Quick answer
Apply a pea-sized amount of Renewing Nipple + Lip Balm to clean, dry skin and gently massage until absorbed. Use after nursing or whenever lips feel dry—no need to rinse before feeding.
Why this balm works for both nipples and lips
The balm uses calendula, a gentle botanical known for soothing irritated skin, and its non-sticky formula absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy film. This makes it practical for frequent reapplication on sensitive areas like nipples during breastfeeding or chapped lips in dry weather.
Because it’s designed for multi-use, you can keep one tube in your diaper bag and another by your bedside—no need to switch products between nursing sessions and lip care.
When to apply for best results
For nipples, apply right after each nursing session while the skin is still slightly damp from milk or moisture—this helps lock in hydration. For lips, use as needed throughout the day, especially after washing your face or before bed.
Avoid applying to broken or bleeding skin without consulting a healthcare provider. The balm is safe for baby if ingested, but it’s best to let it absorb for a minute before latching.
Step-by-step application guide
- Clean the area: Gently wash your nipples or lips with warm water and pat dry with a soft cloth. Avoid soap on nipples if you’re breastfeeding—it can strip natural oils. Dry skin absorbs balm better than damp skin, but a little moisture helps it spread evenly.
- Squeeze a pea-sized amount: Start with a small dab—about the size of a pea. You can always add more if needed. Too much balm can feel heavy and may transfer to clothing or baby. A common mistake is using too much; a little goes a long way.
- Massage gently until absorbed: Using clean fingertips, massage the balm into the skin in small circles. For nipples, focus on the areola and nipple tip. For lips, cover the entire lip surface. Don’t rub vigorously—gentle pressure is enough to help it melt in.
- Wait 30 seconds before feeding or eating: Allow the balm to fully absorb so it doesn’t transfer to baby’s mouth or your food. If you’re nursing, this short pause also gives your nipple a moment of relief. No need to wipe off; the balm is safe if ingested.
- Reapply as needed: For nipples, reapply after every nursing session or whenever they feel dry. For lips, reapply throughout the day, especially after eating, drinking, or going outside in cold wind. Consistency matters—regular use prevents dryness from returning.
