Ladibugs Cradle Cap Remedy Kit, 3oz | Includes Cradle Cap Serum & Fine-Toothed Comb | Effectively Removes Scales & Flakes | Soothes & Softens Scalp

It works for my 1.5 yr old! I used to use olive oil. It works better than olive oil.

My 10 year old was seen by her pediatrician back in March 2026 because I noticed a dried, yellow patch on her head. I mean, the patch was pretty bad and big and I was in shocked, that I didn’t see it before it got that bad, because I usually brush her hair. When we did the appointment, the pediatrician suggested to us, to use ketoconazole 2% shampoo, because according to her pediatrician, she thought that it was more than likely ringworm. I didn’t panicked much, because I knew that it couldn’t be ringworm, because we use the same hairbrush and there’s no way, that if it was ringworm, that her siblings, daddy and myself didn’t get it as well, since ringworm is highly contagious. The ketoconazole was not working. We did a second trip to the pediatrician after 6 weeks of usage and she suggested that we continued the treatment because ringworm can be stubborn. I then became disappointed, because I was hoping that they could help us that second time around. I then started my own research and realized, that kids her age, can get cradle cap. They don’t have to be toddlers to get cradle cap. I then came across this product and within the 2nd application, this thing, this monster, big, yellow, crusty patch just disappeared. Her scalp started to look healthy again and by the end of the second treatment, her patch was nearly gone and not raw, like it used to get, whenever we did the treatment with the ketoconazole shampoo. This product is more like an oil that once you leave it for 10 minutes and use the comb to gently remove the dead skin from the patch, you just wash it, like they normally do and it doesn’t leave any residues of the oil. Her hair once is brushed and air dried, feels soft. I will keep this product around my house forever. I’m just sharing, so anyone in desperate need, like I was, can hopefully test this and I hope that it works for them. I believe that doctors do help, but sometimes us mothers have to follow our instincts and be the doctors that we become the minute we bring these babies to this world. The value for this product is so little, because the way this product works, deserves every penny and is not even expensive, this product is truly amazing. I wish that I had a before and after picture to show how bad it was prior to using this product but I was too invested in trying to help her and didn’t think to take before pictures. I’m forever thankful for this amazing product. My daughter has thin and straight hair but I’m pretty sure that this product can be use on any type of hair, since it’s gentle.

Amazing! Very gentle on my babies scalp, and it only took two treatments! Make sure to be very CAREFUL around the soft spot. This product makes taking out cradle cap so easy, but it’s best to be mindful still of your babies soft spot.

Will recommend forever! My two year old daughter has struggled with cradle cap her entire life. She is extremely sensitive to all skin and hair care products. This did not bother her at all! It did exactly what it claims to do. With one use her cradle cap was GONE. Pleasant scent, great price, and washes out well. Be careful what your little one touches while the product sits, but besides that 100/10!

To start—yes, it is thick. It will leave grease marks wherever your babe puts his head while you wait to comb it out. But it works so well! Our one year old has really fine straight hair, so the first time, we got more in the hair and less on the scalp, and it still worked as good as anything else we’d tried (coconut oil, petroleum jelly, rice bran oil). The second round I treated it like I was dyeing his roots: combing back all the hair, pulling forward a “slice” of hair at a time, and applying to the scalp in between slices. I massaged it into his scalp (use your fingers or a silicone toothbrush) and let it sit for about 10-15 min. It says not to get in your child’s eyes—my babe is super face/head touchy, and I spent the first 5 min chasing him around with a wet wipe trying to keep it out of his face until I saw him touch his head and go straight to rubbing his eyes. From his reaction (right back to playing), I’d say it feels greasy in the eyes, but probably doesn’t burn or hurt too badly. After 10 min, the skin was starting to flake up and soften, so it was comb time. For new moms, cradle cap is hard to conquer because you have to do something that seems like it would really hurt—you’re basically going to lightly, very lightly, scrape the babe’s scalp with this comb, lifting up pieces of dead skin from the scalp to the ends of the hair. It will take several passes through, rotate areas so it doesn’t get too pink and sensitive in one spot. It seems like torture from your end, but I don’t think it hurts the babe. Mine gets restless after about 5 min of combing and being told to sit still, but he doesn’t act like he’s in pain, just ready to be free! You’ll want a flour sack cloth or paper towels handy, and each time you comb up flaky skin, wipe the comb off and take another pass through the hair and scalp. Go slow so you don’t pick into the scalp too deeply and also so you don’t flick excess oil everywhere—the fine tooth side of the comb pulls out a lot of the oil and can get messy. After we’re done, I wipe as much of the stuff off out of his hair as I can with a paper towel. For clean up, we were already using the bee gone cradle cap shampoo and conditioner before this product, and found that it works well to dissolve the oil—I rubbed in the shampoo and let it sit for about a minute before rinsing, and used conditioner before a final rinse. His hair was more conditioned-looking the next morning, but not greasy, looked like he’d been to the salon for a curl and blowout! And the cradle cap was finally GONE. 6 months of trial and error, all we tried works OK after a few treatments, but this worked FAST and completely. A note on that for DIYers—this is basically grape seed oil and silicone lube (yeah, that kind, “dimethicone”). A drop of chamomile would be a good add, and/or Vitamin E oil (this product uses mint, which some babes are sensitive to). Overall, this seems to be the magic combination for cradle cap!
