An online search turns up multiple natural treatments for cradle cap. Here's what has worked for Sage. First, stop washing baby's head with water until outbreak heals. Next, take a small, CLEAN glass jar (approximately 4-6 oz.) -- I use an old minced garlic container -- and fill it with organic aloe vera gel. Add a few drops of essential lavender oil. Make sure it's essential oil, not fragrance. Secure the lid and shake vigorously. Slather baby's head with the mixture and allow to dry. Reapply a few hours later and comb through to lift scales. At bedtime apply a thin layer of grapeseed oil. Repeat daily until outbreak heals.
I use the aloe lavender concoction as an astringent for my face. I also use grapeseed oil as a styling hair gel for Sage and me. It's light enough to use as a daily moisturizer, as well. Natural, non-toxic, EFFECTIVE, and more economical than expensive personal care products.
