Lanolin

Lanolin also called wool yolk, wool wax, or wool grease, is a wax secreted by the sebaceous glands of domestic sheep breeds that are raised specifically for their wool. Lanolin's role in nature is to protect wool and skin from climate and the environment; it also plays a role in skin (integumental) hygiene. Lanolin and its derivatives are used in the protection, treatment and beautification of human skin. Lanolin is high in lipid content and contributes to hydration levels in the skin. Lanolin is easily absorbed into skin cells, which allows it to help repair barrier function and increase skin moisture. Our lanolin anhydrous is derived from sheep wool.
