Frequently Asked Questions
What is cradle cap, and how does Bioderma ABCDerm Babysquam help?
Cradle cap is a common condition in infants characterized by greasy, yellowish scales on the scalp, eyebrows, and behind the ears. It results from an overproduction of sebum, often due to maternal hormones transferred during pregnancy. Bioderma ABCDerm Babysquam is specifically formulated to gently eliminate these scales using keratolytic agents like malic acid ester. Additionally, it moisturizes and nourishes the skin with ingredients such as shea butter and glycerin, promoting a healthy scalp environment.
Is Bioderma ABCDerm Babysquam safe for newborns?
Yes, Bioderma ABCDerm Babysquam is suitable for use on newborns, excluding premature infants. Its formulation adheres to high safety and tolerance standards, ensuring gentle care for delicate baby skin. The product is unfragranced and does not sting the eyes, making it comfortable for infants.
How should I apply Bioderma ABCDerm Babysquam to my baby's scalp?
Apply the cream once daily for seven consecutive days. Using the applicator, apply directly to the affected areas (scalp, eyebrows, and/or behind the ears) and gently massage. Leave it on for 30 minutes, then wash off with a mild shampoo, preferably from the ABCDerm range. This routine helps effectively remove cradle cap scales and moisturize the skin.
