NOW Foods Liquid Lanolin Oil 4 oz — Intense Moisture & Protective Barrier for Dry Lips and Skin

Derived from sheep's wool and refined into a clear, water-extracted oil, this 4-ounce bottle of NOW Foods Liquid Lanolin offers a heavy-duty emollient option when ordinary moisturizers fall short. The formula mirrors natural skin oils, creating a protective barrier against environmental stressors like wind and cold. Packaged in a UV-protectant bottle and manufactured under GMP standards, it’s a simple single-ingredient solution: lanolin oil.

How should I use liquid lanolin for cracked lips?

Apply a small drop directly to clean, dry lips as needed. Because lanolin is thick and occlusive, a little goes a long way; it forms a protective layer that helps prevent moisture loss and reduces irritation from rubbing or cold air.

• Use a cotton swab or clean fingertip to avoid contamination.
• Apply before bed for overnight repair and protection.
• Reapply sparingly throughout the day in harsh weather.

Can I use NOW Foods Liquid Lanolin on other dry or rough skin areas?

Yes — lanolin is suitable for localized areas of very dry, rough, or irritated skin such as cuticles, elbows, heels, and around the nose. It acts as a heavy-duty moisturizer and emollient to help smooth and soften thickened skin when used consistently.

• Massage into rough patches after bathing to trap moisture.
• For thicker areas like heels, cover with a sock overnight to enhance absorption.
• Avoid applying on large broken wounds or deep skin lesions without professional advice.

What makes NOW Foods Liquid Lanolin different from regular oils or balms?

Lanolin is chemically similar to human sebum, so it adheres well to skin and delivers long-lasting occlusive protection that many plant oils don’t provide. This product is water-extracted and offered as a single-ingredient lanolin oil, without additional fragrances or additives, in a UV-resistant bottle for stability.

• Single-ingredient lanolin oil — no added fragrances or fillers.
• Water-extracted purity for a clear, stable oil consistency.
• UV-protectant packaging and GMP quality assurance from NOW Foods.

Is there anything I should watch for when using lanolin?

Lanolin is generally well tolerated but, like any natural ingredient, it can cause sensitivity in some people. Perform a small patch test on the forearm if you have highly reactive or allergy-prone skin, and discontinue use if redness or itching develops.

• Patch test before first use if you have sensitive skin.
• Avoid contact with deep cuts or infected areas unless advised by a clinician.
• Store in a cool place away from direct sunlight to preserve quality.

Who is this for? NOW Foods Liquid Lanolin is intended for anyone seeking an intensely protective, single-ingredient emollient for very dry, rough, or wind-chapped skin and lips. It’s suited to people who prefer straightforward, minimal-ingredient care — caregivers treating localized dry spots, outdoor workers facing harsh conditions, or anyone needing a heavy-duty barrier to lock in moisture. Because it’s potent and occlusive, it works best when used selectively on problem areas rather than as an all-over light moisturizer.
