Merino Lanolin Skin Creme

Active ingredient

Lanolin.

Product description

The Merino range of skin care products has been proudly manufactured in New Zealand for over 20 years. Merino products contain nourishing Lanolin, the natural oil in sheep’s wool. The Lanolin is the sheep’s natural nourisher and protector against the extremes of its environment.

To understand the benefits of the Merino range of skin care products, an understanding of Lanolin's unique qualities is helpful. Lanolin is the precious oily secretion from the skin of the sheep that becomes trapped in the sheep’s wool. When the sheep is shorn each year (the sheep’s wool is cut) the wool is washed, processed & the Lanolin Oil extracted & refined. These oils of Lanolin are extremely similar to the natural oils that we secrete from within our own skin. Thus Lanolin is the only animal (human compatible) oil obtainable without having to kill or harm the animal.

While most moisturising creams and lotions use either vegetable or mineral oils as their base oils, they do not have Lanolin’s compatibility to the oils of our skin. Merino use some mineral and vegetable oils as supplements, however, in our opinion, Lanolin forms the greatest replacement of our endlessly leached skin oils due to our environmental harshness (such as pollution) and modern way of life (air-conditioning, etc).

Merino Lanolin Skin Creme is the natural way to penetrate and nourish even the driest of skins. A rich, non-greasy multipurpose formula, Merino Lanolin Skin Cream is a unique blend of Lanolin, glycerine and moisturising oils. Merino Lanolin Skin Cream is available in 4 sizes – 50g, 100g, 200g or 500g.

Directions for use
