Lanolin
Lanolins'
skin softening properties have been known about
for centuries. Wool workers worldwide, especially
in New Zealand, are well known for having soft
and and youthful looking hands due to contact
with Lanolin-rich sheep's wool.
Lanolin is a highly refined oil derived from wool
grease which is scoured (washed) from natural
sheep's wool after shearing. NZ lanolin is an
ideal gift as it suits even the most sensitive
skin types. A cruelty free product, the wool is
shorn from the sheep in springtime so that the
mother feels cooler weather and will take her
newborn lambs to shelter.
