An Eczema Shampoo Safe for Babies

Licensed Houston pediatrician Dr. Eddie Valenzuela saw a need for an eczema shampoo and body wash that is safe for babies and children of all ages. He created two revolutionary products, a medicated shampoo for seborrheic dermatitis and a gentle daily shampoo and body wash made to soothe eczema symptoms in children of all ages.

Happy Cappy Daily Shampoo and Body Wash is an eczema shampoo and body wash that complies with pediatric dermatologist recommendations for eczema by being a fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, non-soap cleanser with a low pH. Happy Cappy is also free of any ingredients to mask scent.

Most average soaps are drying and harsh, and have a pH between 9 and 10. The skin’s normal pH is between 4 and 5. This difference in acidity can worsen eczema symptoms. Happy Cappy has a low pH to help preserve the skin’s antimicrobial activity and barrier function and is made without any harsh surfactants that can steal the skin’s natural moisture. Happy Cappy is parabens free and made with ingredients like licorice root extract, oatmeal extract, and aloe vera to soothe redness and provitamin B5 and hyaluronic acid to moisturize hair and skin.

However, as most people with eczema develop symptoms before the age of 5 and the most severe kinds of eczema are most common in infants and babies, it’s important to be aware of symptoms so conditions can be caught early and properly treated.

Eczema symptoms in babies under 2 years old include:

Rashes on the scalp and cheeks, and on outside of elbows and knees

  • Bubbled rashes that sometimes leak fluid
  • Extreme itchiness that interferes with sleeping
  • Skin infections that can occur from scratching

Eczema symptoms in children over the age of 2 include:

  • Rashes on the inside of the knees, elbow creases, neck, wrists, buttocks and legs

How to Treat Eczema on Babies

Though eczema has no permanent cure, there are a variety of methods for soothing flare-ups and preventing irritation in children such as:

  • Lukewarm baths
  • Soft clothing made from cotton or other non-irritating fabrics
  • Frequent moisturizing
  • Air drying or patting skin with a soft towel after a bath rather than rubbing the skin dry
  • Using a humidifier in cold or dry environments
  • Clipping fingernails to prevent unnecessary scratching or breaking the skin

Eczema reduces the skin’s ability to protect itself from the environment, meaning any harsh or irritating product can dry out and inflame skin.

One of the most important treatments for eczema in children of all ages is using a gentle, non-soap shampoo and body wash for eczema that will clean the skin without irritation. Purchase Dr. Eddie’s Happy Cappy Daily Shampoo & Body Wash on Amazon or Walmart.com, or Walgreens.com.
