Unsightly and sometimes irritating, cradle cap often appears several weeks after birth. It is caused by excess sebum secretion, usually at the scalp, forehead and temples.
To elimate this yellow-ish plaque and flaky skin, sweet almond oil or adapted products can be used. Avène offers, as part of their Pédiatril range, a Cradle Cap Gel, formulated with Avène Thermal Spring Water (soothing and anti-irritation) and sweet almond oil (an emollient). Apply, massage delicately, leave to act, rinse, and that's it!
