5 Reasons Why Lanolips is Truly a Dry Skin Miracle Balm
When you find out that the founder of lanolin-based Lanolips grew up watching her grandfather shearing sheep on their family farm in Australia, you get interested in her products. When you find out that her father was an award-winning DNA molecular scientist, you get obsessed with knowing more about what she’s created. Especially if you have eczema and nothing is soothing the itch and sting. We had high hopes for Lanolips and we were not disappointed. Lanolips is like love, science and beauty industry experience had a baby. The 101 Balm and the 101 Dry Skin Super Cream are a dream.
Here are 5 reasons why Lanolips is a miracle find for your lips, face, body and your conscience:
Lanolin is a natural oil that closely mimics the lipids in human skin. Lipids basically waterproof your skin—protecting skin from the outside and locking in hydration on the inside.
The lanolin in Lanolips is semi-occlusive—it acts as a breathable barrier to lock in moisture without suffocating the skin.
Lanolin holds up to 2x its weight in water for long-lasting hydration.
Lanolips 101 Ointment Multipurpose Superbalm has been awarded the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance (Seal) by the National Eczema Association (NEA).
Lanolips intentionally ensures that its lanolin is sourced from Australian and New Zealand sheep. By doing so, the good people behind Lanolips support local farmers and ensure that the sheep are handled under the strictest animal cruelty and low-pesticide guidelines.
By now you’ve got to be wondering how lanolin is derived. We can assure you that no sheep are harmed in the making! Lanolin, unlike petroleum jelly, is a natural, renewable, and sustainable ingredient. It’s a by-product of wool washing. Raw wool is almost washed before it becomes your favorite sweater. And that’s how we get lanolin. Cool fact: if buried, wool, unlike synthetics, biodegrades in as little as three to four months. That’s the cool thing about choosing lanolin (and wool), it’s an environmentally-circular ingredient.
Cheers to Lanolips and their top tier mix of tints, fabulously scented balms and gentle, unscented products that really do the job of healing and giving you that healthy skin glow.
