What the gurus are saying

Zinc pyrithione combined with soothing licorice and moisturizing panthenol makes this baby shampoo effective for seborrheic dermatitis when used as a face wash, without the harsh drying typical of other anti-dandruff products. The fragrance-free, dye-free formula works for both cradle cap in babies and sensitive adult skin, making it worth considering if standard anti-dandruff shampoos tend to feel too drying.

    "This has zinc pyrithione, great for dandruff. It's meant for like cradle cap, which is the baby equivalent of dandruff, but it's also got licorice root which is very soothing and good for the redness. It's mild, it has panthenol which is moisturizing. This is a really good option for the face for seborrheic dermatitis, especially if you find the anti-dandruff shampoos to typically be kind of on the drying side. This stuff is really good."

    "This Happy Cappy from Dr Eddy is a great option for controlling the yeast, and may help you out if you have facial seborrheic dermatitis and/or atopic dermatitis. This one is free of fragrance, it's not super drying, and can also be used as a face wash too."

    "There's another brand that exists although I don't see it getting enough attention that deserves it: Happy Cappy. I'm just looking at it here, they sent this to me when I had kids and I found it to be a nice sensitive skin option. So it has zinc pyrithione, licorice, apple, provitamin B5, and then also no fragrance, no dyes. So another good option here and another good line if you're looking for something for your kid."
