Sayaka Baby Skin & Scalp Serum - 50ml
For cradle cap & flaky skin caused by infant seb derm.
Sayaka (meaning "clear") Baby Skin & Scalp Serum is a gentle, fragrance-free formula designed for little ones with cradle cap / infant seb derm.
Cradle cap is a form of infant seborrheic dermatitis (seb derm) linked to an overgrowth of Malassezia yeast. Whilst commonly used oils like coconut oil and sweet almond oil are moisturising, they contain fatty acids in the C11-C24 range that this yeast feeds on, potentially fuelling ongoing flakes and irritation.
This serum is formulated using ingredients that fall outside of the Malassezia feeding range – allowing it to soothe your baby's delicate skin & scalp without feeding the yeast. No coconut oil. No essential oils. No fragrances.
Suitable for use on the scalp, eyebrows, ears, forehead and other areas affected by infant seb derm.
DIRECTIONS: Apply a few drops to affected areas and gently massage in. Leave on and allow the serum to absorb into the skin. Use daily or as needed. Always patch test before first use.
INGREDIENTS: C8 MCT (Caprylic Triglyceride) Oil*, Olive Squalane Oil, Tocopherol (Vitamin E Oil)**
*Organic ingredient **Plant-based antioxidant widely accepted in organic cosmetics

Frequently Asked Questions
1-2 months. Each 110g jar lasts 44 nights using a pea-sized amount on each foot (2.5g total). Some users (like those with RLS) apply more butter for a month of relief, whereas others use as needed. Store in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness.
Most users feel more relaxed within 15-30 minutes of application. Regular use over 1-2 weeks often yields the best results, especially for those with depleted magnesium levels.
Shizuka Sleep is suitable for children 6 months and older. The gentle, natural ingredients are safe for little ones, and many parents find it helpful for establishing bedtime routines. For children, we recommend applying a tiny amount to the soles of their feet before bedtime. As always, do a small patch test first to ensure no sensitivity, and avoid application on broken skin.
While magnesium is beneficial during pregnancy, we always recommend consulting your healthcare provider before using any new products or while breastfeeding.
Many customers use Shizuka Sleep at night alongside other forms of magnesium taken during the day. However, it's important to note the recommended daily allowance for your age group. Speak to a healthcare provider if you're taking medications, have kidney issues, or have concerns about your total magnesium intake.
Many users report that regular nightly application helps reduce daily anxiety levels. Research suggests that magnesium plays a role in regulating neurotransmitters like GABA and glutamate, alongside regulating the stress response system and cortisol levels. Individual responses can vary.
Apply to clean, dry skin. Common areas include legs, feet, shoulders, neck, and lower back. Avoid broken skin or sensitive areas.
The butter absorbs well into skin, but we recommend allowing 5-10 minutes for complete absorption before dressing or getting into bed.
Our mineral-rich formula may sometimes create a tingling sensation as it interacts with your skin - a sign of the active ingredients at work. Everyone's body responds differently. If you experience any discomfort, pause use and speak with your healthcare provider.
