Nipple Balm

$12.95

 

Breastfeeding, if you choose to do it, can be a magical time, but what’s not quite so magical is the sore, cracked nipples that come with it! That’s why we created the GAIA Skin Naturals Nipple Balm, a nourishing balm to moisturise, soothe, and protect your sensitive areas. If you're looking for additional skincare for your baby, a Cradle Cap Cream can be just as essential during their early days.

You don’t even have to wait until the baby is born to start using this incredible balm. Apply it during pregnancy to prepare your nipples for the demands of breastfeeding and, once your little bundle of joy has arrived, you can use it after each feed to make sure the nipple area is in a good condition for them to latch onto.

FAQs

What is GAIA Nipple Balm?

GAIA Nipple Balm is a nourishing, organic balm designed to moisturise, soothe, and protect sore or cracked nipples during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It’s formulated 100% Natural origin ingredients, with organic oils like sunflower, avocado, jojoba, and calendula, and is free from lanolin, petrochemicals, and mineral oils.

Can I use GAIA Nipple Balm during pregnancy?

Absolutely. Apply during pregnancy to prepare your nipples for the demands of breastfeeding. Once your baby arrives, use it after each feed to keep the nipple area in good condition for latching.

How do I use GAIA Nipple Balm?

During pregnancy: Apply to nipples to prepare for breastfeeding.

After birth: Use after every feed to soothe and protect.

Extra tip: It can also be used on dry lips or heels for added hydration.

Why is GAIA Nipple Balm lanolin‑free?

We chose to exclude lanolin from the GAIA Nipple Balm because many parents prefer a plant‑based, low‑allergen alternative for nipple care. While lanolin works well for some, others may experience sensitivity or irritation, especially if they have wool allergies.

By formulating the balm with pure, edible organic oils like sunflower, avocado, jojoba, and calendula, GAIA offers a gentle, highly nourishing option that is safe to leave on while breastfeeding and suitable for parents seeking lanolin‑free or more naturally derived products.

Is GAIA Nipple Balm safe for breastfeeding?

Yes! GAIA Nipple Balm is made from pure, edible natural and organic oils, so there’s no need to rinse before feeding. It’s safe for both mum and baby.

Is GAIA Nipple Balm cruelty-free and vegan?

GAIA Nipple Balm is cruelty-free and Australian-made, but it contains organic beeswax, so it’s not vegan-friendly.

Do I need to wash it off before breastfeeding?

No. The GAIA Nipple Balm does not need to be rinsed off before feeding.
