What makes our nipple cream unique

1.

LANOLIN

Lanolin is a widely used ingredient in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries and for good reason! Lanolin has tremendous moisturising properties, and when mixed with oil (in our case olive oil), it is great at penetrating the skin.

2.

OLIVE OIL

Humble olive oil contains antioxidants, vitamins, and fatty acids! This unassuming ingredient nourishes and moistures dry skin. The fatty acids within the olive oil help hydrate the skin and keep it healthy.

3.

BENZOIN COMPOUND TINCTURE

Styrax Benzoin extract has a long history of use as an antiseptic. Benzoin extract has soothing properties and forms an invisible film over the skin that prevents moisture loss.
