⭐️ ATTENTION ⭐️

So I’m about to tell you something that happened to me yesterday night, my daughter is 10 weeks old and suffers from cradle cap (like most babies) I bought a shampoo that’s meant to help it called Dentonox from Asda roughly £3 so last night when I was bathing Isabella I got my partner to come in and hold her while I got the shampoo (because I always leave and forget everything 🙄) I put a small amount on my hand and started to rub it in her hair within seconds she started screaming and not just a baby scream it was a gut wrenching cry for help we washed it off straight away and she still wasn’t calming down we quickly released it was burning her scalp!

Her face was covered in a red blotchy rash and scalp was scarlet, I put cold water and ice packs on while my parter phoned 111 we rushed her in thinking she was having an allergic reaction but later on to our horror actually find out that this dentanox contains Hydrochloric acid which BURNED HER SCALP AND FACE!

Do not use this shampoo!!!!

Share share share!! So no other poor baby has to go through this!

After Macklam posted this to Facebook other mums and dads commented on it saying that had also had similar experiences with this shampoo and where surprised they were still allowed to sell them in the shops, however several hundred people commented and said they had no issues with the shampoo and their babies had been fine.

Have you used this shampoo? What’s your thoughts on it, would you still consider using it to clear your child’s cradle cap or be avoiding it in future? Let us know in the comments
