Children’s Shampoo with a Purpose

Her first smile, the sound of sweet giggles, sitting up by herself for a moment before tipping over, inspecting every cabinet for new treasures, taking those first wobbly steps, opening trashcans, pulling toilet paper, trying to grab a hold of everything they shouldn’t…

Enjoy these moments without being hindered by scale and redness of the scalp.

Dr. Eddie’s Happy Cappy Medicated Shampoo & Body Wash is a pediatrician’s solution to fight flaking, itching, redness, scaling, and irritation on the scalp and skin for children of all ages.

These bothersome symptoms are known as dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. 1 in 3 children under the age of 5 are affected by this condition.

Many people refer to seborrheic dermatitis as “cradle cap.” Pediatricians regularly recommend adult dandruff shampoos for this condition because they contain an FDA approved active ingredient to control seborrheic dermatitis and dandruff. Until now there was no children’s seborrheic dermatitis shampoo and body wash.

Happy Cappy is the first OTC (Over The Counter) shampoo and body wash made specifically for children of all ages with an FDA approved active ingredient, pyrithione zinc, which has been proven safe and effective for many decades for relief of dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. It also contains the natural ingredient Licorice Root Extract to help soothe redness behind ears, under armpits, and in neck folds.

Happy Cappy’s gentle, fragrance free, dermatologist tested, dye free, alcohol free, paraben free, sulfate free, BPA free formula eliminates flaking while still leaving the skin and hair soft and smooth.

Some will see results in as few as one or two washes, however if your child has much scale build up you may need to use this product daily for 3 to 7 days. It can also be used for a longer period of time. For thick scale build up, leave on for 1-2 minutes before rinsing. Once the scaling and flaking is under control, taper use to 2-3 times per week. Most will see significant improvement after 1 to 2 weeks of use.

Daily Shampoo & Body Wash

Brought to you by the same trusted company that has eliminated flakes on thousands of scalps in children of all ages—Dr. Eddie’s Happy Cappy Medicated Shampoo. Our newest offering is a Daily Shampoo & Body Wash for children of all ages with normal skin or dry, itchy, irritated skin.

An excellent sensitive skin care regimen should avoid scent and color. Those with eczema should have a fragrance-free and dye free shampoo and body wash, a fragrance-free laundry detergent, use fragrance-free dryer sheets (if needed), and apply fragrance-free moisturizing cream to the affected areas of the body twice daily.

Our Daily Shampoo & Body Wash does just this. It replenishes moisture while remaining free of fragrance, dye, alcohol, sulfates, and preservatives known as parabens. In fact, over 95% of our ingredients are of natural plant-based origin including the preservatives. Natural ingredients were carefully selected for their soothing properties—Oatmeal Extract, Licorice Root Extract, Aloe Vera, Provitamin B5, and Hyaluronic Acid.

For those who enjoy science…skin has a mildly acidic pH (a pH from 4 to 6). Patients with eczema (atopic dermatitis) can have skin that becomes neutral to basic. The majority of soaps available on the market are basic (having a pH of 9 to 10), and can alter negatively the pH of skin. Studies have shown, “maintaining a normal pH through appropriate therapy is well known to benefit disease states such as atopic dermatitis [1].” 

Happy Cappy has a mildly acidic pH (unlike most other soaps) to match the pH of normal skin, which preserves the barrier function, and antimicrobial activity of skin [1].
