Cradle Cap Care For Babies
Gentle, natural skincare to help moisturise delicate skin
Cradle cap is a common and harmless skin condition in babies. While it often clears on its own, many parents choose to gently care for their baby’s scalp to help moisturise and keep skin comfortable.
Our range of coconut oil baby skincare is designed to gently moisturise delicate skin using carefully selected, scalp-loving ingredients.
Frequently Asked Questions
Cradle cap looks like patches of greasy, scaly skin on the scalp and is a common skin condition in babies. According to the NHS, it’s harmless and should go away on its own after 6 to 12 months. Though there are things parents can do to help keep little heads nourished and happy. For instance, Kokoso can be used as a coconut oil for cradle cap if you gently massage the scalp with the oil to soften the crust. You can then brush away scales with our Natural Baby Hairbrush.
