— A Pediatrician's Solution —
A simple two-product routine for cradle cap and seborrheic dermatitis at any age. One medicated wash for dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis, plus one daily moisturizer for dry, sensitive, eczema-prone skin.
Cradle cap is not just for babies. It is commonly associated with infantile seborrheic dermatitis, and the same flaking and scaling shows up on adults and older kids as stubborn scalp dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. A steady routine tends to help more than any single wash, so this set pairs the two products that do the most work together, a medicated wash for the scalp and skin, and a moisturizing cream for the dry areas around it.
The Medicated Shampoo and Body Wash contains 0.95% pyrithione zinc and helps eliminate 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 on the scalp, face, and body. The Moisturizing Cream is a separate, fragrance-free daily moisturizer for dry, itchy, sensitive, eczema-prone skin, where glycerin helps draw in moisture and petrolatum helps seal it in.
“Treat the scalp where it flakes with the medicated wash, then moisturize the skin that gets dry with the cream. Two products, two jobs, and staying consistent is what keeps cradle cap and seborrheic dermatitis comfortable at any age.”

Massage the Medicated Shampoo & Body Wash onto wet scalp and skin and leave it on for 1 to 2 minutes, then rinse. Use on hair, face, and body wherever flaking and scaling show up.
Apply the Moisturizing Cream to the face and body at least twice daily, morning and night, and again whenever skin feels dry. Applying after a bath while skin is still slightly damp can help seal in moisture.

The things parents most often ask Dr. Eddie before their first use.
Two products, the Medicated Shampoo & Body Wash (one 8 oz bottle) and the Moisturizing Cream. You choose the cream size at checkout, a 6 oz tube or a 12 oz pump jar, and the price adjusts to match.
Wash with the Medicated Shampoo & Body Wash at least twice a week, leaving it on 1 to 2 minutes before rinsing, on the scalp, face, and body where flaking shows up. Then moisturize with the Moisturizing Cream at least twice daily, ideally after a bath.
Yes. Seborrheic dermatitis and dandruff affect adults and older kids as well as babies, and the medicated shampoo helps eliminate the flaking, scaling, and itching associated with them at any age. Cradle cap is commonly associated with the infant form of seborrheic dermatitis.
They do two different jobs. The Medicated Shampoo & Body Wash is an over-the-counter product with 0.95% pyrithione zinc for dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. The Moisturizing Cream is a cosmetic moisturizer for dry, itchy, sensitive, eczema-prone skin. Seborrheic dermatitis and eczema are not the same condition, so the two products are used for different things.
Use it at least twice a week, or as directed by a doctor. Its active ingredient, pyrithione zinc, is the medicated part of the routine. The moisturizing cream is a cosmetic product used more often, at least twice a day, including the days in between washes.
This set is the simplest medicated routine, just the medicated wash and the moisturizing cream. The Complete 3-Step Set adds the gentle Daily Wash for the days between medicated washes, and other sets add a cradle cap brush. Start here if you mainly want to wash and moisturize.
It helps eliminate and manage the flaking, scaling, and itching and keeps the scalp and skin more comfortable, but it is not a cure. Seborrheic dermatitis and dandruff tend to come and go, so many families keep the routine going and use the medicated wash as needed.
