What Are the Benefits of Lanolin in Skin & Hair Care?

Just like in humans, a sheep's skin has pores that produce oils to hydrate the surface of the body. These oils, called lanolin, have a deep moisturizing effect on human skin and hair. Lanolin is found in cosmetics, skin creams and some moisturizing shampoos. It locks existing moisture into the skin and absorbs additional moisture from the air around it.

Lanolin-based skin creams work well if you have extremely dry skin. Lanolin falls into the lipid-rich emollient class of moisturizers. One of the causes of dry skin is a lack of lipids, which allows water to escape. Lanolin fills in those gaps, preventing future water escape. It is typically mixed with a humectant, which holds moisture to the skin.

Lanolin is one of the ingredients in the most popular lip balms. Its effect is two-fold. The waxy texture allows easy application and even coverage without a mess. This seals the lips and prevents further chapping. Lanolin also absorbs moisture from the air around it, rejuvenating the dry skin tissue and relieving the pain and skin cracking.

Solution: 100% Pure Liquid Lanolin is a powerful moisturizer that can promote smoothness and translucency associated with healthy, youthful skin. Lanolin is remarkably close to our own natural skin oils. It is perfect for use on very dry, rough or chapped skin. Lanolin is a natural oil derived entirely from the fiber of sheep's wool. It is secreted from the skin of sheep and becomes trapped in the sheep's wool, giving protection from rain and moisture. Lanolin is considered a "heavy duty" moisturizer and emollient that promotes healthy, youthful skin.
