FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the ATOPALM Newborn Scalp Lotion?
The lotion is designed to help remove scalp dead cells, hydrate the scalp, and relieve itching for newborn babies with sensitive scalps, often caused by high sebum production.
How often should I use this scalp lotion on my newborn?
Usage can vary based on the baby's scalp condition. Typically, it can be used as needed for dryness or flaking. For best results, follow the suggested application methods, which may include overnight treatment before a gentle wash.
Can I use this on my older baby or toddler?
This product is specifically formulated for the unique needs of a newborn's scalp. For older babies or toddlers, it's recommended to use products designed for their age group or consult with a pediatrician.
What are the key ingredients responsible for its effectiveness?
Key ingredients include Glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate for hydration, Allantoin for soothing, and Myristoyl/Palmitoyl Oxostearamide/Arachamide MEA, which is part of Atopalm's MLE formula that mimics skin lipids to help strengthen the skin barrier.
Is this product safe if my baby ingests a small amount?
The product is intended for external use only. While formulated with gentle ingredients, it's best to prevent ingestion. If a significant amount is ingested, contact a medical professional. Ensure the product is stored safely out of reach.
How does this product help with cradle cap?
The lotion helps to soften and gently lift dead skin cells, which is beneficial for managing cradle cap. Applying it to the affected areas and then gently cleansing can help to gradually reduce the flakiness.
What is the typical absorption time?
The formula is designed to be fast-absorbing, meaning it should penetrate the skin relatively quickly without leaving a greasy residue.
Troubleshooting
Scalp remains flaky after application
Ensure you are applying enough product to the affected areas and gently massaging it in. For better results, try leaving the lotion on for a longer period or overnight before gently shampooing.
Baby seems uncomfortable or irritated after application
Discontinue use immediately and consult with a pediatrician. While formulated for sensitive skin, individual reactions can occur. Ensure you are using the product as directed and not applying to broken or severely irritated skin without professional advice.
Product texture seems different than expected
Check the batch number and expiry date. Store the product as recommended (cool, dry place). If the texture significantly deviates from typical lotion consistency, contact the retailer or manufacturer.
