Soothing Protection for Sensitive Skin
EllaNilla’s Nipple Balm (Lanolin-Free) is specifically formulated to provide gentle and effective care for sensitive areas, offering soothing relief from dryness, cracking, and irritation. This all-natural balm is crafted with a blend of nourishing ingredients, including Cera Alba (Beeswax), Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, and Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter.

Scientific Insights:
The Science Behind Nipple Care
EllaNilla’s Nipple Balm (Lanolin-Free) is formulated with ingredients that are scientifically proven to provide effective care for sensitive skin. Beeswax is recognized for its ability to create a protective, non-comedogenic barrier that locks in moisture without clogging pores (Nong et al., 2023). Cocoa butter and coconut oil are well-known for their emollient properties, which help to soften and moisturize the skin (Gyamfi et al., 2011), (Agero & Verallo-Rowell, 2004). Sweet almond oil is particularly effective in soothing and healing irritated skin, making it ideal for nipple care, especially during the postpartum period (Barman & Verma, 2020).
