does it need to be washed off before nursing?

The other responses are correct! There is no need to wash off Motherlove's Nipple Cream before nursing. All of the ingredients are 100% USDA Certified Organic and are safe for consumption.

What are the ingredients?

Extra virgin olive oil, beeswax , shea butter, marshmallow root and calendula flower. All are certified organic ingredients. I hope this answers your question.

What sort of consistency is this salve?

Motherlove’s Nipple Cream is an extra virgin olive oil-based salve that we thicken with beeswax. Since we use only natural ingredients, the consistency of the product may vary. We use organic beeswax as a thickener and, as a result, the texture can change depending on where the bees live, what they are feeding on, and how their wax is harvested. Rest assured, even if the texture may seem different at times, the product has the same award-winning formula moms have come to know and trust.

Aside from handwashing, how do you prevent bacteria from growing in container? LC advises against jars because of this risk

Washing hands before applying each time is a great practice. Since Motherlove's Nipple Cream does not contain water and is comprised only of shea butter, beeswax and olive oil, this creates an anaerobic environment, which is very difficult for bacteria to grow on.

Must have for first time moms!

As a first-time mom, I can’t recommend Motherlove Nipple Cream enough. I used this religiously during the first few months of nursing, and it truly worked wonders. I never had issues with soreness or cracking, and it gave me peace of mind knowing it’s completely safe for baby—no need to wipe off before nursing.The balm is smooth, unscented, and soothing—perfect for dry, sensitive skin. After a few months, I no longer needed it, but I always recommend it to new moms and even gift it at baby showers. It’s gentle, effective, and honestly a lifesaver in those early days!

ONE OF THE BEST!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I thought my last nipple butter was great , but this one is a lifesaver!! My newborn had the worst latch ever which caused my nipples to crack a lot and bleed to the point where my milk was turning red when I started to pump. My lactation lady recommended this and I was back going within 2 days. Sadly during that time I had to supplement. Now I use this before and after pumping and I’ve had no problems with cracked nips.

Velvety smooth with instant relief!

I’ve been struggling to find a good cream to use while exclusively pumping. This cream is fantastic!! It is so velvety smooth and easy to apply. You don’t need to warm it in your fingers like other brands - it isn’t sticky or messy. Instant relief too! Can’t recommend it enough.

This is a must have!

Best cream ever! Esp in the winter/dry months. I use this for pumping and also as a moisturizer for my lips as my lip balms seem to grow legs.

Nice

I really did like this balm, but the yellow color stains really bad. I switched to a different brand and it also stains some but not quite so bad.

#1 recommended Nipple Cream! I love love love it!

The best nipple cream!!! I used to use lanolin, but since trying this out, oh I won’t be going back!! I put it on after nursing, before pumping, and anytime they become dry in between. A little goes a long way!! I’ve even used it in my child’s bum because it was slightly red from the pampers diapers, and it calmed that slight irritation with no negative side effects. Highly recommend for any breastfeeding mama!!
