Dentinox Cradle Cap Shampoo is a gentle, medicated shampoo formulated to help treat cradle cap in babies. It contains mild cleansing agents to remove flakes and soften the scalp, along with an ingredient to help loosen and lift the dry, scaly skin associated with cradle cap. Suitable for regular use, it can also be used as a gentle daily shampoo once the condition has cleared. Dentinox Cradle Cap Shampoo is dermatologically tested and gentle enough for delicate baby skin, leaving the hair clean, soft, and fresh. It is typically used at bath time, massaged into the scalp, and rinsed thoroughly.
Dentinox Cradle Cap Shampoo 125ml contains sodium lauryl ether sulfo-succinate and sodium lauryl ether sulfate, which both belong to a group of medicines known as cleansing surfactants. These cleansers are effective for the treatment of cradle cap, a condition that is common in babies. The shampoo is suitable for babies from birth onwards.
