Is lanolin dangerous? Here's what you should know!

Did you know that lanolin has been used for centuries as a remedy for various skin problems? As a pharmacist and mother of three, I know how important it is to find safe and effective products for our families. That's why I want to talk about lanolin today – an amazing natural product that we've been successfully using in our Mukisoft range for over 20 years.

What is wool wax?
Wool wax, also known as lanolin, is a natural fat extracted from the wool grease of sheep. This remarkable product keeps sheep's wool soft and water-repellent. However, its benefits extend far beyond sheep farming and are invaluable for our skin and the skin of our children and pets.

Is lanolin dangerous?
Many people ask this question, especially when it comes to caring for the sensitive skin of babies, children, and pets. Let me put your mind at ease and explain why wool wax is a safe and well-tolerated ingredient that has been used successfully for centuries. Wool wax, also known as lanolin, is extracted from the wool grease of sheep. It serves to keep sheep's wool soft and water-repellent. The composition of wool wax is very similar to the natural oils that our skin produces, making it a particularly skin-friendly care product.

Why do some people believe that lanolin is dangerous?
There are some misunderstandings and concerns regarding the safety of wool wax, which are mostly due to inferior or improperly manufactured products.
Here are the most common concerns and their explanations:
1. Pesticide residues: Some wool wax products may contain residues of pesticides used in sheep farming. These residues can cause skin irritation and raise health concerns.
Our solution: At Mukisoft and Gustl, we exclusively use pesticide-free lanolin. This means that our lanolin is thoroughly purified and tested for harmful substances to ensure it contains no harmful residues.
2. Allergies and skin reactions: Some people report allergic reactions to lanolin.
- Our solution: Wool wax is generally hypoallergenic and well tolerated.
Allergic reactions are rare and usually only occur in people who already have a strong predisposition to allergies. We carefully test our products to ensure they are suitable even for sensitive skin.
3. Clogged pores: It is sometimes claimed that lanolin can clog pores and cause acne.
- Our solution: Wool wax forms a breathable barrier on the skin, which
It locks in moisture without clogging pores. It is frequently used in products for dry and sensitive skin precisely because it is so well tolerated.
