Frequently Asked Questions about Pure Lanolin

1. Is Anhydrous Lanolin safe for breastfeeding and newborns?

Yes. Our Lanolin is Pharmaceutical Grade (Adeps Lanae) and 100% pure, meaning it contains no additives, preservatives, or fragrances. It is widely used as a natural nipple cream because it is safe for babies to ingest in small amounts, so there is no need to wash it off before nursing.

2. What is the difference between Anhydrous Lanolin and regular Lanolin?

"Anhydrous" means "without water." Anhydrous Lanolin is a concentrated, wax-like ointment that is much more effective at creating a moisture-locking barrier than water-based creams. Because it contains no water, it has a longer shelf life and doesn’t require synthetic preservatives to stay fresh.

3. Can I use Lanolin on my face if I have sensitive skin or eczema?

Absolutely. Lanolin is "bio-identical" to the oils produced by human skin, making it highly compatible with sensitive complexions. It is an excellent occlusive, meaning it traps moisture inside the skin. It is particularly effective for soothing eczema patches, windburn, and severely dry "winter skin."

4. Does Lanolin have a strong smell?

Because our Lanolin is ultra-filtered and pharmaceutical grade, it has a very mild, natural "sheep" scent that dissipates quickly upon application. Unlike lower-grade industrial lanolin, it does not have a harsh or pungent odour.

5. Is Lanolin suitable for people with wool allergies?

While Lanolin is derived from sheep's wool, most people with a "wool allergy" are actually reacting to the prickly fibres of the wool itself, not the fat. However, because it is a sheep-derived product, we recommend those with a confirmed lanolin alcohol allergy perform a small patch test first.

How to Use Your Pure Anhydrous Lanolin

Lanolin is a unique, ultra-thick wax-like substance. Because it contains no water, it is much denser than standard lotions. Follow these tips to get the best results:

The "Warmth" Secret

Pure lanolin can become quite firm in cooler temperatures (especially during UK winters!).

• The Trick: Scoop a small, pea-sized amount and rub it between your fingertips or palms for a few seconds. Your natural body heat will "melt" the lanolin into a silky, easy-to-spread oil.

For Nursing Mothers

• Application: After breastfeeding, gently pat the area dry. Apply a pea-sized amount of warmed lanolin to the entire nipple area.
• No Wash-Off: There is no need to remove the lanolin before the next feed; it is 100% safe for your baby.

For Severely Dry Skin & Cracked Heels

• Best Practice: Apply immediately after a bath or shower while your skin is still slightly damp. The lanolin will trap that moisture into your skin for deep, long-lasting hydration.
• Overnight Treatment: For cracked heels or "gardener’s hands," apply a thick layer before bed and cover with cotton socks or gloves.

For Lips & Winter Protection

• Lip Mask: Apply a thin layer before bed for an intensive overnight lip treatment.
• Weather Shield: Dab a tiny amount onto cheekbones or bridge of the nose before heading out into high winds or freezing temperatures to prevent windburn.

Pro-Tip for DIYers: If you are using this as a base for homemade balms, melt it gently in a double boiler (bain-marie). Avoid direct high heat to preserve the natural integrity of the fats.

Storage & Care

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Because it is anhydrous (water-free), it has a naturally long shelf life of up to 24 months after opening.
