What else do people use HPA® Lanolin for?

We are always hearing from mums that our HPA® Lanolin is great for soothing sore and cracked nipples during breastfeeding. What do you do when your breastfeeding journey has finished and you still have some of that ‘miracle cream’ remaining?

Over the years, our mums have told us about many different ways in which they have used our HPA® Lanolin. We’ve highlighted some uses below:

For Mum

For a number of weeks our HPA® Lanolin will have been just for you. Why should that change when you no longer require its soothing and protecting qualities on your nipples? Here are just a few ways other mums have found ways to give themselves some TLC.

Lip Balm

Lanolin has been used as a moisturising agent for centuries. It has been used in cosmetics for a number of years too, so it’s no surprise that it can help you keep your lips smooth and moisturised.

Cracked Heels

As a new mum you can end up walking a fair few miles trying to soothe your little one to sleep in their pushchair or sling. Take care of cracked heels by applying a small layer of HPA® Lanolin before bed and let it works its magic.

Ragged Cuticles

If your nail care routine has gone out of the window since having your little one, HPA® Lanolin can be used to give your cuticles some TLC and to soften them before cutting.

Brow Balm

We all know that the right eyebrows make a huge difference to your face but did you realise that you don’t need to spend ££’s on your eyebrow products? Save on an eyebrow balm and use a small amount of HPA® Lanolin to smooth your brows into place.

For Dad

If your partner already helps himself to your toiletries stash you might not want to show him the benefits of our HPA® Lanolin for him. Saying that, our list below could also come in handy when you’re wondering what products you can use from your changing bag on the go!

Sunburn and Peeling

Sunburn can happen to any of us. We’ve personally found that partners and our Dads often need reminding the most about sunscreen. You now have a product on hand for the times they’ve forgotten or ignored advice. You only need a small layer. For severe sunburn speak to a healthcare professional or pharmacist for advice.

Shaving Cuts

Many men use aftershave when they have a shaving cut. They could save themselves the stinging pain by using a small amount of our HPA® Lanolin.

Red Noses from Colds

If your partner is suffering from man flu and their nose is sore, a small amount of HPA® Lanolin will help protect and soothe the area.

Chaffing

If you or your partner enjoy jogging or suffer from chaffing, HPA® Lanolin can be used to support the healing process. Don’t forget to air the area too.

For Baby

Your baby’s latch can be one of the key reasons you turn to our HPA® Lanolin. One of its greatest benefits is that you don’t have to remove it before breastfeeding. There are other uses for baby that mum’s have discovered over the years too.

Nappy Rash

Our HPA® Lanolin has the same consistency as a number of barrier balms and as a one ingredient product, you have the reassurance that you know what is going on baby’s skin.

Dribble Rash

Our little ones often start with the signs of teething long before any teeth actually arrive and with that, they can often develop a dribble rash on their chin, neck and chest. Our HPA® Lanolin can help protect and soothe the area.

Scraped Knees

HPA® Lanolin can be used to soothe and protect areas where there has been some light skin breakage. For large wounds, consult a healthcare professional for advice on how best to help the area heal.

For Teenagers

When your little baby hits their teens you’ll be faced with a number of new challenges. From guiding them on how to make the best life decisions to giving them more responsibility. Did you know that HPA® Lanolin can be used to treat some common teen problems?

Acne Scars

Acne can be one of the biggest challenges you face when puberty hits and scarring is common. HPA® Lanolin can be used to treat areas where there are acne scars and offer additional moisture.

Dry Skin

Dry skin can be a common problem as hormones change (as you might vividly remember from pregnancy too!). Due to the moisturising properties of HPA® Lanolin it can be used to treat problem areas in the same way you might use a skin balm.

Please note that Lansinoh have not ran tests on the above uses. If you have any concerns or underlying skin issues, speak to the relevant healthcare professional before introducing new products to your routine.
