NOW Solutions, Lanolin, For Rough Dry Skin, 7 oz

I bought this over a year ago. Just getting ready to re order. I have been very happy with it. Yes, its thick - After all it is LANOLIN! I put it on my hands and wait a few seconds while it softens. It will NOT get runny like hand lotion. It is NOT hand lotion. Some said it smells bad. Well, it is LANOLIN and it smells like lanolin. That should surprise no one. It comes from the oil of sheep skin/wool. One reviewer said it smelled like sheep. What else would it smell like? My nose doesn't smell it unless I put my hand right up to my nose. If you prefer the scent of wildflowers, I suggest buying some scented lotion maybe with lanolin as an additive. I wash my hands a LOT because my daily routine soils my hands all day long. I like this lanolin BECAUSE it is thick. It doesn't wash off the first time I wash my hands. I can still feel it after washing my hands several times. It helps to keeps my hands soft and prevents drying. I live on the east coast in PA, and the winter air here is VERY drying. I wouldn't use it if I was going through a receiving line shaking hands, but I do "wear" it around the house in the winter time and at night. If you apply it an hour or so before bedtime, most of it will soak in before retiring or you can wear cotton gloves to bed. I have done that if my hands or cuticles were severely dry. And to the reviewer who insisted that anyone who says it doesn't stink is lying - get a life. IT SMELLS LIKE LANOLIN. I don't find it offensive. Garlic smells like garlic. Limberger cheese smells like limberger cheese. Lanolin smells like lanolin. I like this product, it works, and it is priced right. I am happily reordering.

I use this to lanolize my Bumby wool cloth diaper covers. You can just rub solid lanolin onto the diapers to make them water resistant and this was perfect for it! I like how affordable it is however it does have a barn smell, but that is expected. I feel like the smell dissipates after a few hours. It also made my hands so soft. I went ahead and also rubbed it on my elbows and wow! So moisturizing!

I never knew about lanolin until I started searching for products to help soften my feet and my boyfriend's lips. I have used so many things and some worked a little bit but I have never been completely satisfied with the results. Well I decided to try this pure lanolin because I love other products this brand sells and I couldn't be happier with the results! 1st of all the price is great!! You don't need a lot so it will last awhile. The 1st time I tried it I put some regular lotion and some body oil on my feet and after that soaked in I put a a little on the bottom of my feet and then put cotton soak on then went to bed. When I got up my feet felt so soft! Im on my feet all day at work so my feet will never feel super soft but they def feel a lot softer. I can't wait to see how soft my feet get after using it for a long time. And as for my boyfriends lips...omg!!! They did a complete 180!! His lips always looked so dry and gross...... So I told him to bush his lips when he brushed his teeth before bed and I put a very small amount on his lips and the skin around. After 1 night his lips looked and felt so much softer. Now we both do that every night and our lips have never been softer. And there's no more cracking on our lips. I don't use it anywhere else on my body but I'm sure wherever you need extreme moisture (like your knees elbows, hands, etc....) this is def the product you need to get . Oh... Yes it kinda of has a smell to it but I noticed I don't really smell it when you use a small amount on my lips and I never noticed my feet smelling like it once it's soaks in. So don't listen to the reviews of people saying it smells so bad they can't use it..... It's definitely not that bad.

I have purchased this multiple times over the last few years. I have always always been a lip gloss junkie....until. I don't know what happened, but a few years ago everything I had used since being in my teens (I am 63) started irritating my lips and causing them to actually dry out. On the hunt I went for something that would not irritate my lips. I have spent so much money. All the natural "bee" stuff, anything I could find with less chemicals because I had no idea why all of a sudden my lips were reacting this way. Hundreds of dollars later, dozens of google searches, and voila...this product came to my attention. Thank God, and I mean that literally!. I was miserable. I was used to slathering my lips multiple times a day. I needed some relief. Contrary to some of the reviews I have read, this stuff has a very very mild fragrance. I have a sensitive sniffer and it does not bother me. In fact I don't smell it anymore. Lanolin has been a lifesaver for my lips. I use it several times a day. Like I said, a lip gloss junkie. I am left with soft lips that are slightly glossy and no longer irritated. So very happy. I put it in a small container and carry it with me everywhere

Yes you can buy lanolin that is purified of all color and scent. It is much more expensive and if the scent bothers you I recommend buying the more expensive kind which is about 4 to 5 times this price per ounce. It’s lanolin….so it’s going to smell a bit like lanolin. The smell doesn’t bother me enough that I’d pay the ridiculous prices of purified lanolin. I’m usually only using a pea sized amount and the smell doesn’t linger so I feel it’s a waste of money to buy the scent-less kind. The bottle shows the color of the product (so nobody should expect purified lanolin which is white) and at this price point I don’t understand why people would expect it to smell like anything other than what it is…lanolin smells a bit like sheep. If you don’t like the smell…fork over the extra cash and stop complaining. I live in the Midwest. It gets cold. I mean REALLY cold. We are all walking around with dry skin everywhere because the cold rips the moisture out of the air for about 6 months out of the year. I have to use incredibly heavy moisturizing ingredients. Even then….its still hard to keep skin moisturized. I use this in cold weather. I do my skincare routine and get as much moisture into my skin as possible prior to applying this. I mix this with zinc oxide ointment and apply it to my face/hands and anywhere else that needs protecting. This helps lock in moisture and form a barrier that prevents water loss (TEWL) trans epidermal water loss. Lanolin and zinc oxide are some of the heaviest moisture trapping ingredients available that don’t clog pores. This also works amazing as a lip balm BUT you want to put moisture in your skin prior to application. Don’t just rub this on dry skin and expect it to moisturize. This forms a barrier that prevents water loss. It doesn’t add moisture to the skin underneath (although it does trap any moisture that was already there). I recommend wetting the skin, using something moisturizing that absorbs into the skin and then applying this on top. One note of caution: when the temperature gets real (and I mean REAL like subzero temps) lanolin gets hard, like wax. Trying to use it as a lip balm in subzero temps it will feel like you’ve spread melted beeswax all over your lips and allowed it to harden. This is why I mix it with zinc oxide or another barrier forming substance. It helps get a thinner layer that doesn’t get hard in extreme weather. The amount of lanolin you get here is enough to last for about 2 years of daily usage on face and hands (during cold seasons). You can also use this to lanolize wool clothing. If you’re doing that I recommend a 1% concentration. Anything more will simply make your garment oily and gross feeling. This is an extremely versatile product that can be used on anything from rashes to chapped lips and it’s an essential item in my home. I used it a lot while raising my daughter. It was the ONLY thing that would immediately help with extreme diaper rashes. I mean within minutes you go from screaming baby with fire engine bottom to happy baby who allows you to change their diaper and doesn’t fuss because they’re in so much discomfort. It can be safely used on any part of the body. Its chemical composition is similar to concentrated human sebum (the natural oil on human skin). It’s a miracle in a bottle. I use a q tip to dig into the container despite its antimicrobial properties. This is a large container. It lasts forever and it doesn’t feel hygienic to dip my fingers in something that’s going to last for 2 years. Highly recommend this product. If you are squeamish about scents then you’ll need to buy the purified kind. I find it feels a bit different than this “less purified” kind. It’s thicker but still works. If you’re looking for a cheaper alternative to purified lanolin this brand is great.

If you've never used lanolin: it's thick and sticky and you really need to warm it up somehow (like vigorous rubbing in your hands or a hot water bath). It smells weird... But that's all typical. Works great for moisturizing and protecting skin. Can be used to condition and style your beard, just beware that all lanolin has a distinct smell.

I mainly use this on my feet for dryness, and it works great for sealing in moisture. I prefer applying a light moisturizer underneath since this acts more like a protective barrier than a standalone moisturizer. It’s also very thick, so a little goes a long way, and it can be pretty difficult to wash off your hands afterward. It does have a slight earthy scent, just something to keep in mind if you’re sensitive.

This stuff is an unbelievable miracle!! Maybe I just think that because, apparently when I walk, my toes bend downward as if they're trying to grip the floor. Since I've been walking for nearly 60 years now, a result of this is that all of my toes had hard, deep calloused skin worse than my heels or that spot on your big toe on which you stand. I can't even begin to add up things I've tried or the $ spent over time trying to fix the hard skin: lotions, essential oils, masks, foot soaks, skin grating items and even razor blades. I finally just accepted it. One day, I saw an article about white, flaky and itchy dry skin on your legs in winter and winters here are brutal most days. I live in Nebraska and if we don't like whatever weather we're having on any particular day, all we have to do is wait 5 minutes. The article recommended lanolin based lotions. I researched what lanolin is and bought this. Granted, it doesn't smell the best, but it's not too bad. It's better than a strong "old lady perfume" or a chemical or medicinal scent. Anyway, I got my order and just wiped the seal from inside the cap across the tips of my toes. Unbelievable. They had actually turned pink in color, unlike the yellowish-white they had been for years as if the lanolin penetrated all of my thick, dead and dry skin until my toes turned into human ones. Hope this makes sense because I'm still giddy from how amazed I am that it works so well and so fast. Now I use it all over myself. I've NEVER been this soft of a human ever before in my entire life. Maybe at birth. Maybe.

This has fixed my dehydrated hands and my favorite leather chair. My chair is shining. Using any sponge or cloth didn’t help. I applied it directly with my hands as product is super thick.
