The Lansinoh HPA® Lanolin Nipple Cream (40ml) is a single-ingredient nipple cream made to soothe, moisturise and protect dry, sore or sensitive nipples through breastfeeding. Made from 100% HPA® (Highly Purified Anhydrous) Lanolin, this breastfeeding nipple cream moisturises, protects and conditions the skin, helping it hold onto moisture during the tender early weeks of feeding and beyond.
It is completely taste and smell free, so there is no need to wipe it off before the next feed. The formula is 100% natural with no preservatives or additives, is naturally hypoallergenic and is approved by the British Allergy Foundation. That combination is what makes it usable so simply as part of a feeding routine, rather than something extra to manage between feeds.
How it works
- Skin-like lipids: Lanolin is a natural wax whose structure is very similar to the lipids found in our own skin, which is why it works so well as an emollient and moisturiser.
- Locks in moisture: It forms a stable emulsion with the water already in the skin, helping to slow moisture evaporation and keep the skin conditioned between feeds.
- Protective layer: Applied to the nipple, it sits as a gentle barrier that helps protect the skin while feeding continues.
Key Ingredients

What it does: Replenishes the skin's natural lipids and helps it retain moisture, so nipples stay conditioned and protected. Why it works: HPA stands for Highly Purified Anhydrous — an ultra-refined, water-free grade of lanolin that exceeds the lanolin quality standards of the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph.Eur.) and United States Pharmacopoeia (USP), and contains nothing but the lanolin itself. |
More than a nipple cream
While it is best known for nipple care, this cream is used in many other ways around the home. It can be applied to comfort sensitive skin, nappy rash, itchy stretch marks and dry skin patches, and it doubles as a naturally moisturising lip balm — which makes the 40ml tube a practical one to keep in the nappy bag.
How to Use
Apply a pea-sized amount after every feed, or as required, to keep the nipples moisturised and protected in between feeds. Because it is taste and smell free, there is no need to remove it before your baby feeds again.
Disclaimer
Some tenderness can be normal in the early days of breastfeeding, but a topical cream cannot address why pain is happening. If you experience pain at every feed, cracking, bleeding, a breast that stays red or swollen, fever or flu-like symptoms, please reach out to a lactation consultant or your healthcare provider for assessment.
