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.

Super moisture. Been using this on my very dry and brittle fingernails. Had made a huge difference. Also on my very dry and cracked heals - wonderful stuff!

It's just as advertised. The "farm" smell was too much for me, but I can't say I wasn't warned. The product itself is effective, but I need to stick with the more processed name brand version made for nursing mothers b/c we just can't with the smell. I use lanolin as lip balm daily and will pay more not to heave when I smell the product I use. If you can get past the smell, this product would be great for multiple uses. Five stars because it is clear what you're getting, including the smell.

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..

First things first, I’m not sensitive to scents. However, this does smell like a barn.With that said though, this works and works incredibly well.Any dry, cracked skin will be soothed, protected and rectified with this.It has many different uses. Minor burns, scrapes will instant feel better. I apply a thin coat to the dry delicate skin under my eyes. It not only moisturizes better than any expensive cream.I live in New England where the cold, brutal winters cause the skin on my hands to crack and bleed. This literally stops that.I use it on the pads of my dog’s paws to protect from the ice melt on the sidewalks.One of my best friends is a mom who is nursing her infant. This has helped her better than anything.

This is the most amazing product I have ever used on my very dry feet and elbows. You do have to wait till it gets somewhat "defrosted". Which is about a few hours once you open it and inspect it, it was very solid when I first opened it. So the next day it changed to a more flexible and "creamier" form, making it easier to use. It DOES the job! Leaving skin and feel VERY soft! So goal accomplished! It absorbs quickly as the product promised. Now the one thing it does have is a strong smell, remember it IS pure Lanolin. It may be up to you to mix it with something so it can smell better. But since I use other natural products along with this is dies out the scent. I am very surprised at this product's ability to solve my embarrassing dry feet and elbows problem. Mission accomplished!
