For cradle cap:
Gently part bub's damp hair in a few spots and apply the cream directly to the scalp, especially where the skin looks dry or flaky. Leave on overnight to give the soothing ingredients time to work. In the morning, use a soft brush to gently loosen and lift away any flakes - a sign that fresh, healthy skin is coming through. Rinse with a gentle, natural shampoo such as MooGoo Baby Gentle Shampoo.
For seborrheic dermatitis (adults and children):
Apply directly to affected areas on the scalp, face, or body. Can be used as a daily treatment cream or as an overnight leave-on application. Follow with a gentle moisturiser if needed.
For milk pimples:
Dab a small amount onto affected areas on the face. The formula is gentle enough for delicate newborn skin and can be used as needed. Precautions
For external use only. Contains Almond Oil (Tree Nut) - do not use if you have a known tree nut allergy. If symptoms persist, consult your healthcare professional. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place. More Information
MooGoo Baby Scalp Repair Cream is the same formula as MooGoo's original adult Scalp Cream, released in baby-specific packaging to reassure parents that it is completely safe for use on newborns, infants, and young children. Both versions are identical in formula and performance - the baby packaging simply makes it easier to reach for with confidence when treating a little one's cradle cap or scalp irritation.
Cradle cap (infantile seborrheic dermatitis) is an extremely common condition in newborns and young babies, typically appearing as yellow, greasy, or flaky skin on the scalp, eyebrows, and around the ears and nose. It is not contagious or harmful, but it can look concerning and be mildly uncomfortable. Seborrheic dermatitis in older children and adults presents similarly - dry, flaky, inflamed patches in the same oily areas of the skin. Both conditions respond well to consistent gentle treatment with nourishing, anti-inflammatory topical creams.
The formula centres on Olive Oil (45mg/g) and Coconut Oil (40mg/g) as its two active ingredients - both deeply nourishing oils that provide lipid support fo
