Intensive Hydration from Nature
Lanolips 101 Ointment is a versatile balm that uses medical-grade lanolin to lock in moisture. While lanolin is a byproduct of wool production and not plant-based, it is a renewable resource and the brand ensures ethical sourcing from New Zealand sheep farmers.
Why It's Loved
The balm works on lips, cuticles, elbows, and any dry patches. It's fragrance-free and tinted in the Apple version with a hint of shimmer. Comes in a tube that lasts for months.
