Lanolin Oil

Cold pressed unrefined 100% natural.

Yes — lanolin oil is absolutely used in cosmetic and skincare products. It’s a natural emollient derived from sheep’s wool (refined to be skin-safe) and is especially great for very dry or chapped skin.

What lanolin oil is used for in cosmetics:

1. Moisturizing Products

• Deeply hydrates and softens

• Mimics skin’s natural oils

• Great in lip balms, hand creams, and foot salves

2. Lip Care

• Used in lip balms, glosses, and treatments

• Helps heal cracked lips and creates a protective barrier

3. Nipple Creams

• Safe for use during breastfeeding (often found in 100% lanolin form)

4. Diaper Balms / Baby Care

• Creates a protective barrier against moisture

5. Hair Care (in small amounts)

• Adds shine and locks in moisture for very dry or textured hair

6. Healing Balms / Ointments

• Often combined with beeswax and other oils for repairing skin

Notes:

• It’s occlusive, meaning it traps moisture in the skin

• Can feel heavy or sticky if used too much

• A little goes a long way!

• Not vegan (since it’s animal-derived)

If you’re formulating something like a balm, lip product, or rich cream, lanolin oil can really boost the moisturizing power.
