Dentinox Cradle Cap Shampoo is a gentle, medicated shampoo formulated to help treat cradle cap in babies. It contains mild cleansing agents to remove flakes and soften the scalp, along with an ingredient to help loosen and lift the dry, scaly skin associated with cradle cap. Suitable for regular use, it can also be used as a gentle daily shampoo once the condition has cleared. Dentinox Cradle Cap Shampoo is dermatologically tested and gentle enough for delicate baby skin, leaving the hair clean, soft, and fresh. It is typically used at bath time, massaged into the scalp, and rinsed thoroughly.
Dentinox Cradle Cap Shampoo 125ml contains sodium lauryl ether sulfo-succinate and sodium lauryl ether sulfate, which both belong to a group of medicines known as cleansing surfactants.
These cleansers are effective for the treatment of cradle cap, a condition that is common in babies. The shampoo is suitable for babies from birth onwards.
Have a question? We’re here to help.
Getting too much shampoo on the skin is not a problem. The shampoo is not poisonous if it is accidentally swallowed.
The shampoo or lather may cause irritation if it gets into the eyes. If this happens, rinse your eyes with plenty of clean water. Take care not to wash the shampoo into the other eye if only rinsing one eye.
If irritation persists, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
Keep using the shampoo every day at each bath-time until the cradle cap clears up, then use as necessary.
The recommended dosage is two applications of the shampoo of between 2-3 ml. Repeat use at each bath time until the scalp is clear, then use as necessary.
The below instructions outline how to use the shampoo to treat cradle cap:
Wet the baby’s head with warm water
Squeeze a little Dentinox Cradle Cap Shampoo 125ml onto your palm and massage gently but firmly over the entire scalp.
Do not be afraid of touching the soft area of the scalp.
Avoid excess massaging and hot water.
Rinse off and repeat application.
Rinse well and gently dry.
Do not try to remove the cradle cap by picking at it.
