— A Pediatrician's Solution —
This Happy Cappy bundle pairs two complementary cleansers, a Medicated Shampoo & Body Wash for dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and cradle cap symptom management, plus a gentle Daily Shampoo & Body Wash for everyday cleansing of dry, itchy, sensitive, eczema-prone skin.
Cradle cap is the common name for infant seborrheic dermatitis, and the same flaking and scaling shows up on older kids and adults as stubborn scalp dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. A steady routine tends to help more than any single wash, so this set pairs the two washes that do the most work together, a medicated shampoo for the flaring days and a gentle daily wash for every day in between.
The Medicated Shampoo and Body Wash contains 0.95% pyrithione zinc, an OTC active ingredient, and helps eliminate the itching, redness, flaking, and scaling associated with dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. For cradle cap, it helps manage symptoms while loosening and washing away flakes and scales on the scalp, face, and body. The Daily Shampoo and Body Wash is a separate, non-medicated, fragrance-free everyday cleanser for dry, itchy, sensitive, eczema-prone skin, tear-free and gentle enough to use head to toe on the days between medicated washes.
“Use the medicated shampoo on the days the scalp is flaking, and the gentle daily wash the rest of the time. Two washes, two different jobs, and staying consistent is what keeps things calm at any age.”
Dr. Eddie Valenzuela, MD, FAAP · Founder

The things parents most often ask Dr. Eddie before their first use.
Two washes, the Medicated Shampoo & Body Wash and the Daily Shampoo & Body Wash, each an 8 oz bottle. Choose a 2-pack with one of each, or a 4-pack with two of each to stock up, and the price adjusts to match.
Use the Medicated Shampoo & Body Wash at least twice a week on the days the scalp is flaking, leaving it on 1 to 2 minutes before rinsing. Use the gentle Daily Shampoo & Body Wash every day in between as your regular head-to-toe cleanser.
Yes. Seborrheic dermatitis and dandruff affect adults and older kids as well as babies, and the medicated shampoo is for the relief of the flaking, scaling, and itching associated with them at any age. Cradle cap is simply the infant form of seborrheic dermatitis.
The Daily Shampoo & Body Wash is a gentle, fragrance-free cosmetic cleanser made for dry, itchy, sensitive, eczema-prone skin. It cleanses without over-drying, but it is not a medicated eczema treatment. If a doctor has diagnosed eczema, follow their guidance and use it as your everyday wash.
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 gentle daily wash is what you reach for on all the other days.
The 2-pack has one of each wash and is a good way to start the routine. The 4-pack has two of each, which stocks up a whole household or keeps a set at home and one in the diaper bag, and it works out to a better value per bottle.
This set is the two-wash routine, just the medicated shampoo and the gentle daily wash, with no cream. The Complete 3-Step Set adds the Moisturizing Cream for dry skin, and other sets add a cradle cap brush. Start here if you mainly want the washes and will moisturize on your own.
It helps 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 shampoo as needed.
