Cracks, grazes, dryness, Thrush, Mastitis...it's all bad, and it's all too common for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers. Our Boob Balm is a step above the rest as we harness the power of Manuka Oil. A thousand times more potent than Manuka honey, Manuka Oil is instantly pain-relieving, an anti-inflammatory, to heal cracks fast and calm the skin, anti-bacterial, to help prevent the natural bacteria that lives on your skin from capatalising, including the Mastitis causing bacteria, anti-fungal, to keep the common Thrush infection at bay, which is too easy to spread to your little one, and intensely moisturising.
Use as both a preventative and a treatment for cracked sore nipples, as well as a comfort during pregnancy for those with dry, sensitive breasts.
**We highly recommend preparing and conditioning your skin with Boob Balm in the later weeks of pregnancy, so your breasts are in the best state as possible to begin breastfeeding. And make sure you pack it in your hospital bag. When things go wrong, they go wrong fast, and you really want Boob Balm at hand to help you before things get out of control.

It’s the Manuka Oil in our Boob Balm which really supercharges its healing properties. Manuka Oil is queen of the anti! Antibacterial, antifungal, antiseptic, AND anti-inflammatory. It’s even analgesic, which isn’t an anti, but still in the A’s! Teamed up with Tamanu Oil, which helps make collagen for your skin, healing it and reducing scars, and you have an unbelievable combo. But wait, Boob Balm is jam packed with active ingredients, so it doesn’t stop there. We have Marshmallow Oil for super moisturisation, to help keep those nips supple and prevent cracking, Rosehip Oil for more healing qualities and more moisturising. Then there’s Kanuka Oil, which helps relieve redness, itching and is pain reducing. Throw in some Mango and Kokum Butter, Pomegranate, Avocado and Grapeseed Oil, and you have the superhero of all nipple balms, just begging to save the day.
All our ingredients are 100% natural and vegan.

During Pregnancy: Many women experience itchy, sore or flaky breast discomfort even before baby arrives. Use as needed for comfort, and we recommended to condition your breasts before baby, by applying every few days in the later weeks, preparing your skin for breastfeeding. Pack in the hospital bag!
During Breastfeeding: Apply a small amount to nipples after feeding as both a treatment for sore/damaged nipples, and as a preventative for cracking and infection.
If desired, wipe with a damp cloth or wet wipe before next feed.
Test patch first.
