Lanolin, also known as wool wax, is extracted from the shorn wool of sheep. Lanolin was already used in skin care by the ancient Greeks. Because it is very similar to the skin's own lipids, it can penetrate deep into the skin's layers and acts as a moisturizer, absorbing water very well and releasing it again when needed. The wax also forms a protective film on the skin, reducing moisture loss. This makes the skin appear more supple and smooth. Especially in winter—but also in general—it helps prevent rough skin.
