Earth Mama Angel Baby Natural Nipple Butter

Earth Mama Angel Baby Natural Nipple Butter has high marks for its effectiveness to battle the wars of breastfeeding and also safety do so for both mama and baby! First, a little about the business. There is actually a mama behind Earth Mama! Her name is Melinda Olson and she is a nurse, herbalist, and real mom who strives to provide safe and natural products to moms and babies! Her story is an interesting one, and you can read more about it here.




Earth Mama Angel Baby's Natural Nipple Butter is an herbal breastfeeding nipple cream that has been through the ringer for testing to ensure its safety for both mom and baby without needing to wipe it off prior to feeding. It is lanolin-free which I felt was important due to concerns of allergies to lanolin (it is essential the sebum, or oil, of sheep). The cream is not so much a cream in the literal sense, but when used, it is almost like a buttery oil.  It's sort of like of bar of butter if you took your finger and dragged it across the top, you get all the oils on your finger. It's a similar experience with this cream. It doesn't create a sticky mess and after applying it to your nipples, if you have extra, you can apply it anywhere else on your body! I used this on my dry lips and cuticles and it worked really well!! I've read other use it for dry heels, elbows, and even on breast pump flanges to increase comfort during pumping.


It's important to use a nipple cream that really hydrates your abused nipples during  breastfeeding. This cream goes on smooth without leaving your hands smelly or stick afterwards. I haven't had any irritation using this cream and love it so far!

Best by date on the bottom of the jar

The natural nipple butter is the first non-GMO project verified nipple cream on the market! You can read all about their certifications and process on their website here. It is also rated one on EWG's skin deep cosmetics database; however, I did note that it is based on limited data. So take that as you will but in conjunction with the thorough testing that this company voluntarily puts this nipple butter through coupled with their non-GMO certifications, the EWG rating is just the cherry on top even if it is based on limited data.


Natural Ingredients:
Olea europaea (organic olive) oil, Theobroma cacao (organic cocoa) seed butter, Butyrospermum parkii (organic shea) butter, Euphorbia cerifera (candelilla) wax, Mangifera indica (mango) butter, Calendula officinalis (organic calendula) flower extract

I did have an issue with my container with it being very oily on the outside and around the threads of the lid when I got my nipple butter in the mail. After asking about whether or not that was normal, they happily are sending me a replacement and I didn't even ask for one! They say it is typically stable and that this issue is not one that comes up often but if it's in the summer, this is one thing to watch out for. Rest assured, though, if you have any issues, they will happily remedy the issue promptly! Can't say the same with some very known brands out there!
