This might be a stupid question, why do you need it for your nose then? Despite the original application, the cream is excellent at treating and soothing skin irritation, which can easily happen with nasal pillows (even with the softest gel pillows, our noses weren't made to have something rubbing them all night. ;
Thanks for that, i have rarely had any bother, but I will look for a tube just in case I get some trouble or start breast feeding

But I'm sure I have seen somewhere on this Forum (forgot where) people openly discussing using Lansinoh on their noses. Is Lansinoh OK?
Getting back to Snorzz’s question.
Snorzz,
Regardless that Lansinoh cream was manufactured to be used for mothers who breastfeed, the product is an excellent healing cream and safe to be used on your nostrils. Also, this product will not harm your mask parts.
What you need to avoid are petroleum based products, as they are known to break down the silicone parts of a mask. Hope that helps.

I wonder why people recommend Lansinoh instead of lanolin? It's cheaper to buy it without all of the branding/marketing.

If you read about it that is the ingredient.
Grab a sheep and rub your nose with it.

RE: Lansinoh---Does it Damage mask insert?
I bought my tube of Lansinoh at Walmart in the babies and mothers section. Kind of embarrassing, but it works for me. Broken nose years ago & cartilage juts out in right nostril, pillows irritate it, Lansinoh seems to toughen up that nostril. Pure Lanolin is very stiff, hard to apply, very sticky for a couple of hours, takes an hour or two for skin to soften it, smells a little bad. The Lansinoh is lanolin, but they have mixed something in there to make it spreadable and it doesn't stink.
RE: Lansinoh---Does it Damage mask insert?
There is also pure lanolin in a liquid form, if anyone seeing this thread is interested. I bought mine in the natural personal care section of the grocery store. (btw, Lansinoh used to be a sticky, stinky mess too before they changed to "HPA Lanolin")
RE: Lansinoh---Does it Damage mask insert?
I use 100% lanolin when necessary. It's of a soft wax consistency, amber colored. It does smell. It does smell. There are zero additives. Paid 12 bucks for it at a shop that sells organic foods and herbal stuff I don't care anything about. The essential oils section is huge which I do like. Anyhow, the lanolin is an old old remedy for all sorts of skin ailments. It's gene ally safe for all uses. There are many information websites devoted to the uses of lanolin. I like the stuff.

Someone give me a link to it please.
Yes, you get it in the breastfeeding department at Walmart. It's for sore nipples. Just look up Lansinoh.
It's lanolin. Lana=Latin for "fleece". From sheep. It smells like sheep. The lovely woolly kind. The natural oils of that lovely wool. If you've ever owned an Aran (Scottish fisherman) sweater, that's the smell.
I use it on my nostrils before I go to sleep to keep them from itching in the night and causing me to throw my mask off in wild abandon.
It also smells like the dubbins we used to put on leather ski boots to keep them waterproof.
Altogether, an adventuresome, days of yore, kind of goop.
