We’re here, lets chatThis cream was developed for the symptomatic relief of mild Cradle Cap in infants and mild Seborrheic Dermatitis in adults, two common skin conditions that often show up on the scalp, face and oily areas of the body. These spots can become red, flaky, itchy and uncomfortable, especially around the hairline, eyebrows, ears, neck or nose.
We combined soothing, moisturising and barrier-repairing ingredients to help calm irritation and support the skin’s natural recovery. The formula sinks in quickly, hydrates deeply and like all of our creams, can be used anywhere on the body, not just the scalp. It also doubles as a nourishing daily moisturiser.
Whether you're treating bub’s flaky cradle cap or managing Dandruff or Seborrheic Dermatitis, this cream is designed to comfort and care for red, flaky or inflamed skin, gently and effectively.
How to use: Gently part bub’s damp hair in a few spots and apply the cream directly to the scalp, especially where the skin looks dry or flaky. Leave it on overnight to give the soothing ingredients time to work. In the morning, use a soft brush to gently loosen and lift away any flakes - a sign that fresh, healthy skin is coming through. Rinse with a gentle, natural shampoo.

What’s the best way to apply the Scalp Cream to the scalp?
Gently part your bub’s damp hair in a few spots and apply the cream directly to the scalp, especially where the skin looks dry or flaky. Leave it on overnight to give the soothing ingredients time to work. In the morning, use a soft brush to gently loosen and lift away any flakes - a sign that fresh, healthy skin is coming through. Rinse with a gentle, natural shampoo.
Is this product steroid-free?
Yes, like all MooGoo products, this cream is free from steroids. It’s a gentle, natural option for managing symptoms.
What’s the difference between this product and the Scalp Cream in different packaging?
This is the exact same formula as our original Scalp Cream. We often get asked if our products are suitable for use on babies and children, and the answer is YES! However, some parents are still cautious and don’t like to use products that don’t come in baby specific packaging.
So, to ease the mind of parents, we released this formula in baby packaging to showcase that it’s completely suitable for use on babies, infants and newborns. Not only does this tie in with the rest of our cute and colourful Baby Range but it will also help to reassure parents that these products can be used on the little ones!
Can I use Scalp Cream on Milk Pimples? Yes! Even though it’s a Scalp Cream, it works beautifully on delicate baby skin, including milk pimples on the face. We know it sounds a little unexpected, but this cream is packed with gentle, nourishing ingredients like Squalane, Olive Oil and Coconut Oil to hydrate without irritating. It also contains Aloe Vera and Allantoin to help calm redness and support the skin’s natural healing process.
Simply dab a small amount onto the affected areas - it’s a lovely, non-drying way to help ease those little milk pimples while keeping bub’s skin soft and happy.
What ingredients do you avoid when making a moisturiser?
There's lots of things you won't find in this cream (or any of our other products) because they were all formulated for family members and close friends. This includes Paraffin and Mineral Oil which derive from petroleum, but are commonly found in commercial moisturisers like Sorbolene. We don’t think putting the stuff that goes into our cars on our skin is the healthiest thing we can do.
We also don’t use any synthetic preservatives such as Parabens and Phenoxyethanol, although they're pretty common too, including with a few brands that claim to be natural (you know who you are!). We avoid a lot of other things too, way too many to list here. We also don't use any useless, trendy ingredients like stem cells from Swiss apples or super power jellyfish DNA, just natural, effective ingredients for healthy skin.
What does "Dermatologically Tested" mean?
You may have seen the term “Dermatologically Tested” on lots of products before, but did you know there’s not an actual definition or regulation for this term? Because that didn’t sit right with us, and because our aim is to make products for people with really sensitive skin, we decided to send a bunch of them off to be tested in an independent lab on 54 people who reported having sensitive skin. The results were given on a scale of 0 to 5 with 0 being no irritation or redness and 5 being a reaction. We’re happy to report that other than one person who had a reaction to the adhesive on the patch and another who found the patches painful to remove, all subjects reported 0 for redness and irritation for all the products we sent for testing. To check out the full report and summary of the test we did on this product, click here.
