Is Tender Care Repair safe to use while breastfeeding?

Yes. Shea butter and shea oil are safe, natural, and plant-based. For nipple care, apply after nursing and gently cleanse the nipple area before the next feeding. Many mothers prefer this simple two-ingredient formula over commercial products with multiple additives.

Can I use Tender Care Repair for perineal healing after birth?

Yes, once any open wounds have begun healing and with your healthcare provider's approval. The breathable barrier helps protect sensitive healing tissue while the natural properties of shea support the repair process. Apply with clean hands as needed for comfort.

When can I use Tender Care Repair on my C-section incision?

Wait until your incision is fully closed and healed — typically 2–3 weeks postpartum, but always follow your healthcare provider's specific guidance. Once healed, regular application can help keep scar tissue supple and may support improved appearance over time.

How long does it take to make Tender Care Repair?

Just 15 minutes of active time — the fastest of any Baraka kit. You warm the shea butter, stir in the shea oil, and allow to cool. No whipping required. Perfect for exhausted new parents who need simple, meaningful results quickly.

What essential oils can I add to Tender Care Repair?

Lavender, chamomile, and helichrysum are gentle, safe choices — use just 2–3 drops total maximum. Avoid peppermint, clove, cinnamon, and tea tree for this use. For nipple care specifically, consider skipping essential oils entirely.

How long does the finished Tender Care Repair balm last?

When stored in a clean, sterilized, airtight container in a cool, dry place, your finished balm stays fresh for 6–12 months. The raw ingredients last 2+ years stored properly. Making smaller batches more frequently ensures the freshest formula.

Is Tender Care Repair a good gift for a new mother?

It is a genuinely thoughtful and meaningful gift. New mothers deeply appreciate knowing exactly what is in their postpartum care products. The 100g or 250g sizes make enough for a meaningful gift jar plus personal use.

Does buying Tender Care Repair support the women in Ghana?

Yes. Every Tender Care Repair purchase supports fair trade women's cooperatives in Northern Ghana who handcraft both the shea butter and the shea oil.
