What is "lanolin"?

Lanolin, derived from the sebaceous glands of sheep, is a widely used ingredient in personal care products due to its exceptional moisturizing and emollient properties. It forms a protective barrier on the skin, helping to lock in moisture and prevent dryness. Lanolin's natural affinity to the skin makes it an effective ingredient in creams, lotions, lip balms, and other skincare products. Its ability to soothe and nourish the skin makes it particularly beneficial for dry and chapped areas, providing relief and promoting skin hydration and softness.
