HIGH ALTITUDE NATURALS LANOLIN is an extremely effective emollient in restoring and maintaining the all important hydration (moisture balance) of the stratum corneum, and so prevents drying and chapping of the skin. Equally important, it does not alter the skin's normal transpiration. Lanolin has been shown to cause the water in the skin to build up to its normal level of 10-30%, by retarding without completely inhibiting transepidermal moisture loss. Lanolin has the unique property of absorbing twice its own weight of water. Our Lanolin is 100% PURE Pharmaceutical grade USP, extracted from the wool of the New Zealand's Merino sheep, completely cruelty-free, and there is no animal testing conducted during the sheering processes...Enjoy...
