Lanolin for Eczema & Sensitive Skin – Natural Barrier Care

The Struggle with Dry and Eczema-Prone Skin
If you live in the UK, chances are you’ve battled dry, irritated skin at some point.
Cold winds, central heating, and endless handwashing all strip away our skin’s natural oils — especially for those prone to eczema or sensitivity.
While many reach for store-bought creams filled with chemicals and fragrance, there’s a simple, old-fashioned remedy that still outperforms most modern formulas: pure lanolin.
What Makes Lanolin So Effective
Lanolin is a natural wax derived from sheep’s wool — completely cruelty-free when sourced ethically.
It acts almost like a second skin, creating a breathable barrier that locks in moisture while allowing the skin to heal naturally.
Unlike water-based creams that evaporate quickly, pure anhydrous lanolin continues to protect for hours. It softens rough, cracked areas, relieves tightness, and restores comfort to irritated skin.
That’s why lanolin is often recommended by dermatologists and herbalists as a safe, gentle option for dry, flaky, or eczema-prone skin.

How to Use Lanolin for Eczema & Dry Skin
- Warm a pea-sized amount of lanolin between your fingertips.
- Apply directly to dry, cracked, or irritated areas.
- Allow the wax to melt into the skin and form a smooth, protective layer.
- Reapply as needed — particularly after washing or exposure to the cold.
💡 Tip: For very dry hands or heels, apply before bed and wear cotton gloves or socks overnight for intense hydration.
Lanolin vs Synthetic Moisturisers
While many creams use petroleum derivatives that simply coat the skin, lanolin goes deeper.
It works with your natural oils — binding to water molecules and keeping them in the skin’s upper layers.
That’s why Herbalshire’s lanolin delivers lasting results without the greasy feel or artificial scent. It’s the quiet hero of natural skincare — no hype, just results.
