Mama, let's talk about those stubborn, flaky patches on your little one's scalp! If you're here, you've probably noticed some crusty, yellowish scales on your baby's head. Welcome to the cradle cap club! You're definitely not alone, and if you're already part of the Tubby Todd fam, you might be wondering: "Can I use my trusty All Over Ointment to tackle these icky flakes?"
The short answer? Absolutely, yes! Our All Over Ointment (a.k.a. AOO) is a skin-saver when it comes to treating cradle cap, but there's a method to the magic that makes it work even better!
What Is Cradle Cap Exactly?
Before we dive in, let's break down what we're dealing with. Cradle cap (officially called seborrheic dermatitis) is thought to be caused by overactive sebaceous (oil) glands in the skin, which are stimulated by hormones passed from mother to baby before birth. This excess oil prevents skin cells from shedding normally, causing them to stick together and form thick patches. Those rough, scaly patches on your little one's scalp that can look a bit concerning, but aren't itchy or painful for your baby*. With the right routine, we promise they'll be gone before you know it!
Works Like Magic: All Over Ointment for Cradle Cap
Our All Over Ointment treats more than eczema and dry skin. It's a multi-tasking miracle for cradle cap too! The secret lies in its gentle, nourishing formula. With ingredients like Jojoba Esters to gently exfoliate and Beeswax to help seal in moisture, AOO works by softening those stubborn scales overnight, making them easier to remove in the morning.
Here’s what some of our Tubby Todd fams have to say about AOO:
“I thought it would be too little since the bottle is small but a little goes a long way!” —Rocio
“We cannot share enough how much Tubby Todd All Over Ointment has helped our little girl!” —Breanna L.
“My son’s cradle cap was so dry and flaky and this bundle clears it right up! Lasts between bath days too! Love it!” —Melissa M.
But here's where it gets really good. AOO becomes even MORE effective when used as part of our complete cradle cap care routine!
The 4-Step Cradle Cap Routine
For stubborn cases of cradle cap, we've created a simple, 4-step system that clears those patches in no time. Our Bye-Bye Cradle Cap Bundle includes everything you need:
-
Start with Bye-Bye Cradle Cap Gel + Brush: During bathtime, massage a dime-sized amount onto wet hair, then use our dual-bristle silicone brush to gently buff away those flakes. The Pyrithione Zinc works to fight and prevent cradle cap while Aloe Vera and Olive Fruit Oil keep that delicate scalp hydrated.
-
Follow with Hair + Body Wash: One pump is all you need! Our signature wash doesn't dry out skin and really lathers like it matters.
-
Apply All Over Ointment before bed: Here's where the overnight magic happens! Smear a good layer of AOO on those flaky areas just before bedtime. Don't worry about getting it in baby's hair—it's part of the process! A little goes a long way, and it washes out of fabrics with no trouble.
-
Optional morning rinse: If needed, give baby another quick wash in the morning to remove any remaining ointment and flakes. Most will be gone, but it's a good chance to check for any spots you missed!
Using this process consistently 2-3 times a week works wonders for even the most stubborn cradle cap cases. And yes, it works for big kids too!
The Tubby Todd Difference
What sets our cradle cap solution apart is that we've created products that work together—gently but effectively. Unlike other treatments that might contain harsh ingredients, our entire system is safe for sensitive skin, hypoallergenic, and made with plant-based ingredients you can feel good about.
Remember, Mama, consistency is key! Cradle cap can be stubborn, but with regular use of your AOO (especially as part of our complete system), those flakes will be saying "bye-bye" before you know it!
