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.

A: Yes. The source specifically supports use in DIY salves and creams.

I have been adding the lanolin to my body butters, foot- & hand cream for a while now and don't want to be without it. Really nourishes & protects my skin from dryness - just great in this climate.
Love ordering my products from you as always kind & very prompt deliveries, really appreciated.
Hi I just wanted to say this product worked like a BOM my sun bum was for months red and I took him to doctor and the stuff they gave never real worked but after using this product it work in a few days I am just a little disappointed that I did not buy a bigger pot but this is a definite a must to have for your baby
The Lanolin I received is of good quality thank you very much.
Fantastic product and service
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 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 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%
Thank you for your brilliant service. Love the product and will reorder.
The product was as expected, but the service and delivery was beyond expectation, fantastic! The added gift of the sweet almond oil was a nice gesture, thank you.
This is a must have for a proper production. It's a best quality
Awesome product and truly not easy to get elsewhere. I wanted to order this product the create the Winter Protect Cream from the Essentially Natural Blog. Everything went so well, I love the recipe, the customer service is exceptional, delivery is fast and they keep me updated if there should be a delay. Thank you, excellent product!
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 .
A
Great product and efficient customer service.
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!
Great with my tallow balm
This is a wonderful product for any dry skin condition. It is soothing and emollient.
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.)
Very happy with the product
The Lanolin is fantastic. Used it on skin disorders (very dry skin) - soothing and healing. The product has a distinct smell.
It's my first time using this product and I have found so many uses for it. Its become a family used product. My husband uses it in his garage as well as for his bullet making. I use it for a skin issue I have. Kids have found uses for it to. Convenient and easy to use. Thank you
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!!
Firstly, when I enquired about the product. The gentleman i spoke to was super friendly and helpful when answering my questions.
Secondly, the product came sooner than expected. Delivery was effecient.
Thirdly, what an amazing product is amazing and did its job very well.
My daughter had a severe bum rash. Not only did it soothe her discomfort immediately. It also healed her bum rash within 2/ 3 daysbit was completely healed.
Service great and product is what I wanted
Wonderful product!! I am on Chemotherapy pills and my hands and feet are like burn wounds. The skin react the same as if you were burned but never heals. I have tried many products with no relief.
This is calming and healing!
Thanks
Very good quality, definately pure. Thank you.
Verry satisfied. Better quality and price.
I have been using Lanolin for the last 9 years. Due to Covid my supplier ran out and I had toe shop arround.
Found this product at Essentially Natural at a better price and better, more pure and clear quality.
Ill be a regular client now
This cream has been amazing in assiting the healing and regrowth of my husbands thumb. Part of it was chopped off in an accident. The healing has been amazing to watch. This is a fantastic product!
Excellent quality!!!! Will definitely order again
