Lanolin Lip Balm (Chapstick)

$7.99

After sheep have been sheared, wool can be processed to remove the lanolin from the wool. Lanolin is protective and nourishing to the skin of the sheep as well as for people who use it. Lanolin is used for dry, cracked skin, nursing mothers, working hands, and dry lips.

This silky, hydrating and nourishing lip balm (chapstick) is small-batch made and hand poured in eco-friendly packaging. It is made with 100% pure organic sheep lanolin, cocoa butter, mango butter and beeswax.

*Note: Like any other lip balm (chapstick), the ingredients within our lip balm will melt in high temperatures. We package the lip balms to help minimize melting during transit.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes — lanolin is hypoallergenic for most users and is recommended by lactation consultants for nursing mothers. If you have a known wool allergy, patch-test first.

  • Mild, natural sheep-y note that fades within seconds of application. Most people don't notice it at all.

  • With daily use, about 2–3 months.

  • Yes — it's a byproduct of the annual wool harvest. The sheep are sheared regardless; we use what would otherwise be discarded.

  • Lanolin is semi-occlusive (locks moisture in and lets skin breathe) where petroleum is fully occlusive (just seals). Lanolin also delivers actual nourishment; petroleum doesn't.

About Lanolin

Lanolin is naturally hydrating and protective for the skin. Lanolin is also semi-occlusive and semi-permeable, which means it can help the skin hydrate from within.

Softening

Lanolin can soften rough, dry, or flaky skin, and it can help improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Healing

Lanolin can help heal chapped lips, and other skin issues like peeling, scaling, or irritation. Lanolin can penetrate the lips' moisture barrier, and it can help restore moisture to the skin.

Other benefits

Lanolin is also cruelty-free and renewable, as it's a by-product of the annual wool harvest.
