Sticky. Smells like the zoo. But gets the job done.

When I saw all the reviews regarding the smell, I was a little concerned; though, having many Irish wool sweaters in the family, as well as using wool wash for my knits, I am no stranger to the smell of lanolin. That being said, from the reviews I assumed that the smell would be extremely pungent! I just want everyone to know that it honestly is not bad at all—it just has a hint of that “barnyard” smell. With lanolin literally being the oil produced by sheep, I honestly don’t know why so many people were surprised by the smell; it’s almost like complaining that mead tastes like honey. But, I digress! I have extremely sensitive skin and for the past year or so I have found that I have developed a reaction to beeswax—specifically when it comes to lip balms. I’ve only been wearing this lanolin for a little over 24hrs now, and I can already tell a considerable difference! My lips feel incredibly soft and retain their moisture for a substantially longer time than other balms (and let it be noted that I currently have bronchitis and have been blowing my nose a ton and drinking lots of fluids). It has the consistency of a super thick honey, or a sticky wax. I appreciate that it’s a natural remedy for my skin issues, and the smell doesn’t bother me one bit! It’s more evident upon first application, but fades quickly. Definitely recommend!

I’ve got the worst chapped, peeling, bleeding, painful lips from an autoimmune condition and medications. This purchase was a last ditch effort to heal my lips, after trying anything and everything else. Not only did it work, it performed a minor miracle in two days. TWO DAYS. Not a hint of peeling or cracking for a month now. Idkw people complain about the smell - it smells like an Irish fisherman sweater, because it’s full of natural lanolin from wool. Apply bf sleep and it’ll still be working when you wake up. Also, I appreciate the company not using “nipple” on the label, as my jar is always on a coffee table or countertop and people would have questions. Very thick and gooey which is why it stays on, but can be combined with appropriate essential oils.

I updated my review to four stars because I just found out this product is supposed to smell like this. Oops! I’m used to it and now I swear by it because hydrates my lips like nothing else can. I use it mostly when I woke up and when I go to bed and it keeps my lips plump because of the intense hydration. However, I have switched to another brand that delivers their product in glass. It smells a bit rancid and I’m not sensitive to bad smells so I continued to use it but I find that using it with my sip straw can make the drink taste bad so I stopped using it. Ideally I will start using it at night only. It’s a good deal, though, but now I know why?

I love this product, great quality. It deeply nourishes my dry skin and chapped lips. I only need to apply it 1-2 times a day, unlike other skin care products that need constant reapplication. I read other reviews about the smell, but it doesn’t have a smell. Naturally sourced and pure lanolin is great for all skin types. I will be purchasing again, and I’d recommend this product to anyone.

As a person who has lived on a beef farm since day 1, I thought the reviews were being dramatic, but have no doubt this smells very strongly of sheep. I was going to return the product but I was desperate to find something that would stop the itching of my stretch marks as I enter the last month of my pregnancy. 3 days of using it once a day has done wonders to my skin. No more insatiable itching, but trust the smell still lingers after hours and .nothing. masks the smell completely

It took me a while to reach a decision to purchase this brand of Lanolin because I wanted it to be of good quality and I am very happy that I chose this brand. It's 100% pure and natural, unprocessed Lanolin which has a slight scent reminiscent of being from Real Sheep. So far I have used it to heal my sore lips as well as to heal very painful finger splits in only 2 days; whereas nothing else worked even though some skin preparations were much, much more expensive. In order to get the best results from the lanolin treatment I applied this on all my fingers at night just before going to sleep and then I put on oversized, brown jersey gloves which I kept on overnight. I'm very happy with the results.

Nice clean moisture lock for my skin after cleansing and moisturizer. It's also great for helping heal my skin where I recently had surgery and stitches removed. I love this because it has no weird ingredients I can't pronounce and I know it is actually good for my skin. A tiny bit goes a long way. The jar is small but it will probably last a year.
