Lanolin API Powder

Description

Lanolin, also known as wool grease, wool yolk, or wool wax, is a natural moisturizer sourced from sheep’s wool. It has been used for various purposes due to its unique properties. Let’s explore its benefits and uses: Skin Moisturization: Lanolin is classified as an occlusive moisturizer . It works by reducing water loss from the skin, similar to petroleum jelly. While petroleum jelly can reduce moisture evaporation by 98%, lanolin achieves a reduction of 20% to 30%. Many people prefer lanolin over petroleum jelly because it is lighter and more pleasant to use. Common Uses of Lanolin: Lanolin is found in a wide variety of over-the-counter (OTC) products, including: Eye creams Hemorrhoid medication Lip balm Lotions and creams for dry skin Makeup and makeup removers Medicated shampoos Mustache wax Shaving cream Baby oil Diaper rash cream Lanolin for Breastfeeding and Sore Nipples: During breastfeeding, lanolin creams are recommended to ease nipple pain. It is generally considered safe for babies to ingest small amounts of lanolin. Apply it at least ten minutes before breastfeeding, and there’s no need to wipe it off. You can also give your baby breast milk expressed while lanolin is on your nipples.
