New Mother Nursing Balm FAQs
What is New Mother Nursing Balm used for?
Nursing Balm is a traditional remedy for the sore, tender nipples that commonly accompany the early weeks of breastfeeding. Organic Calendula and Marshmallow root are infused into moisturizing beeswax to extract their nourishing constituents, creating a salve that soothes, hydrates, and supports the skin's natural recovery.
Do I need to wipe off the balm before nursing?
No — New Mother Nursing Balm is specifically formulated to be safe for babies, so there's no need to remove it before nursing. This is one of the biggest practical advantages over lanolin or other nursing balms that require wiping off before each feeding.
How do I apply Nursing Balm?
Apply a thin layer to nipples after nursing or pumping. Let absorb for a moment before dressing. You can reapply as often as needed throughout the day and night.
Is Nursing Balm vegan?
The balm contains organic beeswax and is therefore not fully vegan. It is USDA Certified Organic, gluten-free, non-GMO, paraben-free, preservative-free, phthalate-free, and never tested on animals.
What are the key ingredients in Nursing Balm?
Organic Calendula flower and organic Marshmallow root infused into organic beeswax, organic Jojoba oil, and organic Camelina oil. Calendula is prized for its soothing and skin-supporting properties; Marshmallow root is deeply moisturizing and calming to irritated tissue.
Is this different from lanolin-based nipple creams?
Yes. Conventional nipple creams are often lanolin-based — a derivative of wool that doesn't suit everyone and requires removal before nursing. WishGarden's Nursing Balm is USDA Organic, plant-based (except for beeswax), and requires no pre-nursing wiping.
