Directions

Gently melt the butter if needed and incorporate it into your cold process soap or personal care formula at the desired usage rate, blending thoroughly to ensure even distribution. Add to oils in CP soap before lye is introduced, or stir into lotions, balms, and creams during the oil phase. Always test your final formulation, as different butters can affect texture, hardness, and performance.

Warning

For external cosmetic use only. Not for ingestion. Avoid eyes. Discontinue if irritation occurs. Keep out of reach of children. Store tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.

Reviews

Major skin benefits with a smell.

"I don't mind the smell, but some probably do. Ever since I started making my own skincare products, I've wanted to use lanolin. When I ran across this, I jumped on it. I have really itchy skin year round, and it gets worse during winter. I formulated a light cream that has menthol in it, which helps a lot, but including this lanolin has been a game changer! I use peppermint e. o. along with the menthol, but can still smell the lanolin for several minutes after application. I also formulated some CP soap that includes a small amount of this, waiting for it to cure to give it a try!"

I used the lanolin butter

"I used the lanolin butter to make a hand scrub. I love the product, something I learned is you need a very small amount of this product. It goes a long way. I also used it in my chapstick and it adds a great protection on your lips."

— Cynthia G. (5/5)

I love all the butters

Hmmmmm. . . . . .

"I have used lanolin for years in lip care products and it's one of my absolute favorite ingredients. I've ordered it from a few places over the years, and the best type is the deodorized pharmaceutical grade because it's absolutely odorless and is a pale sunny yellow color. Lanolin that's not pharmaceutical grade has a strong odor to it and is a deeper color that has almost a faint greenish undertone to it. I've ordered lanolin from WSP in the past, and it was an odorless product, so I thought it would be the same now. I was running low on my supply of lanolin (ordered from elsewhere when I order materials from another supplier), so decided to add a small tub to my most recent WSP order for fragrance oils to see me through for a bit. Holy cow. . . was I shocked. It is NOT the same as I've received in the past from WSP and I'm thankful I only ordered a small container. This has a strong ""sheepy"" odor and is the typical deeper murkier color. Anyone who is familiar with sheep and lanolin that hasn't been deodorized will know what I'm talking about. As soon as I opened the package and could see the color through the jar, I knew based on the color this isn't the odorless lanolin. I see other reviews here talking about ""finally a lanolin without an unpleasant odor"". . . . and that used to be the case with WSP when I've ordered it in the past, but what I received this time is certainly not the same as what I've received before. :-("

Excellent addition to my soap!

"I added this to a tried and true recipe, and you could tell instantly that something was wonderfully different! It's very gentle and skin loving. My soap testers have already given me the thumbs up to keep it in the recipe. Will be purchasing a larger quantity."

The finest quality

"I am so excited to finally get the lanolin without any unpleasant odor. Now i can make my hand and feet salves with this. Thankyou WSP for providing a great product that delivers great results."

— Sadia (5/5)

Used for wool care

"I really like the quality of this Lanolin. It is great. I have used it for caring for wool diaper covers, which need to periodically be re-lanolized. Works great and leaves my hands soft."

— JENNIFER (5/5)

A beautiful product!

"I could not love this product any more. Simple, pure, no added anything lanolin. Perfect."

Q&A

Is this mixed with another butter or is it pure lanolin: Hi Trudi! It is pure lanolin.
Where is the lanolin sourced from?: Country Of Origin: India
Where is the lanolin sourced from?: emailed noreen
Does this lanolin have a strong sheep smell?: Our Lanonlin Butter has little or no scent.
Could this be used in place of any of the butter blends in lotion? I`m trying to find a replacement for the blends, which most contain palm oil.: No, these are not even substitutions as the consistencies are very different. If you want to take out the butter blends, we recommend using a soft butter in its place such as Shorea (Sal) Butter. The end result may vary slightly.
