3-Step Baby Cradle Cap & Dry Scalp Routine with a Free Cradle Cap Brush

A pediatrician’s dry-scalp routine

One simple routine for cradle cap and dry baby scalp.

A dry, flaky baby scalp usually responds to a routine, not a single product. Wash gently, use the medicated shampoo where flaking and scaling show up, lift the loosened flakes with a soft brush, and replace lost moisture every day. This set brings the whole routine together, brush included, so there is no guessing about what to reach for.

The set pairs a medicated shampoo and body wash, whose active ingredient pyrithione zinc helps relieve the itching, irritation, redness, flaking, and scaling associated with dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. For cradle cap, it helps manage symptoms while gently loosening and washing away flakes and scales. Alongside it are a fragrance-free daily wash for the days in between, a moisturizing cream for dry, itchy skin, and a soft silicone brush to help lift flakes as you wash. The three skincare formulas are fragrance-free and made without dyes, parabens, sulfates, or gluten. See each product’s directions and Drug Facts, where applicable, for appropriate use.

“Loosening the flakes gently while you wash, then moisturizing every day, does more than any single product. That is why I put the brush right in this set.”

Frequently Asked Questions

The things parents most often ask Dr. Eddie before their first use.

What is included in this set?

Three skincare products. The Medicated Shampoo & Body Wash (one 8 oz bottle), the Daily Shampoo & Body Wash (one 8 oz bottle), and the Moisturizing Cream (one 6 oz tube). A FREE soft silicone Cradle Cap Brush is included as a tool to use with the medicated wash.

How do I use the 3-step routine?

Step 1. Wash with the Medicated Shampoo & Body Wash 2 to 3 times a week, leaving it on 1 to 2 minutes and using the brush to gently loosen flakes before rinsing. Step 2. Use the Daily Shampoo & Body Wash on the days in between. Step 3. Moisturize at least twice a day with the Moisturizing Cream, ideally after a bath.

What is the free brush for?

The soft silicone Cradle Cap Brush gently lifts loosened flakes from the scalp while you use the medicated wash. Its ultra-soft bristles are made for a delicate baby scalp, and it is included free with this set.

How is this different from the Complete 3-Step Set?

This set includes the free Cradle Cap Brush and one 6 oz tube of the Moisturizing Cream. The Complete 3-Step Set instead includes the cream in both a 6 oz tube and a 12 oz pump jar, with no brush, which suits a whole family or a longer stretch of daily moisturizing.

Will this help my baby’s dry, flaky scalp?

This is the routine built for a dry, flaky baby scalp. The Medicated Shampoo helps relieve the flaking, scaling, and itching associated with dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. For cradle cap, it helps manage symptoms while loosening and washing away flakes. The brush lifts the loosened flakes, and the daily wash and cream help care for dry skin in between. It helps manage the look and feel of the scalp, though it is not a cure.

Who is this set for?

Babies, toddlers, kids, and adults. It is built for families managing cradle cap, seborrheic dermatitis, dandruff, and dry, sensitive scalp and skin.

How often should I use the Medicated Shampoo & Body Wash?

Use the Medicated Shampoo & Body Wash 2 to 3 times a week, or as directed by a doctor. Its active ingredient, pyrithione zinc, is the medicated part of the routine. The daily wash and cream are used more often, on the other days.

Can I buy the products separately?

Yes. Each is also sold on its own. The Medicated Shampoo & Body Wash, the Daily Shampoo & Body Wash, and the Moisturizing Cream. The set brings them together at a bundle price and adds the cradle cap brush free.
