Cradle Cap Relief - Massage Blend
What is it?
We are constantly making new skin cells at about the rate that we lose old dry skin cells. The old skin falls off and we usually don't even notice the process. In many healthy infants, the skin cells on their scalp grow faster than they can fall off, leaving a layer of somewhat crusty, extra skin. Cradle cap is a crusting and scaling rash found on the scalps of many healthy babies. The sebaceous glands in their skin are hyper activated often because of mom’s hormones that crossed the placenta just before birth. These glands pump out a greasy substance that keeps the old skin cells attached as it dries.How can Essential oils help?
Essential oils nourish your baby’s scalp. An effective blend has a balancing action on the skin’s natural oil. It promotes growth of new cells and relieves flaking and irritation. The gentlest treatment is to simply rub a small amount of the blend (plain pure Sweet Almond or Wheatgerm oil if your baby is under 3 months) onto your baby's scalp. Wait several minutes for the oil to soften and loosen the scales, and brush them away with a soft brush or a dry terry-cloth washcloth.Woodspirits Cradle cap blend.
