Frequently asked questions
Is this cream safe for sensitive skin?
Yes, Purelan is crafted with a 100% natural, single-ingredient formula. Because it contains absolutely no additives, preservatives, or fragrances, it is exceptionally gentle and safe for even the most delicate skin.
Can I use this for more than just nursing?
Absolutely. While it is a staple for nursing care, its multi-purpose formula is highly effective for a variety of skin needs, including:
- Treating chapped lips
- Softening dry cuticles and elbows
- Hydrating cracked heels
- Soothing windburn on infants during outdoor activities
How does this provide a protective barrier?
The cream features a rich, emollient texture that works in two ways:
- External Barrier: It forms a protective layer on the surface of the skin to shield against harsh environmental conditions like cold, dry weather.
- Deep Rehydration: It penetrates the skin to lock in natural moisture from within.
Is this formula truly free of chemicals?
Yes. Purelan is made of high-purity lanolin only. It is a minimalist, single-ingredient product, ensuring it is entirely free from synthetic chemicals that often cause irritation.
Is it easy to carry this in my bag?
Yes, this 0.25 oz (7g) tube is designed for maximum portability. Its compact, squeeze-tube design makes it an essential item to keep in a diaper bag, purse, or travel kit for on-the-go hydration.
Do I need to wash it off before breastfeeding?
Purelan is specifically designed for nursing mothers. Because it is 100% natural and free of additives, it is formulated to be safe for your baby during breastfeeding, though we recommend applying a thin layer after nursing sessions to allow the cream to work effectively.
Will this help my baby's dry skin?
Yes. Due to its natural, chemical-free composition, it is perfectly suited for infant skin care. It acts as a gentle shield, making it an excellent choice for protecting a baby’s face or cheeks from windburn during outdoor strolls in cold weather.
How do I best apply this cream?
For optimal results, apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin. The cream is highly concentrated, so a small amount goes a long way in providing relief and moisture to affected areas.
Is the cream scent-free?
Yes, it is completely unscented. There are no added fragrances or masking scents, which is ideal for those who prefer pure, neutral skin care or for individuals with sensitivities to scented products.
Is this considered a professional-grade product?
Yes. Medela is a trusted name in neonatal and maternal care. This product is factory new and maintains a medical-grade aesthetic, ensuring that the lanolin used is of the highest purity for effective skin recovery and maintenance.
