Now Foods Pure Lanolin - 7 oz.

Not going to lie, the lanolin scent is quite strong BUT it has completely healed my dry, chapped, peeling lips. I love that it's just pure lanolin and it's a great value for the money. A thin layer on my lips lasts for hours. I definitely will be ordering it again when needed.

if you fell into a pool of this stuff you would definitely drown. it's so thick and sticky but if you rub it between your hands for a while before applying it then it gets smoother. it has a distinct smell that i can't really describe, it's not unpleasant though, there's something very nostalgic and old-timey about it. it does work great to protect your skin from the dry winter air.

Great product. I use it on my heel and toe calluses and they're already much improved after about 10 days of use. Unscented and unflavored, this product will be perfect for use in my homemade salves.

I haven't found anything that works as well for healing and protecting chapped and cracked hands and feet at any price. As many reviewers have mentioned the lanolin does have a bit of a gamey scent. I have recommended it to several family members who all agree that it works very well but won't use it because of the scent. Since lanolin is extracted from sheep wool the closest thing I can describe the smell to is a damp sweater. I am a veterinarian and like the scent as it reminds me of my time working in the outdoors on farms and ranches. That said it's understandable that many people may not share this same sentiment, like my family members for instance. In short, it works very well, but does have a scent that may be disliked by some people.

I've known lanolin as a healing salve. I've gotten dried-up knuckles and wrists from my work with hand-washing and heavy duty cleaners. Mixing lanolin with my lotion not only moisturized my hands, but healed the damage!Here's some facts: Lanolin is an ingredient in saddle soap. This is used to clean, soften and condition leather to help make it water resistant. Without proper maintenance, leather will become brittle and crack. So if this stuff can keep a dead cow supple, imagine what if can do for your living hide! And it's not a far-fetched, or even new idea. Cowboys used it for their hands to help against cracking and splitting from a hard day's work.Also, I don't care what people might say, lanolin doesn't expire! Keep it in a tight-fitting jar, in a cool, dry place. That stuff lasts forever.The first time I used it was the half jar my Dad gave me. He had it stuck away because he used to use it on leather gun holsters. "I haven't touched this particular jar in 15 years," he told me. I opened it to see dried a little on top, just a couple cracks on it. I touched it, and the heat from my fingers soften it into the gooeyness below. The jar was still perfectly good!I bought these two jars of lanolin because it'd set me up for life. All I need is enough to coat my fingertip to mix with a spot of lotion, and that's enough to moisturize my hands. The only reason I mix it is that it makes spreading easier. Lanolin is thick and sticky on it's own. By itself I'll work wondrously if one doesn't mind taking the time to massage it into the skin with the heat from their hands.Wonderful stuff, this is! I can't believe I ever lived without it!

Thick, rich, and lanolin! Golden in colour, thick enough that it stays where you put it, and it has a slight scent. I ordered this to help with chapped, flakey skin issues and also as a base for making my own essential oil salves. Works perfect every time for my needs. I usually put it on my face at night before bed and wake up with my skin feeling soft and not flaking. I've also used it as a base for my essential oil beard salve recipe and it has certainly made my beard nice and soft and helps keep my beard from acting like a porcupine and sticking out everywhere.I also decided to use this to treat my 16 year old custom made leather jacket since I have not been able to find mink oil around here. The leather treatments on the market I've seen lately smell too much like petroleum, which I don't like. So, I grabbed up my Now Lanolin and started hand-rubbing it onto the jacket using a small plastic spatula to get it out so that I did not contaminate the whole jar. That took about 30 minutes or longer because I rubbed it in every fold and crease of the leather. Afterwards my hands were nice and supple too. I hung the jacket up in a warm room where nothing else could touch it and let it soak in for a few days. That's been a few weeks ago now and my jacket feels supple and flexible. It has a luster about it and looks almost new again. The lanolin does leave a slightly tacky or waxy feel to the leather, but that acts as a great waterproofing barrier, so I don't mind.I've used it also on a custom made leather bound book I have that was looking a bit drier than it should. It has revived the leather on it making it look as it did when I got it.I've recommended this to friends/family and will buy more when I need it.

This stuff is the best. I’m growing my hair out and it is helpingTremendously

The smell is unbearable on my face. It’s nauseating and it’s very sticky and thick, it’s hard to rub on. It does smell like a petting zoo or a circus.
