Smarter decisions start here.
We analyze the details that matter to parents so you don't have to.
We take what's most important for a product to determine the TrustScore score. Here's our research:
Why: Formulated from six organic ingredients (olive fruit oil, beeswax, cocoa seed butter, shea butter, mango seed butter, calendula flower extract), all certified organic. Holds USDA Certified Organic, Oregon Tilth Certified Organic, and Non-GMO Project Verified certifications. Lanolin-free, and explicitly does not require wiping off before nursing, indicating the formula is considered safe for direct infant ingestion/contact. This represents 30% of the total score.
Why: Designed for frequent use (after each feeding or as needed) without interrupting the nursing routine, since no removal is required beforehand. Non-sticky, non-greasy texture aids ease of application. Customer reviews commonly cite effectiveness in soothing sore and cracked nipples as a primary reason for satisfaction. This represents 25% of the total score.
Why: Dermatologist tested for irritation and reviewed as non-greasy with a clean feel and pleasant scent, which supports comfort during frequent use on sensitive, already-irritated skin. Score is moderated by at least one reported case of itching/burning irritation among reviewers, indicating a small minority may react poorly to the botanical ingredients (e.g., calendula, cocoa/shea butter allergens). This represents 20% of the total score.
Why: At our store's price of $13.99, the product is positioned as an affordable specialty balm. Practicality is boosted by its multi-use versatility (nipple care, pump flanges, lips, cheeks, heels, cuticles, elbows), extending its utility well beyond a single-purpose nursing product and improving cost-per-use value. This represents 15% of the total score.
Why: Holds a 4.8/5 average rating across 352 reviews, with recurring praise for effectiveness, texture, and safety for nursing use. Negative feedback is limited to a single report of skin irritation, representing a small fraction of the overall review volume. This represents 10% of the total score.
