LanoSkin - Merino Wool Lanolin, Natural Emollient

Lanolin is a natural secretion produced by the sebaceous glands found in the sheep skin. The Lanolin naturally coats the wool fibers creating a protective layer that provides both the sheep’s skin and fleece with an inherent defense against prolonged exposure to environmental stressors. 

Humans domesticated sheep over 11,000 years ago, making them the second oldest domesticated animals after dogs. Since then people have made full use of what sheep provide, and Lanolin's long history reflects its enduring value across many cultures, from ancient remedies to modern uses. 

Seasonal shearings are essential to relieve sheep of their warm, heavy wool, supporting their health and well-being while producing lanolin as a naturally occurring raw resource obtained without harm to the animals; a genuinely green, renewable and  sustainably sourced material. 

Lanolin sensitivities and allergic reactions are extremely rare. Studies consistently show incidence rates in the range of 1 per 10 million, which is why it has been relied upon for generations in both household and agricultural settings; and its ability to perform under demanding conditions, continuing to deliver results where conventional products fall short, especially in cases of severe dryness, repeated exposure, and compromised skin.

LanoSkin has been carefully refined to preserve its Lanolin's natural structure and function, resulting in a stable, highly effective product with a consistent three year shelf life; safe for all ages, and suitable for use on lips, face, hands, and full body, and gentle enough for frequent use across sensitive areas.

Being 100% pure, unaltered pharmaceutical-grade Merino wool lanolin, with no chemical modification, dilution, natural or synthetic additives, LanoSkin mirrors the structure of human skin lipids, allowing it to be absorbed effectively deep into the skin rather than sitting on the surface like other petroleum based products.  

LanoSkin provides two essential levels of restoration and protection by delivering deep, long-lasting hydration and replenishing depleted lipids within the skin, and forming a breathable, semi-occlusive layer and helping support the skin's natural barrier function. This reduces moisture loss while still allowing normal skin function, creating a balanced environment for comfort and long-term skin health. It also improves skin’s elasticity, suppleness, minimizes the appearance of fine lines, and supports overall skin health. 

Due to its density and resistance to evaporation, a single, very small amount of LanoSkin applied remains effective for extended periods, while maintaining consistent skin conditioning capabilities and protection.

LanoSkin is highly valued for its versatility in both everyday and specialized care. It helps maintain healthy skin and provides relief for dry and cracked areas. Its gentle and natural composition makes it ideal for use during nursing, diaper area care, and frequent use on older, thinned skin. It also helps improve appearance of skin affected by chronic dryness. In addition, it helps soothe working hands’ calluses and minor abrasions, and supports skin comfort from minor scrapes, burns, and irritations;  and helps protect skin from environmental stressors, including cold, wind, dry air, and sun-exposed skin.
