Normally lanolin is used by nursing mothers to sooth overused nipples, however, I have discovered that it is a cure-all for skin problems.
Lanolin comes for sheep, they secrete it onto their wool coats in order to waterproof themselves against the elements. It is hypoallergenic and antibacterial, it is safe for even newborns to ingest and I've never heard of anyone who was allergic to it. The drawbacks are that it is thick, hard to rub in, and smells like a barn (according to my husband.) If you don't mind that....
You can use lanolin for:
-eczema
-dry and chapped hands or lips
-diaper rash
-healing cuts......
The trick to getting the lanolin to absorb, when rubbing it on your hands, is combining it with regular hand cream.
