Lanolin, USP

I love tkb’s lanolin I use it for my lipsticks.

As desc

The lanolin is great in my new cream I made.

If you make balms or glosses and don't have any qualms with being vegan this is such a good ingredient! It adds a sticky, creamy and waterproof feel to the final product. Did you know that several lip glosses on the market also contain the synthetic vegan version of this?

The only con is that it smells strong and sheepy despite being USP grade. Don't use too much and use some flavor/fragrance oil to mask it.

I rated this 5 stars since it's lanolin at a good price and it does what it's supposed to do. However, I disagree with the reviewers saying it's odorless. It smells bad, but I don't expect anywhere to sell ultra refined grades unless I'm at a drugstore buying them at $15 for an ounce.

Here's what I like:
- Excellent occlusive
- Very creamy, great in lip balms and glosses. (Did you know that many glosses have synthetic lanolin under the name of Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2?)
- Great texture

Cons:
- Bad smell out the bag
- Not vegan

For me, the smell didn't appear in the final product, but I only used 5% in my balms. I'd buy this if you plan on making thick things like balms and you aren't a vegan brand.
