As a nanny with over 15 years of child care experience, turned mom, I’m no stranger to cradle cap. Throughout the course of my career I’ve tried most home remedies and over the counter products to remove the scaly flakes associated with cradle cap. As any mom or caregiver whose dealt with cradle cap knows, it’s hard to get rid of and many products and remedies that claim to work, don’t.When I set out to review MD Moms new product, Baby Silk Gentle Scalp Rub, my expectations weren’t high. My four month old son had remnants of cradle cap that nothing would remove.
I was resorting to daily (and messy) applications of olive oil to keep it at bay, but it still would come back. I applied the Baby Silk Gentle Scalp Rub during my son’s bath as directed and didn’t notice really any change. Then his hair dried. Flakes and flakes of the cradle crap seemed to be loosening as they were now in his hair. I took a fine tooth comb and combed it out and to my amazement there was nothing left on his scalp. The flakes were really gone and two weeks post application they have not come back.
A little about Baby Silk Gentle Scalp Rub is creamy blend of natural oils, salicylate, marine silk, Vitamins E and B5, aloe and shea butter and is gentle enough to use daily (although I only needed to use it once). It’s paraben-free and preservative-free and contains no phthalates, lanolin, mineral oil, petroleum, waxes, wheat or gluten. It’s clinically tested & hypoallergenic and is not tested on animals. I will most definitely recommend this product to any mom or caregiver battling cradle cap. It works!
