Lanolin (Cera lanae)

Other names: Adeps lanae

Harm score: 1 (Natural substances)


Lanolin, also known as adeps lanae, cera lanae, or sheep wax, is a fatty substance extracted from sheep's wool. This amber-coloured fat is produced by the sheep's glands and its main purpose is to protect the wool and skin of sheep from adverse weather conditions. Its unique properties, especially its ability to moisturise and hydrate the skin without causing acne or irritation, make it very popular in the cosmetic industry.

The most common products that contain lanolin include hand and body creams, lip balms or moisturizing masks. This fatty substance can form a soft film on the skin, which prevents water loss and helps it retain its natural moisture. In addition, lanolin is also used in industry to make soaps, shampoos and other skin and hair care products. And not only in the cosmetics industry. Lanolin is also used in technical applications, for example as a lubricant in motor oil or as a component in textile and leather products. It is important to mention that lanolin is a natural and renewable raw material that is obtained gently without harming animals.
