100% pure lanolin

These jars of 100% pure lanolin are amazing moisturizers! Lanolin is a natural byproduct from the processing of fleece into yarn.

Lanolin comes from the oil that the sheep develop in their fleeces. When the fleeces are washed in hot water and soap, the oil rises to the top. It is then cleaned, melted down, bottled, and labeled.

Lanolin is a renewable resource. It is a safe and friendly product perfect for a wide range of personal skin care applications, protecting the skin against drying effects of wind and cold; it helps with healing the skin just as it does for the sheep. If you know me, you know I have crazy dry skin and this lanolin does wonders for my hands. A little goes a long way! It’s a common ingredient in nipple creams, safe for both mom and baby when breastfeeding.

You can also use this lanolin to lanolize wool diaper covers – over time, the lanolin may wear off, reducing the water resistance of the wool. Use this to refresh wool diaper covers and other wool items.
