Description
All our oils are fresh and bottled daily. Expiration date is at least 12 month from sale date Organic Ingredients:100% Pure Lanolin Oil USP Grade Color: Amber viscous Aromatic Description: Characteristic odor Overview Just like in humans, a sheep's skin has pores that produce oils to hydrate the surface of the body. These oils, called lanolin, have a deep moisturizing effect on human skin and hair. Lanolin is found in cosmetics, skin creams and some moisturizing shampoos. It locks existing moisture into the skin and absorbs additional moisture from the air around it. Liquid Lanolin Oil is produced from lanolin that is subjected to low temperature fractional crystallization to isolate the liquid esters of regular anhydrous lanolin. Lanolin oil is much easier to work with than anhydrous lanolin due its lower viscosity. It can be used in formulations where lanolin is called for but it provides a lighter texture with less drag. The color and odor of lanolin oil make it ideal for use in lip care products where color is important. It can be used as a substitute for mineral oil in any type of skin care oil or formulation. It provides superior emolliency and protection from epidermal moisture loss. Lanolin oil is great in balms, hair treatments and conditioners, body oils, bath oils, rich creams and other products where high emolliency is needed.
Features
Skin Moisturizer Lanolin-based skin creams work well if you have extremely dry skin. Lanolin falls into the lipid-rich emollient class of moisturizers. One of the causes of dry skin is a lack of lipids, which allows water to escape. Lanolin fills in those gaps, preventing future water escape. It is typically mixed with a humectant, which holds moisture to the skin.
Chapped Lips Lanolin is one of the ingredients in the most popular lip balms. Its effect is two-fold. The waxy texture allows easy application and even coverage without a mess. This seals the lips and prevents further chapping. Lanolin also absorbs moisture from the air around it, rejuvenating the dry skin tissue and relieving the pain and skin cracking.
Hair Conditioner People with very curly hair find that regular conditioners do not make the grade. Extra curly hair is typically accompanied by thick hair, which is impenetrable by regular conditioner. Lanolin is thicker and heavier than most other additives to hair products. When massaged into hair, it can provide a softness to otherwise unmanageable hair.
Breastfeeding The San Diego County Breastfeeding Coalition recommends that mothers use lanolin as a remedy for chapped and cracked nipples due to breastfeeding. It instructs mothers to gently apply a 2 mm layer of lanolin cream to the nipples and areolas to relieve soreness and skin cracking, which may result as the baby nurses.
The lanolin absorbs the humidity in the air, moisturizing the sensitive area. The coalition recommends leaving the lanolin on the nipple while nursing or pumping, as the cleaning and reapplication process will only irritate the skin further. Small amounts of lanolin ingested while nursing will not harm the child.
