Breast feeding is nature’s way to feed your baby. Don’t let dry, cracked nipples discourage you from your special time to bond with and nourish the life that grew within your body.  

Aleva Naturals Nursing balm helps moisturize nipples during the last trimester of pregnancy and soothe painfully cracked nipples once you begin nursing.

A baby-friendly plant-based alternative to Lanolin, Aleva Naturals Nursing balm is safe for you and your newborn and free of animal by-products, perfumes, parabens and petrochemicals. Its rich blend of natural and organic oils includes:

• Natural Cocoa Butter – provides a thick, highly moisturizing coating that protects sore nipples and keeps skin soft and supple
• Natural Castor Oil – rich in fatty acids that soothe and heal, attracts moisture to soothe dried nipples
• Vitamin E, an antioxidant-rich emollient – acts as a free radical scavenger, keeps older skin young by hindering oxidization and protecting delicate skin, keeps skin soft and supple, promotes healing, reduces cracking and irritation
• Certified Organic Olive Oil – gently soothes and moisturizes delicate parched skin. Extra-virgin olive oil is rich in powerful natural antioxidants known as Polyphenols and amino acid derivatives.
