Relief for sore nipples — without anything you wouldn't want near your baby.
Best for: sore, cracked or sensitive nipples, especially in the early days
Sore nipples in the early days of breastfeeding are one of the most common reasons mums consider stopping. This balm is designed to take the edge off — quickly, gently and safely. Made with just five naturally derived ingredients including shea butter, coconut oil and vitamin E, it soothes soreness, creates a protective barrier and supports healing between feeds. Lanolin-free, so it works for anyone avoiding animal-derived products. And crucially: safe to use without wiping off before a feed, which means one less thing to remember at 3am.
Is this right for you?
Choose this if you want a clean, simple nipple balm with no lanolin. Five ingredients, nothing unnecessary, safe to leave on before a feed.
Skip this if you need something with a more targeted healing action for cracked or broken skin — consider pairing with the Baby Shell Nipple Protectors alongside this.
Why it works
- Soothes and protects sore, cracked nipples between feeds
- Just five naturally derived ingredients — nothing unnecessary
- Lanolin-free — suitable for vegan and sensitive skin
- Safe to use without removing before feeding
- Rich but gentle — moisturises deeply without feeling heavy
Why it's a Latchette favourite
I chose this because the ingredient list is so clean it's almost refreshing. Five ingredients, no filler, no lanolin. It's the kind of product you don't need to think twice about using — which is exactly what you need when you're in the thick of early breastfeeding.
