There are some lanolin products that are absolutely safe for babies.

For example, Sudocrem Antiseptic Healing Cream and Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment both contain lanolin and are safe for most babies.

These products can help to soothe their nappy rash and help to protect their sensitive skin.

However, if you’re ever unsure whether a product is safe for your baby, be sure to speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using the product for the first time.

Some products, like Lansinoh breastfeeding cream, can be used by mums who are breastfeeding.

It’s used to soothe dry, irritated, or cracked nipples, which need a little extra care as you’re breastfeeding.

However, you should always speak to your doctor, pharmacist, or health visitor if you decide to use a new medicated product while you’re breastfeeding, and make sure you follow their or the manufacturer’s instructions carefully when you use it.

Lanolin works as an emollient, and emollients can help to soothe and hydrate eczema-prone skin.

However, some people find that products that contain lanolin can aggravate their eczema, so be aware that although this can work for many people, it may not be right for you.

If you have eczema and need a way to soothe your dry, irritated skin without causing further irritation, speak to your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
