FAQs

Questions

Is lanolin anhydrous safe for sensitive or baby skin?
Yes – it is gentle, non-comedogenic, and commonly used in baby care products for its excellent moisturising properties.

How is lanolin different from vegetable oils?
It is a waxy ester (similar to jojoba) rather than a triglyceride, giving it superior barrier protection and water-binding ability.

What’s the recommended usage rate?
Typically 1–10% in formulations. Higher percentages (up to 30–50%) can be used in rich balms and lip products.

Can it be used in hair care?
Yes – excellent for dry, coarse, or curly hair. It seals in moisture, reduces frizz, and adds shine.

How should I store it?
In a cool, dry place. In hot Australian climates, keep in a cool cupboard or refrigerate to maintain consistency.

Is it food grade?
No – it is cosmetic/pharmaceutical grade. Not intended for internal consumption.

Can I heat it?
Yes – it can be gently heated and added to emulsions or oil blends.
