nip & lip balm

Delia Wieser (innovation consultant and mum to Matei) and Katharina Griesbacher (designer and mum to Theo and Noah) are the motor behind the Vienna-based Mama Matters. As their name alludes to, their ethos is to bring women experiencing motherhood into the spotlight, empowering them to practice self-care, to feel confident and stay healthy especially in the fragile months after having given birth. Giving birth to a new identity can be as demanding as giving birth to a baby, yet society and healthcare systems mainly focus on how the baby develops. Studies say that women who are informed and educated about the postpartum time and its effects before giving birth have a 50 % lower risk to develop postpartum depression. Their products support the healing process and improve mental wellbeing throughout the third and fourth trimester, and are made of organic, clean and environmentally-kind ingredients.

In their skincare range, Delia and Katharina keep the number of ingredients to the minimum needed for best results and they, generally, keep them fragrance-free – because babies are attracted by their mum’s unadorned body smell and that’s how they recognize and bond with her. This nip & lip balm: 

• moisturizes and supports healing
• it is fragrance-free and promotes skin-to-skin bonding with your baby
• does not need to be washed off before feeding your baby
• it can also be applied to your lips too

apply: to your nipples after every feeding session, as needed. There is no need to wash off before feeding your baby. The balm is also great to apply on your lips or on any other dry areas on your body.
