Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

Emollient, Emulsifying, Skin Conditioning
Very Disliked

Lanolin is a wax secreted by animals with wool, such as sheep. It is a waterproof emollient.

Emollients help soften and moisturize the skin by creating a film. This film prevents moisture from escaping, helping the skin stay hydrated.

Unlike true fats, lanolin contains sterol esters instead of glycerides. It also contains fatty acids and alcohols.

Because lanolin comes from an animal, it is not considered vegan. Sheets secrete lanolin through sebaceous glands to help protect their skin from the environment.

The answer to this question depends on the brand itself. Being cruelty-free means a brand does not experiment or harm animals. We recommend looking into how brands source their lanolin. Lanolin is cruelty-free if it is gathered without harming the animal.

i had a really chapped patch on the corner on my lip that wouldn’t go away for about a month, it was pretty painful as i couldn’t eat or yawn without ripping it back open. i tried using other occlusive products to help seal in moisture but nothing was working. after the first night of using this this, the following morning the patch was basically gone and was fully healed within the next couple days of using this.
now i use it to seal in the elf lip mask that contains hyaluronic acid, and my lips are surviving the dry & cold weather this winter!
