Lanolin (from Latin lāna 'wool', and oleum 'oil'), also called wool fat, wool yolk, wool wax, or wool grease, is a wax secreted by the sebaceous glands of wool-bearing animals.
Lanolin used by humans comes from domestic sheep breeds that are raised specifically for their wool.
Historically, many pharmacopoeias have referred to lanolin as wool fat (adeps lanae); however, as lanolin lacks glycerides (glycerol esters), it is not a true fat.
Lanolin primarily consists of sterol esters instead.
Lanolin's waterproofing property aids sheep in shedding water from their coats.
Certain breeds of sheep produce large amounts of lanolin.
Lanolin is a principle component of lanolin, which is a natural product obtained from the fleece of sheep.
Lanolin is found in steroid-containing creams/ointments, medicated shampoos, veterinary products, hand lotions, moisturizers, sunscreens, self-tanning creams, lipsticks, makeup removers, foundations, eye shadows, hairsprays, shaving creams, baby oils and products, printing inks, furniture and shoe polishes, lubricants, leather, and paper.
Lanolin's role in nature is to protect wool and skin from climate and the environment.
Lanolin also plays a role in skin (integumental) hygiene.
Lanolin and its derivatives are used in the protection, treatment, and beautification of human skin
Lanolin is a yellow fat obtained from sheep's wool.
Lanolin is used as an emollient, cosmetic, and pharmaceutic aid.
The US federal code of regulations states that lanolin in the concentration range of 12-50% may be included in over the counter skin ointments.
Lanolin is the purified, secreted product of the sheep sebaceous glands.
Lanolin primarily consists of long-chain waxy esters, or sterol esters, that lack glycerides.
For this reason, Lanolin is also called wool wax or wool grease.
Lanolin is used in the protection, treatment, and cosmetic enhancement of human skin.
Lanolin hydrophobic properties can help protect skin against infections or skin irritation, as Lanolin helps seal in moisture that is already present in the skin.
Lanolin is used as an active ingredient in over the counter topical products such as ointments, lubricants, lotions and facial cosmetics.
Lanolin is also frequently used in protective baby skin treatment and for sore nipples in breastfeeding mothers,.

Lanolin is a waxy substance that sheep naturally produce to protect their wool.
Because lanolin's properties are similar to those of the sebum (oil) secreted by human skin, Lanolin is a popular ingredient in moisturizers, hair care products, and soaps.
Lanolin is also widely promoted as a natural remedy for sore nipples due to breastfeeding.
The lanolin in the products you buy comes from sheep raised for their wool.
Lanolin also goes by the names wool grease, wool yolk, and wool wax.
Lanolin oil is a secretion from sheep’s skin.
Lanolin is similar to human sebum, an oil secreted by the sebaceous glands that you may notice particularly on your nose.
Unlike sebum, lanolin contains no triglycerides.
Lanolin is sometimes referred to as “wool fat,” but the term is misleading because Lanolin lacks triglycerides needed to be considered a fat.
The purpose of lanolin is to condition and protect sheep’s wool.
This conditioning property is why the substance is now widely used in human cosmetics, skin care, and hair products.
Lanolin oil is extracted by putting sheep’s wool through a centrifuge machine that separates the oil from other chemicals and debris.
The process is performed after the sheep is sheared so the extraction of lanolin causes no harm to sheep.
You may already be using products that contain lanolin oil without realizing Lanolin.
Many medicine cabinet staples including lip balms, lotions, and nipple creams contain the amber-colored substance loved for Lanolin moisturizing ability.
Lanolin is a waxy substance derived mainly from the wool of sheep.
The sheep’s sebaceous glands produce this “wool wax” to help shed water and keep the sheep dry.
Lanolin is extracted by putting the wool through a centrifuge machine that separates the oil from other chemicals and debris.
Growing Popularity of Lanolin:
Lanolin is used in an array of products like pharmaceuticals, leather, textiles, baby and men’s care products, bio-lubricants, and nearly all types of cosmetics marketed to women.
While pharmaceutical-grade lanolin is the lion’s share of the market today, the growing demand for natural and organic ingredients in personal care products is driving lanolin market growth, which is expected to be worth more than $450 million USD by 2024.
In beauty products, specifically, lanolin gives lipsticks heavy gloss and high-shine.
Formulations like these are about 5-10% lanolin by weight.
Lanolin may also appear in cosmetics as modified versions of lanolin oil.
Lanfrax, for instance, is the trade name of a lanolin oil compound that has polyethylene glycol attached to Lanolin to make it more water-soluble.
Accounting for these modified versions of lanolin, lanolin and its derivatives may account for approximately 15-25% of the weight of a given lipstick.
So, though the production of lanolin seems innocent enough because the process happens after the sheep are shorn, and seems like Lanolin should be a natural byproduct of the wool industry, lanolin is a major industry of its own.
The only way to sustain the accelerating levels of lanolin production is by being inextricably linked to mass-produced wool, which is a slaughter industry with inhumane practices.
Because the lanolin industry relies directly on mass-produced wool, lanolin also supports cruelty.
Composition of Lanolin:
A typical high-purity grade of lanolin is composed predominantly of long chain waxy esters (approximately 97% by weight) with the remainder being lanolin alcohols, lanolin acids and lanolin hydrocarbons.
An estimated 8,000 to 20,000 different types of lanolin esters are present in lanolin, resulting from combinations between the 200 or so different lanolin acids and the 100 or so different lanolin alcohols identified so far.
Lanolin’s complex composition of long-chain esters, hydroxyesters, diesters, lanolin alcohols, and lanolin acids means in addition to its being a valuable product in Lanolin own right, Lanolin is also the starting point for the production of a whole spectrum of lanolin derivatives, which possess wide-ranging chemical and physical properties.
The main derivatisation routes include hydrolysis, fractional solvent crystallisation, esterification, hydrogenation, alkoxylation and quaternisation.
Lanolin derivatives obtained from these processes are used widely in both high-value cosmetics and skin treatment products.
Hydrolysis of lanolin yields lanolin alcohols and lanolin acids.
Lanolin alcohols are a rich source of cholesterol (an important skin lipid) and are powerful water-in-oil emulsifiers; they have been used extensively in skincare products for over 100 years.
Approximately 40% of the acids derived from lanolin are alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs).
The use of AHAs in skin care products has attracted a great deal of attention in recent years.
Details of the AHAs isolated from lanolin can be seen in the table below.
Production of Lanolin:
Crude lanolin constitutes about 5–25% of the weight of freshly shorn wool.
The wool from one Merino sheep will produce about 250–300 ml of recoverable wool grease.
Lanolin is extracted by washing the wool in hot water with a special wool scouring detergent to remove dirt, wool grease (crude lanolin), suint (sweat salts), and anything else stuck to the wool.
The wool grease is continuously removed during this washing process by centrifuge separators, which concentrate Lanolin into a waxlike substance melting at approximately 38 °C (100 °F).
Applications
Lanolin and its many derivatives are used extensively in both the personal care (e.g., high value cosmetics, facial cosmetics, lip products) and health care sectors such as topical liniments.
Lanolin is also found in lubricants, rust-preventive coatings, shoe polish, and other commercial products.
Lanolin is a relatively common allergen and is often misunderstood as a wool allergy.
However, allergy to a lanolin-containing product is difficult to pinpoint and often other products containing lanolin may be fine for use.
Patch testing can be done if a lanolin allergy is suspected.
Lanolin is frequently used in protective baby skin treatment and for sore nipples from breastfeeding although health authorities do not recommend it, advise against nipple cleaning and rather recommend improving baby positioning and expressing milk by hand.
Lanolin is used commercially in many industrial products ranging from rustproof coatings to lubricants.
Some sailors use lanolin to create slippery surfaces on their propellers and stern gear to which barnacles cannot adhere.
Commercial products (e.g. Lanocote) containing up to 85% lanolin are used to prevent corrosion in marine fasteners, especially when two different metals are in contact with each other and saltwater.
The water-repellent properties make Lanolin valuable in many applications as a lubricant grease where corrosion would otherwise be a problem.
7-Dehydrocholesterol from lanolin is used as a raw material for producing vitamin D3 by irradiation with ultraviolet light.
Baseball players often use Lanolin to soften and break in their baseball gloves (shaving cream with lanolin is popularly used for this).
Anhydrous liquid lanolin, combined with parabens, has been used in trials as artificial tears to treat dry eye.
Anhydrous lanolin is also used as a lubricant for brass instrument tuning slides.
Lanolin can also be restored to woollen garments to make them water and dirt repellent, such as for cloth diaper covers.
Lanolin is also used in lip balm products such as Carmex.
For some people, Lanolin can irritate the lips.
Lanolin is sometimes used by people on continuous positive airway pressure therapy to reduce irritation with masks, particular nasal pillow masks that can often create sore spots in the nostrils.
Lanolin is a popular additive to moustache wax, particularly 'extra-firm' varieties.
Lanolin is used as a primary lubricating component in aerosol-based brass lubricants in the ammunition reloading process.
Mixed warm 1:12 with highly concentrated ethanol (usually 99%), the ethanol acts as a carrier which evaporates quickly after application, leaving a fine film of lanolin behind to prevent brass seizing in resizing dies.
Lanolin, when mixed with ingredients such as neatsfoot oil, beeswax and glycerol, is used in various leather treatments, for example in some saddle soaps and in leather care products.

Benefits of Lanolin:
Lanolin is classified as an occlusive moisturizer.
This means Lanolin works by reducing water loss from the skin, similar to petroleum jelly.
While petroleum can reduce the evaporation of skin's moisture by 98%, lanolin reduces it by between 20% and 30%.
However, many people like that lanolin isn't as heavy as petroleum jelly, making Lanolin more pleasant to use.
In skincare products, there's no hard evidence showing lanolin is better than synthetic waxes.
If you like using natural products, though, you may prefer lanolin over synthetics.
Lanolin is in a wide variety of over-the-counter (OTC) products.
They include:
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, your nipples may become sore, dry, and even cracked.
Many healthcare providers recommend lanolin creams to ease nipple pain from breastfeeding.
A big benefit is that it's generally considered safe for your baby to ingest small amounts of lanolin.
Lanolin 's recommended that you use it at least ten minutes before you start breastfeeding.
But unlike other products, you don't need to wipe Lanolin off.
Lanolin 's also safe to give your baby breastmilk expressed while lanolin is on your nipples. (Again, wait about 10 minutes after application before you begin pumping.)
Research into lanolin for nipple pain has been mixed.
A 2018 Brazilian study suggested significant improvements in nipple pain and trauma in participants who used lanolin compared to those who rubbed in breastmilk (another common remedy for nipple soreness).
However, other research on Lanolin effectiveness has been lackluster.
A 2014 review of studies concluded that evidence is insufficient that lanolin relieves nipple pain.
Research in 2017 reported participants were happier with the results of lanolin cream than with other products, but lanolin didn't lessen nipple pain or make continued breastfeeding more likely.
A 2021 study said Lanolin wasn't clear whether lanolin (combined with education about breastfeeding) helped prevent nipple pain.
Lanolin oil is known as an emollient, which means Lanolin helps soothe dry or dehydrated skin.
A 2017 studyTrusted Source indicated that lanolin can reduce water lost through the skin by 20 to 30 percent.
Simply put, lanolin is extremely hydrating and has the ability to soften skin to help improve the appearance and the feel of rough, dry, or flaky areas.
Lanolin ’s Cruelty-free:
If you’re ready to clean up your skincare routine, lanolin is a must.
Lanolin is a by-product of wool washing after shearing, meaning no sheep are harmed in the process.
In fact, if sheep aren’t sheared, their fleece will become solid, too hot and heavy for them so they must be shorn whether we use lanolin or not.
That’s why our lanolin is cruelty-free and Leaping Bunny Certified.
Lanolin Provides Dual Benefits:
Lanolin is unique because it is incredibly hydrating without ever feeling sticky.
Lanolin has the dual benefit of being both semi-occlusive and semi-permeable, meaning Lanolin allows your skin to self-hydrate from within while acting as a breathable skin barrier.
These two qualities make lanolin an incredibly versatile ingredient that is ideal for hydrating dry, flaky skin.
Lanolin Offers The Ultimate In Hydration:
Lanolin can hold up to 400% of its weight in moisture, so you know Lanolin can quench your skin’s thirst.
Another part of the reason why lanolin is an effective moisturizer is that Lanolin is scientifically proven to mimic lipids in human skin extremely closely.
Your skin will instantly welcome the added hydration!
Lanolin Can Be Used For More Than Cosmetics:
While we love lanolin for lips and can’t get enough of lanolin hand cream, this hero ingredient can also be used for more than cosmetics.
Because of Lanolin similarity to the skin’s own oils, doctors often recommend lanolin to help protect burns and mothers can use Lanolin with nursing infants.
Standards And Legislation About Lanolin:
In addition to general purity requirements, lanolin must meet official requirements for the permissible levels of pesticide residues.
The Fifth Supplement of the United States Pharmacopoeia XXII published in 1992 was the first to specify limits for 34 named pesticides.
A total limit of 40 ppm (i.e. 40 mg/kg) total pesticides was stipulated for lanolin of general use, with no individual limit greater than 10 ppm.
A second monograph also introduced into the US Pharmacopoeia XXII in 1992 was entitled 'Modified Lanolin'.
Lanolin conforming to this monograph is intended for use in more exacting applications, for example on open wounds.
In this monograph, the limit of total pesticides was reduced to 3 ppm total pesticides, with no individual limit greater than 1 ppm.
In 2000, the European Pharmacopoeia introduced pesticide residue limits into its lanolin monograph.
This requirement, which is generally regarded as the new quality standard, extends the list of pesticides to 40 and imposes even lower concentration limits.
Some very high-purity grades of lanolin surpass monograph requirements.
New products obtained using complex purification techniques produce lanolin esters in their natural state, removing oxidative and environmental impurities resulting in white, odourless, hypoallergenic lanolin.
These ultra-high-purity grades of lanolin are ideally suited to the treatment of dermatological disorders such as eczema and on open wounds.
Lanolin attracted attention owing to a misunderstanding concerning Lanolin sensitising potential.
A study carried out at New York University Hospital in the early 1950s had shown about 1% of patients with dermatological disorders were allergic to the lanolin being used at that time.
By one estimate, this simple misunderstanding of failing to differentiate between the general healthy population and patients with dermatological disorders exaggerates the sensitising potential of lanolin by 5,000–6,000 times.
The European Cosmetics Directive, introduced in July 1976, contained a stipulation that cosmetics which contained lanolin should be labelled to that effect.
This ruling was challenged immediately, and in the early 1980s, it was overturned and removed from the directive.
Despite only being in force for a short period of time, this ruling did harm both to the lanolin industry and to the reputation of lanolin in general.
The Cosmetics Directive ruling only applied to the presence of lanolin in cosmetic products; Lanolin did not apply to the many hundreds of its different uses in dermatological products designed for the treatment of compromised skin conditions.
Modern analytical methods have revealed lanolin possesses a number of important chemical and physical similarities to human stratum corneum lipids; the lipids which help regulate the rate of water loss across the epidermis and govern the hydration state of the skin.
Cryogenic scanning electron microscopy has shown that lanolin, like human stratum corneum lipids, consists of a mass of liquid crystalline material.
Cross-polarised light microscopy has shown the multilamellar vesicles formed by lanolin are identical to those formed by human stratum corneum lipids.
The incorporation of bound water into the stratum corneum involves the formation of multilamellar vesicles.
Skin bioengineering studies have shown the durational effect of the emollient (skin smoothing) action produced by lanolin is very significant and lasts for many hours.
Lanolin applied to the skin at 2 mg/cm2 has been shown to reduce roughness by about 35% after one hour and 50% after two hours, with the overall effect lasting for considerably more than eight hours.
Lanolin is also known to form semiocclusive (breathable) films on the skin.
When applied daily at around 4 mg/cm2 for five consecutive days, the positive moisturising effects of lanolin were detectable until 72 hours after final application.
Lanolin may achieve some of its moisturising effects by forming a secondary moisture reservoir within the skin.
The barrier repair properties of lanolin have been reported to be superior to those produced by both petrolatum and glycerol.
In a small clinical study conducted on volunteer subjects with terribly dry (xerotic) hands, lanolin was shown to be superior to petrolatum in reducing the signs and symptoms of dryness and scaling, cracks and abrasions, and pain and itch.
In another study, a high purity grade of lanolin was found to be significantly superior to petrolatum in assisting the healing of superficial wounds.
Manufacturing Methods of Lanolin:
Lanolin is manufacturing by extraction from sheep wool by scouring with dilute alkali, centrifuging, and refining (for the purer grades) via treatment with hot aqueous alkali and then a bleaching agent.
Lanolin is manufacturing by purifying the fatty matter (suint) obtained from the wool of the sheep.
This natural wool fat contains about 30% of free fatty acids and fatty acid esters of cholesterol and other higher alcohols.
The cholesterol compounds are the important constituents, and to secure these in a purified form, many processes have been devised.
In one of these the crude wool fat is treated with weak alkali and the saponified fats and emulsions are centrifuged to secure the aqueous soap solution, from which, on standing, a layer of partially purified wool fat separates.
Lanolin is further purified by treating it with calcium chloride and then dehydrated by fusion with unslaked lime.
Lanolin is finally extracted with acetone, and the solvent subsequently separated by distillation.
Lanolin is obtained by one of the following methods:
1. Solvent extraction of wool fleece.
2. Scouring of wool with soap or neutral detergent followed by:
a. Centrifugation of the resulting emulsion.
This may introduce small amounts of detergents as impurities in the lanolin.
b. breaking of the emulsion with acid, or production of foam (with air) and collection of the froth.
