Lanolin

What it does: Emollient, Emulsifying, Skin Conditioning

Community Rating: 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.
