Dr. Ana-Maria Temple shares five natural remedies for infant cradle cap. Start with coconut oil and a Dermofrida brush, then try aloe vera mixed with castile soap and iodine. Her favorite is the Yobe Baby Scalp Mask, a probiotic blend with turmeric, honey, and jojoba oil that works in five minutes to overnight.
5 natural remedies for cradle cap, and number 5 is my favorite. Hi, I'm Dr. Ana-Maria Temple, holistic pediatrician, and my mission is to help parents raise healthy kids with less medications. Number 1, coconut oil and Dermavita. You apply coconut oil for 5 minutes, let the flakes soften up, and use a Dermofrida brush to scrape the flakes off. Number 2, aloe vera, Dr. Bronner's soap, and iodine. You make the mixture, leave it on, and then wash the scalp. Apple cider vinegar. Mix some apple cider vinegar with filtered water, apply it to the scalp, leave it for 5-10 minutes, and then wash hair as usual. Happy Cappy contains a specific kind of zinc that topically takes care of Malassezia furfur, which is a fungus that contributes to cradle cap. And number 5 of my favorite, the Yobe Baby Scalp Mask, or the kid mask. It contains probiotics, turmeric, honey, jojoba oil, B12, and shea butter. You can put the mask on the baby's head. You could leave it for 5 minutes, you leave it 30 minutes, you could even leave it overnight. Not only does it get rid of the seborrhea, but it also restores the skin to its natural glow.
