I didn't actually purchase this as a cradle cap shampoo but found it worked very well for that. I found that it also works great for getting sunscreen out of hair which a lot of products don't! It smells really nice and the foam pumps out and spreads very easily.

TL,DR:
1. Easy to source
2. Effective on cradle cap
3. Truly tear free
4. Easy to rinse
5. Bottle lasts forever
6. Delicious but subtle scent

We’ve been using this shampoo from birth and it truly is wonderful. Firstly, it’s readily available at Chemist Warehouse and Priceline. Secondly, it really clears up cradle cap very quickly - less than a week for us. It’s also the only shampoo that we’ve tried (and we’ve tried so many from all those little samples) that really is tear free - we all want a nice relaxing bath experience for baby! It’s so easy to rinse out too because it’s a very light foam. My partner who bathes baby calls it the magic shampoo as it lasts forever - baby is now almost 8 months and we’ve only just bought a new bottle having used it almost every night. Smells delicious and no funny skin reactions too!

We use this along with other Mustela products at bath time. Initially purchase this to treat cradle cap but continued to use it even after it was gone. The foam is so easy to use, doesn’t smell as nice/strong as some other Mustela products but has a pleasant smell and leaves hair clean even when bathing every other day.
