Lanolin is an anhydrous protective barrier ingredient used in DIY salves, creams, and richer body-care applications. It has a dense, waxy-emollient feel and is especially useful in products intended for rough, dry-feeling areas that need more cushion and protection. This is a raw ingredient rather than a finished cream, so it can be used directly or blended into formulas. It is certified cosmetic grade and suitable for vegetarian-friendly use according to the source.

♡ Why we love it: We choose to stock Lanolin because it is one of the most practical barrier-style ingredients for richer DIY body products. It brings a distinctive protective feel that can be hard to replace in salves and heavy creams.

  • Form: Anhydrous semi-solid
  • Features: 100% natural, vegetarian friendly, certified cosmetic grade
  • Skin Feel: Rich, protective, cushioning
  • Protective skin-barrier style products
  • DIY salves and creams
  • Rough-feeling heels and elbows
  • Richer body-care formulas needing more cushion
  • Targeted body products for dry-feeling areas

    Lanolin Is For:

  • Rich barrier-style body care
  • DIY makers creating salves and heavier creams
  • Rough-feeling heels and elbows that prefer a more protective finish
  • Lanolin Is Not For:

  • Ultra-light oil-only preferences
  • Vegan product ranges
  • Water-only formulas without an oil phase
  • As a Barrier Ingredient: Apply a small amount to dry-feeling areas.
  • As a DIY Cream Ingredient: Blend into richer salves and creams.
  • As a Targeted Body Product: Use on rough-feeling heels, elbows, and similar areas.
  • Processing Tip: Warm gently if needed to improve blending into oil-based formulas.
  • For external use only
  • Patch test before first use
  • Discontinue use if irritation occurs
  • Keep out of reach of children

Q: What does “anhydrous” mean here?
A: It means the lanolin contains no added water and is supplied in a concentrated barrier-style form.

Q: Can Lanolin be used in DIY creams and salves?
A: Yes. The source specifically supports use in DIY salves and creams.

Q: Is Lanolin a light ingredient?
A: No. It is better suited to richer, more protective products than very light body-care textures.

No more wetsuit chafe

Use as anti chafe for wetsuit while open water swimming in the ocean and it works a treat. A little sticky to handle but a small price to pay for no more chafe.

Hi there Rory,

This is such a brilliant use - thank you for sharing it!

We love hearing how our products show up in real life, and this is a perfect example. Chafing is no joke, so we’re really glad the lanolin is doing the job (even if it’s a little sticky along the way!).

We truly appreciate you taking the time to share this - it’s insights like these that others often wouldn’t think of.

Wishing you many more smooth swims ahead!

Best wishes,
Aiden & The EN Team

I think the only thing better than the lanolin

I think the only thing better than the lanolin was the service and attention to detail. Relevant updates at every stage. A lovely free thank you gift. They really make you feel valued as, a customer. Already made further purchases. Will definitely be my go-to site in future

Exactly what I was looking for in a body cream

Exactly what I was looking for to make up a mix with aqueous cream, 50/50 for very dry skin. No products in the shops had anything close to what I was looking for, maximum lanolin content in body cream was 1%

Pure joy shopping at Essentially Natural

Exellent speedy service , kept informed about the parcel. The anhydrous lanolin is super quality with hardly any smell and I can't wait to try the recipes given on the website...I even use it as is as a lip balm. The hydroxyethyl cellulose worked extremely well to "gel" the Aloe Vera liquid .
All over I have nèver been disappointed with any products bought at Essentially Natural and I LOVE the inforrmation and diy recipes given with the products . Even when you phone for assistance , everybody is helpful and kind .

Nature's gift

I'm so pleased that lanolin is available as I've been trying to find some for quite some time. This is a beautiful clean natural product that I've been incorporating into all my winter creams and salves for our dry winter, and what a difference it makes!

I am very happy with the lanolin. I especially use it rubbed into my nails as they tend to be very thin and split easily. Also on hands knees elbows and heels (after exfoliating.)

Lanolin

Pure lanolin. Not easy to find! Most companies add petroleum or isopropyl to it, which is a deal breaker for me. Soft and pliable with not a strong smell. Lovely product. The service is just amazing!!

Secondly, the product came sooner than expected. Delivery was effecient.
