Product Information

Mamas want to know exactly what’s in the food and products they buy. We support that completely, so we’ve sent products to be third party verified for GMOs. We do this to assure consumers, even though we are confident that our products are GMO-free because if it's certified organic you know you are avoiding GMOs: "The USDA National Organic Standards prohibit the use of GMOs in the all label categories (“100% organic”, “organic”, and “made with organic ingredients”)." We know it's confusing, so a growing list of Earth Mama's certified organic products carry the Non-GMO Product Verified label too, for extra assurance! Read more about GMOs here! Niazi, A. et al. (2018). A systematic review on prevention and treatment of nipple pain and fissure: Are they curable? Depending on your personal preferences, choosing a consistency that won't stain your clothes while also feeling good on your skin is essential. From balms and butters to creams and ointments, there is an option to suit your preference. We receive the “My baby ate some Organic Diaper Balm” call from mamas so often it has its own code: Balm911. And we always say the same thing, “We’re not worried.” Read why here.

Be especially wary of products that provide a numbing effect. I know how tempting it can be to numb a sore nipple, but this kind of cream isn’t actually healing anything – it’s just dulling the pain for a little while. Instead, use ice or cool washcloths, because if your nipple is numb, there’s a chance some could still be lingering there when your baby starts feeding – and you don’t want to give your baby a numb mouth accidentally! How to Choose a Nipple Cream We tested over a dozen popular nipple creams, balms, butters, and ointments, including natural and organic options. The most common side effect from using a lanolin nipple cream is an allergic reaction or skin irritation. If this occurs, you should clean off your skin and refrain from using any nipple creams with lanolin. If nipple pain persists, talk with a lactation consultant or your doctor.

Earth Mama’s salves and oils do not contain water so they don't need a preservative to keep them fresh and free from bacteria and mold. Lotions, on the other hand (or knee, or elbow), are made by emulsifying (blending) oils and water. And because of their rich, organic and natural ingredients, they can become a perfect medium for nasty bacteria or mold. To combat that, our 100% organic preservative system is a certified organic alcohol extract of healing and moisturizing organic herbs. Beneficial to you, and safely preserved too! Besides, if breastfeeding starts feeling like torture, you aren’t going to want to do it. If you skip it, you miss out on all those wonderful benefits breastfeeding offers your baby. Does Nipple Cream Affect Baby? The plastic BPA-free PET bottles and jars we use are the safest containers for both our products and our customers. Our containers are colored to keep out harmful UV rays. The PET we use is the most readily recyclable and the safest plastic manufactured. We’ve asked our trusted expert at The Soft Landing to weigh in on our use of PET: “In some cases, PET makes an excellent alternative to glass. PET bottles and jars not only weigh less and recycle well, they provide a necessary measure of safety for products that are carried in diaper bags and stored around the bathtub. PET has been shown to store skincare products containing essential oils remarkably well because it has a high permeability resistance rating. This is necessary because essential oils are powerful substances with a myriad of properties and potencies. When mixed with a carrier (lotion, oil, balm or salve), the essential oil's potency is diluted. While the essential oil’s capacity to infuse the lotion with aroma and herbal attributes is not diminished, its capacity to damage plastic is.”If you don't use synthetic preservatives, what do you use to preserve your products to make sure they are safe and free of bacteria and mold?

Fortunately, we've been reviewing nipple creams for over 10 years. If we made our own, here is what it would look like: However, researchers believe that parabens may disrupt some hormones in the body. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is currently assessing parabens’ safety. It’s a big business. Almost four million babies are born each year in the United States (4), and that translates to a whole lot of sore nipples. It’s typically recommended to apply nipple cream after breastfeeding sessions so the nutrients will have longer to absorb into your skin before your baby latches.
