Lanolin, a naturally occurring oil from sheep’s wool, is primarily used as a moisturizer and emollient for skin, helping to retain moisture and soothe dryness, chapped lips, and other skin conditions. 

Here’s a more detailed explanation of lanolin’s purpose and benefits:
  • Moisturizing and Hydrating:
    Lanolin is a powerful emollient, meaning it softens and soothes the skin by reducing water loss. It can hold up to 400% of its weight in moisture, making it an effective moisturizer for dry, flaky, or chapped skin. 

  • Mimicking Skin’s Natural Oils:
    Lanolin’s structure closely resembles the lipids (oils) in human skin, allowing it to blend well and effectively hydrate without feeling greasy. 

  • Protection and Healing:
    Lanolin can help protect the skin from environmental factors and can aid in the healing of minor skin irritations or burns. 

  • Versatile Applications:
    Beyond skincare, lanolin is used in lip balms, hand creams, and even some hair products. 

  • Semi-occlusive and Semi-permeable:
    Lanolin allows the skin to self-hydrate from within while acting as a breathable skin barrier. 

  • Natural and Hypoallergenic:
    Lanolin is a natural product, and when refined, can be hypoallergenic, making it a good option for many skin types. 

  • Other uses:
    Lanolin can also be used for treating chapped lips, cracked heels, ragged cuticles, sunburns, and even shaving cuts. 
    • Usage range:
      The recommended usage of lanolin in skincare products typically ranges from 1% to 10%. 

    • Solubility:
      Lanolin is insoluble in water but soluble in oils and other lipids, making it easy to incorporate into oil-based formulations. 

    • Safety:
      While generally safe, some individuals may be allergic to lanolin, so it’s always a good idea to do a patch test before using a product containing it.
