When I first saw the signs of cradle cap on my newborn son, I did what any first-time mom would do: I fired up Google. In doing so, I found I came across several What to Expect community pages filled with recommendations for the Tubby Todd All Over Ointment. And, right now, the rarely-on-sale holy grail of baby skincare is discounted during Amazon's Big Spring Sale: a bundle of one 3.5-ounce and one 8-ounce jar is just $49!
Before becoming a mom, I hadn’t heard much about those scaly patches — known officially as seborrheic dermatitis — and wanted something that was gentle and moisturizing for my newborn’s sensitive skin. Tubby Todd’s All Over Ointment addressed my baby’s cradle cap, and it immediately became my go-to any time he had a patch of dry, flaky skin. And, true to its name, the creamy formula works everywhere. After slathering on hand sanitizer for what felt like the millionth time, I loved using it to treat my dry, cracked hands, too. The secret is colloidal oatmeal, a plant-based ingredient that contains the right combo of fats and proteins to soothe skin.
Here are some of the comments that ultimately won me over:
"...it’s like magic when he gets dry patches in the winter," shared one mom. "I even use it on myself when I’m feeling extra dry in the winter."
"It saved my daughters skin as a newborn," wrote another. "She was constantly breaking out everywhere since her skin was so sensitive to everything. She gets really dry skin in the winter so I plan on ordering more asap for her and the next baby to share. You only need a tiny bit so the jars really last."
"I will say my first had awful cradle cap and I bought the ointment from tubby Todd and it helped so much - it’s what I would use on her mild ezema as well and worked so well," added another mom.
But the main takeaway? The All Over Ointment works wonders, but it isn’t cheap. That’s why I was thrilled to see that it was included in Amazon's seasonal savings event. But it isn't the only Tubby Todd product priced at a steal. Parents can also save 15% on its baby-safe mineral sunscreen ($63, $74) and cradle cap kit ($35, $42). Needless to say, I'm stocking up while everything is still on sale!
