Q: Is this good for severely, dry, cracked lips? I'm extremely sick, bedridden for years, I'm dehydrated & a lot of meds don't help. I'm looking for some-thing as fab as Dr Lipp Nipple Balm. Any advic?
A: I use this product on my lips nightly after my shower and it works amazingly for preventing chapped lips! I work outside in the weather a lot and it is a lifesaver. Occasionally, I will apply it again in the morning. I am sure it would help protect them so they could heal if they were already chapped.
submitted byRubysquirrel - 8 years agoA: I've never used this for my lips, but I would think it would do the trick. Have you tried aquafor?
submitted bymotherof1 - 8 years agoA: I use this as lip balm and find it to stay on and hydrate better than aquafor.

Q: What is the full ingredients list on this?
A: The Lansinoh HPA Lanolin is a single ingredient product comprised 100% of Lanolin. It's safe for mom and baby, 100% natural and hypoallergenic. The unique refining process ensures a pure, high-quality product, with no preservatives, parabens, fragrance, or taste. It is recommended to apply the Lanolin after breastfeeding, instead of before, so that it has time to absorb into the skin. The NDC information indicated in a prior response was for Lansinoh's discontinued Diaper Rash Cream, not the HPA Lanolin.

Q: Can I use it if I’m pregnant and the my nipples are sore
A: Hi Laura, thank you for your question. Lansinoh Lanolin replenishes the essential lipids of the skin, repairing the skin’s natural barrier function to soothe and protect sore nipples. While our Lanolin can be used while pregnant, it is not designed to heal sore nipples. You can also try our Breast Therapy Packs as well. If you have any other questions or need recommendations on products, please send an email to customerservice@lansinoh.com. Thank you.

Q: does this work if you breastfeed and babie has the thrash? will it help with the thrash on the breast?
A: Hello Jane, Thank you for your questions. While Lansinoh Lanolin Nipple Cream is bacteriostatic and won’t promote new growth; it does form a partially occlusive barrier, so it is not recommended that you use lanolin when you have thrush.

A: Hello Soha, thank you for your question. Each tube of our Lanolin Nipple Cream is stamped with an expiration date at the crimped end of the tube in the format EXP MM YY. For example, EXP 12 21 would mean that the Lanolin expires in December of 2021. Each tube has a shelf life of 36 months. We hope this helps!
