Organic herbs and oils instead of lanolin or petroleum, so it works for wool allergies and vegans. Chosen by hospital NICUs, and it spreads more easily than lanolin when skin is already sore.

Lansinoh Lanolin Nipple Cream
Best overall
One ingredient, ultra-purified lanolin, and you don't wash it off before the next feed. The tube in almost every hospital bag, because it works and nothing about it needs thinking through at 4am.
