NIP BALM - NIPPLE BUTTER

INGREDIENTS

1. Modified Lanolin
   Lanolin is a yellow fat obtained from sheep's wool. It has traditionally been used topically to treat sore, cracked nipples during breastfeeding. Highly purified lanolin products (e.g., HPA lanolin, Lansinoh) have the pesticide and detergent residues removed and the natural free alcohols reduced to below 1.5% to improve safety and reduce the allergic potential. Lanolin is effective for the prevention and treatment of nipple pain during breastfeeding, but not as a preventative initiated before delivery.
   
2. Saquez Pistacia Atlantica
   Saquez (Pistacia atlantica, from the Anacardiaceae family),is an oleoresin obtained by scratching the trunks of Baneh trees. It contains flavonoids and flavonoid glycosides, triterpenoids and phenolic compounds with strong antioxidant and antimicrobial properties and thus, cures wounds. Research has shown that saqez ointment is more effective than breast milk in healing nipple fissure and reducing nipple pain in lactating women. In addition, it had more marked effects in controlling and curing nipple fissures compared to breast milk.
   
3. Euterpe oleracea (acai) sterols
