Nipple Cream MEDELA Purelan 37 g Lanolin — medical-grade lanolin for breastfeeding care

MEDELA Purelan 37 g is a medical-grade lanolin nipple cream designed to soothe, protect and moisturize sore, cracked or dry nipples during breastfeeding. Formulated from high-purity lanolin, the cream creates a breathable protective barrier that supports skin recovery and allows safe application between feeds without removal. The compact 37 g tube is suitable for daily use and for keeping in a changing bag or bedside drawer.

Advantages

Purelan contains purified lanolin that delivers intensive moisture and creates a thin protective layer on the nipple area. The formulation is designed to be gentle on sensitive skin and safe for both mother and baby when left on the skin during breastfeeding. Because it is medical-grade and minimally processed, the product aims to support faster regeneration of cracked or irritated skin while maintaining skin elasticity and comfort.

Suitable for

• Breastfeeding mothers with sore, cracked or dry nipples
• Mothers who need a product safe to leave on between feeds
• Daily nipple and areola moisturization during lactation
• Areas requiring a breathable protective barrier to aid skin recovery

When it may not be suitable

Purelan is based on lanolin and is not suitable for people with a known allergy to wool-derived lanolin. If symptoms such as severe pain, redness, swelling or signs of infection occur, consult a healthcare professional for assessment rather than relying solely on topical treatment. For non-lactating skin conditions or where a medicated treatment is needed, alternative therapies may be more appropriate.

How to use

What to consider before purchase
