NOW Foods Solutions Liquid Lanolin Pure 4 oz

Overview

NOW Foods' Liquid Lanolin Pure is a 4 ounce bottle of oil-form lanolin marketed for dry, rough lips and skin, and listed for hair, body and facial care. It is petrochemical, phthalate and gluten free, and unscented.

Lanolin is a heavy occlusive derived from wool grease, which is why the product is framed around intense protection rather than light daily hydration. The multi-use listing across hair, body and face reflects lanolin's traditional role as a barrier ingredient rather than a treatment for a single skin concern.

• 4 fluid ounce bottle
• Pure lanolin oil
• Petrochemical and phthalate free
• For hair, body and facial care

Who it's for

Suits anyone with dry, cracked lips or rough patches of skin who wants a heavy-duty occlusive rather than a light lotion. Less suited to those who dislike a thick, oily texture, since lanolin sits on top of skin rather than absorbing quickly.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Lanolin forms a physical barrier on the skin surface that slows moisture loss, which is why it is often reached for on cracked lips, chapped hands or dry elbows rather than as a facial moisturizer. Being petrochemical and phthalate free sets it apart from petroleum-based alternatives that do a similar barrier job.
