More About Timelines

Timelines are estimates, based on our averages and couriers’ commitments. We always aim to get your order to you quicker than this — but they’re not a guarantee. Wherever your order is in the journey, we’ll keep you updated every step of the way.

Returns Made Easy

Unfortunately, we can’t accept returns on this product once it’s been opened. This is usually because:

  • It’s a hygiene or sanitary product
  • It’s single-use
  • It’s a final sale or clearance item

If there’s a defect or fault, though, it’s always covered as a warranty claim.

If the item is still unopened, you can return it within 30 days of receiving it. Just request a return from your account or through our chat, and we’ll handle the rest.

Returns are always free within 7 days. After that, if you’re returning it because you’ve changed your mind, you may need to cover the return cost. You can send it back yourself, or we can arrange a courier and give you an upfront quote — direct from the courier. If your return is for any other reason, it’s free.

The Mustela Cradle Cap Foam Shampoo is a lightweight foam shampoo made for newborns and babies, designed to gently cleanse the hair and scalp while helping to minimise cradle cap. Its soft, airy foam texture is easy to work through fine baby hair and rinses away cleanly, lifting away flakes as it cleanses so bath time stays quick and fuss-free.

Cradle cap — the scaly, crusty patches that can appear on a baby's scalp — is common and usually harmless, but it's understandable to want to gently tidy it up. This fragrance-free foam shampoo gently exfoliates and rinses away flakes while helping to reduce the chance of recurrence, making it a practical option to fold into your baby's regular wash routine. It's formulated with 99% ingredients of natural origin (per the ISO 16128 standard), including Avocado polyphenols, Sunflower seed oil and a patented blend of rebalancing ingredients, along with mild, plant-based surfactants that cleanse without over-drying the scalp.

Gentle enough for a newborn's scalp

Safe to use from birth, this shampoo has been developed for high-tolerance use on delicate, flake-prone baby scalps and is specially formulated to minimise the risk of allergic reactions. It's gentle on the eyes and rinses off easily, so it can be used around the forehead and eyebrow area. It is fragrance-free, vegan, and free from parabens, phthalates, phenoxyethanol and over 1,700 EU-banned ingredients, and has been tested under dermatological and paediatric control.

Key Ingredients

Avocado Polyphenols What it does: Softens the scalp to help maintain healthy-looking hair.
Why it works: A patented natural component drawn from avocado that helps protect and hydrate baby's delicate scalp.
Sunflower Seed Oil Unsaponifiables What it does: Soothes while helping to replenish the skin barrier.
Why it works: Supporting the scalp's barrier is part of how the formula helps reduce the recurrence of flakes.
Mild Plant-Based Surfactants What it does: Gently cleanse the hair and scalp.
Why it works: They lift away dirt and flakes without over-drying, helping to maintain the scalp's natural balance.

How to Use

  1. Pump a small amount of shampoo into your hands.
  2. Gently massage into baby's wet hair and scalp.
  3. Rinse thoroughly.

For best results, use daily during cradle-cap flare-ups, then 2–3 times weekly to help prevent recurrence. Use once daily or as recommended by your paediatrician.

Best For

The Mustela Cradle Cap Foam Shampoo is a great option for parents who:

  • Want a gentle, fragrance-free foam shampoo they can use from birth
  • Are looking to gently exfoliate and rinse away cradle cap flakes as part of a regular wash routine
  • Prefer a formula made largely from ingredients of natural origin and tested under dermatological and paediatric control
  • Like the convenience of a pump dispenser for easier one-handed use with a wriggly baby

Disclaimer

Cradle cap is a common condition that is usually harmless and often clears on its own over a few months. This is a cosmetic shampoo and not a medical treatment. If your baby's scalp is broken, weeping, inflamed or you're concerned, or if flaking persists, speak to your paediatrician or a healthcare professional.

Pandylane Pro Tip: Mustela suggests using this foam shampoo alongside the Cradle Cap Cream — the shampoo to cleanse and exfoliate at bath time, and the cream between washes — to care for cradle cap and help maintain a healthy-looking scalp.
