NOW Foods Pure Lanolin Skin Protectant — 7 oz Thick Jelly for Wind-Chapped & Very Dry Skin

NOW Solutions Pure Lanolin is a concentrated, sheep-derived skin protectant designed to shield and moisturize very dry or wind-chapped skin.

When wind, cold, or harsh environments leave skin feeling tight, rough, or flaky, a dense, occlusive moisturizer can reduce moisture loss and restore softness. NOW Solutions Pure Lanolin delivers a high-concentration lanolin jelly packaged in a 7-ounce tub and made in the USA. Because lanolin closely resembles the lipids naturally found in skin, it functions as an effective barrier while supporting skin’s smoothness and pliability without relying on petroleum-based alternatives.

How does this lanolin help when I’m exposed to wind and cold?

Lanolin forms a light, protective film on the surface of the skin that limits transepidermal water loss, which commonly worsens in windy or cold conditions. Its thick jelly texture creates an insulating layer that helps retain moisture and reduces further chapping or cracking during outdoor activities.

• Creates a barrier that reduces moisture loss in harsh weather
• Thick, jelly consistency stays in place under hats, scarves, or gloves
• Suitable for repeated applications throughout the day

Can I use NOW Pure Lanolin on very dry or rough areas like hands, feet, and lips?

Yes — this product is formulated for spot treatment on rough patches, cuticles, heels, and chapped lips. Because lanolin closely mimics skin’s natural oils, it helps soften and smooth areas that need intensive moisture without thinning out quickly.

• Works well for hands, heels, elbows, lips, and dry cuticles
• Apply a thin layer to targeted areas and reapply as needed
• Can be used overnight under socks or gloves for deeper hydration

What makes NOW’s lanolin different from petroleum jelly or other moisturizers?

Unlike petroleum-derived products, lanolin is a natural lipid extracted from sheep’s wool and is chemically similar to human skin oils. That similarity can improve compatibility with skin and enhance water retention while offering a thicker, more emollient feel than many water-based creams.

• Derived from wool; closely matches skin’s natural lipids
• Thicker, more emollient texture compared with many creams or gels
• GMP-quality manufacturing ensures purity and consistent formulation

How should I apply and store this lanolin for best results?

For targeted repair, use clean hands to apply a small amount to the affected area and spread gently until it forms a thin protective layer. Store the jar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and reseal the lid after each use to maintain product integrity.

• Use sparingly—small amounts spread widely due to high viscosity
• Best applied after bathing or handwashing to seal in moisture
• Keep container tightly closed and store at room temperature

Who is this for? NOW Solutions Pure Lanolin is aimed at people needing a concentrated, natural barrier moisturizer for targeted dry or rough skin: outdoor workers, athletes, cold-weather commuters, and anyone who prefers a lanolin-based alternative to petroleum jelly. It’s suitable for spot treatments on hands, feet, lips, and cuticles and for those who value GMP-quality, made-in-the-USA manufacturing. Avoid use if you have a known sensitivity to wool-derived ingredients; otherwise, it’s a practical choice for intensive skin protection in challenging environments.
