NOW Solutions, Pure Lanolin, Wind and Harsh Environment Skin Protectant, Thick Jelly, For Rough Dry Skin, 7-Ounce

I bought this over a year ago. Just getting ready to re order. I have been very happy with it. Yes, its thick - After all it is LANOLIN! I put it on my hands and wait a few seconds while it softens. It will NOT get runny like hand lotion. It is NOT hand lotion. Some said it smells bad. Well, it is LANOLIN and it smells like lanolin. That should surprise no one. It comes from the oil of sheep skin/wool. One reviewer said it smelled like sheep. What else would it smell like? My nose doesn't smell it unless I put my hand right up to my nose. If you prefer the scent of wildflowers, I suggest buying some scented lotion maybe with lanolin as an additive. I wash my hands a LOT because my daily routine soils my hands all day long. I like this lanolin BECAUSE it is thick. It doesn't wash off the first time I wash my hands. I can still feel it after washing my hands several times. It helps to keeps my hands soft and prevents drying. I live on the east coast in PA, and the winter air here is VERY drying. I wouldn't use it if I was going through a receiving line shaking hands, but I do "wear" it around the house in the winter time and at night. If you apply it an hour or so before bedtime, most of it will soak in before retiring or you can wear cotton gloves to bed. I have done that if my hands or cuticles were severely dry. And to the reviewer who insisted that anyone who says it doesn't stink is lying - get a life. IT SMELLS LIKE LANOLIN. I don't find it offensive. Garlic smells like garlic. Limberger cheese smells like limberger cheese. Lanolin smells like lanolin. I like this product, it works, and it is priced right. I am happily reordering.

I never knew about lanolin until I started searching for products to help soften my feet and my boyfriend's lips. I have used so many things and some worked a little bit but I have never been completely satisfied with the results. Well I decided to try this pure lanolin because I love other products this brand sells and I couldn't be happier with the results! 1st of all the price is great!! You don't need a lot so it will last awhile. The 1st time I tried it I put some regular lotion and some body oil on my feet and after that soaked in I put a a little on the bottom of my feet and then put cotton soak on then went to bed. When I got up my feet felt so soft! Im on my feet all day at work so my feet will never feel super soft but they def feel a lot softer. I can't wait to see how soft my feet get after using it for a long time. And as for my boyfriends lips...omg!!! They did a complete 180!! His lips always looked so dry and gross...... So I told him to bush his lips when he brushed his teeth before bed and I put a very small amount on his lips and the skin around. After 1 night his lips looked and felt so much softer. Now we both do that every night and our lips have never been softer. And there's no more cracking on our lips. I don't use it anywhere else on my body but I'm sure wherever you need extreme moisture (like your knees elbows, hands, etc....) this is def the product you need to get . Oh... Yes it kinda of has a smell to it but I noticed I don't really smell it when you use a small amount on my lips and I never noticed my feet smelling like it once it's soaks in. So don't listen to the reviews of people saying it smells so bad they can't use it..... It's definitely not that bad.

So far I love this stuff and plan to buy it again. It's worked great for my 6 month old's eczema. It's perfect for right after his bath to lock in moisture since it's very thick and a bit sticky. Just have to rub it between my hands for a few seconds to warm it up or it can be difficult to apply. I prefer to use it at night since it's sticky and has that lanolin smell, but I don't find it offensive at all. Plus my hands have never been softer!

I mainly use this on my feet for dryness, and it works great for sealing in moisture. I prefer applying a light moisturizer underneath since this acts more like a protective barrier than a standalone moisturizer. It’s also very thick, so a little goes a long way, and it can be pretty difficult to wash off your hands afterward. It does have a slight earthy scent, just something to keep in mind if you’re sensitive.

I didn't believe the reviews about the strong smell. But man oh man, it smells like a sheep's PATOOT! I finally tried it on my 8-month-old baby's eczema patches on his face. They were really dry, even scaly, and seemed to cause him discomfort, understandably. Aquaphor wasn't cutting it and I was desperate. After a few weeks of regular use of the lanolin, he's back to near perfect baby cheeks! It's a huge difference. So, color me impressed (though my nose isn't).

My daughter was having an extremely bad diaper rash due to a sensitivity in my diet from breastfeeding as we were resolving that we had to wait for the acidity in her poop to go down and something that would allow her bottom to heal from blistering. We needed a good barrier that was natural and healing. This worked better than desitin and Vaseline. We got desitin because we were desperate for something that would help her bottom heel however after reading the ingredients knowing it would be bad ..We were rather mortified that we were putting petroleum products and talc on our baby and they have added fragrance. But we needed a barrier and something that had zinc in it. Zinc is great for healing and there are other products that we can use that have the zinc in it but for barrier that was natural we chose this.. We would use something was thinking it and alternate it with this if needed. And I did not want to use petroleum, or talk or fragrance or some other added ingredients. So we needed something that acted just like Vaseline without being a petroleum byproduct. I was using my nipple cream for a barrier But even that wasn't thick enough for my liking the purple tube is mixed with something so that it is much more appliable to store nipples but is not super thick for diaper cream. This tub was very thick and worked great I used it after we would dry her off with every diaper change until her diaper rash cleared up. It does not have a strong lanilon smell although I love the smell of lanolin. So long story short this product is great It is thick a little bit goes a long way it'll stay on her bottom until it has wiped off between diaper changes. Helps her a lot at night If we're not catching her diaper change right away. This creates a great barrier creates great moisture is lasting for longer than any other product that I've gotten for diaper rash on the shelf. We use this at night with a disposable diaper now for routine care for her bottom. Just remember that this is not cloth diaper safe this will waterproof any cloth that it is applied to. So it is great as a diaper cream and great if you're using it with a disposable diaper but this is not something that you use for cloth diapering mamas unless you are trying to waterproof something it will ruin the absorbency. This also works as a nipple cream You just need to allow it to get warm between your fingers before applying It is safe for ingestion for infants. It's also great as a lip balm and other chapped areas..

If you're looking for a pleasantly perfumed product, this isn't it. Works great...smells, well, like I've been out working in a stable. A little goes a long way. Good value for the money...

The smell is strong and persistent, still noticeable after washing your hands, so if you can't bear the smell of a barn or if you'll be around people, buy something else. Otherwise this is just what it should be - thick, soothing, waterproof - and a good value for lanolin, so I use it only on my feet, only at night, only with socks. After applying it, I wash my hands a couple times so they only smell like I've been in a barn but am not actually standing in one (which I'm okay with), and in the morning hands and feet feel great.

This has fixed my dehydrated hands and my favorite leather chair. My chair is shining. Using any sponge or cloth didn’t help. I applied it directly with my hands as product is super thick.
