morning and night for best results.

3. Use together

Many parents choose to use our multipurpose organic coconut oil to soften flakes before washing the scalp and hair, followed by a small amount of Happy Scalp Cream to keep cradle cap-prone skin moisturised. Buy both products together in our Sensitive Scalp Set.

Why choose Kokoso

- Made with nourishing organic coconut oil

- Suitable for sensitive skin and eczema-prone skin

- Dermatologically tested and paediatrician approved

- Free from harsh additives

What parents say about cradle cap

Parents often tell us they’ve noticed:

- Softer-looking flakes

- Easier scalp cleansing

- Improved overall skin feel

“Amazing product and the best thing I've ever bought for her skin. My daughter had really bad cradle cap and dry skin on her scalp, eyebrows and neck. Kokoso Baby Coconut Oil helped enormously and left her smelling gorgeous as a bonus. Would recommend to anyone.” - Courtney H.

Individual experiences vary. Our products are cosmetic skincare, not medical treatments.
