LANSINOH
is a highly refined pure lanolin used
by breastfeeding women to soothe sore
nipples. |
|
| |
 |
What
advantages does LANSINOH offer over
other topicals? |
|
| |
 |
There
are several important features, which
make LANSINOH the preferred topical treatment
for breastfeeding mothers: |
|
| |
 |
LANSINOH
does not have to be removed prior to
breastfeeding thus eliminating further
handling of already damaged tissue. LANSINOH
is completely natural, non-toxic and
contains no preservatives, BHT (Butyl
Hydroxy Toulene), fragrance, or additives
of any kind. |
|
| |
 |
LANSINOH
is hypoallergenic and will not irritate
even sensitive skin. It has only one
ingredient - ultra purified lanolin. |
|
| |
 |
LANSINOH
is not chemically bleached, unlike paler
lanolin’s and products which contain
white beeswax and white paraffin. |
|
| |
 |
LANSINOH
does not alter the pH balance of the
skin, thus preserving nature's own protective
acid mantle. |
|
| |
 |
LANSINOH
has little taste or odour to bother the
baby. However, many other products used
on nipples do have an offensive taste,
smell or aftertaste and you can test
for this by rubbing the product into
the back of your hand and licking it
off. |
|
|
| |
 |
LANSINOH
is the only medical grade lanolin formulated
specifically for use on damaged nipples
and backed by extensive clinical and laboratory
testing. No other lanolin’s for nipple
care have this backing. |
|
| |
 |
LANSINOH
is bacteriostatic. LANSINOH was independently
tested on a 30 and a 60 day USP Challenge
for bacterial growth. Staphylococcus
aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida
albicans, Aspergillus niger and Escherichia
coli were deliberately introduced to
LANSINOH and in each case the bacteria
failed to multiply. Unbroken skin is
the best barrier to infection. Because
LANSINOH promotes faster healing, it
may prevent some secondary infections. |
|
| |
 |
LANSINOH
does not clog pores or milk ducts nor
does it interfere with lactation in any
way. Unlike products which contain oils
and paraffin derivatives, LANSINOH is
a natural ester, like our own skin sebum,
and it is completely absorbed within
minutes of application. |
|
| |
 |
LANSINOH
has a complete Certificate of Analysis
available for every batch of LANSINOH. |
|
| |
 |
LANSINOH
provides a semi-occlusive moisture barrier
that slows the evaporation of the body's
internal moisture while allowing oxygen
transfer to occur. When the proper moisture
balance has been regained, the fissure
will resolve because the delicate tissue
has been rehydrated from within. This
is nature's moisturizing process. |
