Guest guest Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 I was not sure how else to title this...but what I am wondering if anyone had any comments on a cream I want to make my daughter who is 12 weeks pregnant. In doing some research on websites for breastfeeding, I found a cream called Lansinoh which is supposedly 100% anhydrous lanolin. I was wondering if it would be good to make the cream with anhydrous lanolin, jojoba oil, and a little aloe vera? I am sure most women know what she is complaing with if you have ever been pregnant LOL! I would appreciate any feedback. Thank you Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never cared for the sticky lanolin personally and I make my own balms and other products for pregnancy and after specific to the needs I see. What is the purpose of the " cream " you want to make? Is it simply to help protect and moisturize skin that is rapidly expanding? If so you may want to think about a body oil, lotion, or butter balm. Regarding the Lanisnoh many hospitals send moms home with it and it is the number one seller for a nursing ointment of it's kind. It is popular partly for it's safe use for mom's who's baby's are nursing. It's very sticky.

Elizabeth Whole Life Essentials Thank you Elizabeth.....she is getting very itchy and the skin is getting very tight. In reading.....it seemed that the lanolin would help keep the skin soft.

A little is used around the nipples and it creates a kind of barrier and is healing cracked skin. If this is more for the breasts and pregnancy I would make a creamy balm or a body oil. Women can feel very sensitive to scents in pregnancy and skin can be more sensitive, so if you use an essential oils make sure that they are considered safe and that you scent lightly. Shea butter and cocoa butters are nice in body butters. Infused vanilla adds a nice warmth without being overwhelming. Virgin coconut oil, cocoa butter, and infused vanilla all add a warm sweetness that is not overwhelming.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Not only is the lansinoh sticky (although it does thin a bit with the body heat), it stains! It is not something you'd want touching another part of your body that doesn't protect your clothes with nursing pads!

Shea is very good for the skin, and although I'm past that age,hehe...I have customers that tell me that my whipped shea butter helps soften and reduce the likelyhood of stretch marks. It has helped my dry skaley legs though<G>! Anita in TX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
