Lanolin

Lanolin is a waxy compound, produced by the sebaceous glands of wool-bearing animals. 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. Lanolin is used as a moisturizer to treat or prevent dry, itchy, rough, scaly skin and minor skin irritations such as diaper rash, skin burns due to radiation therapy. A doctor should be consulted to know exactly how and where to apply lanolin cream. It is advised not to apply lanolin on the face, or other sensitive areas such as near the eyes, inside the nose or mouth, or near the groin region, on any areas of broken, irritated, scraped, chapped, cut skin or on a recently shaved area of the skin.

For best results, this product should be applied after bath while the skin is still slightly damp. Lanolin is largely used in lip balms. It heals already chapped lips and prevents further drying. Lanolin is also a good conditioner for extremely curly and thick hair. Lanolin can also be used by mothers who are breastfeeding to cure chapped nipples. Small amounts of lanolin ingested while feeding will not harm the baby.
