Product Description
Lanolin is a natural viscous wax secreted by sheep sebaceous glands. With unique water-absorbing and emulsifying capabilities, it acts as a premium emollient and stabilizer. Unlike petrolatum that forms fully occlusive layers, it builds breathable protective films on the skin, supporting healthier skin respiration.
