Before Beef Tallow, There Was Sheep-Derived Lanolin. Everything To Know About The Lowkey Skincare Ingredient Adored By Margot Robbie, Ancient Egyptians – and Us

Dry lips be gone! In partnership with our friends at Lano, we’re sitting down with Kirsten Carriol, founder of Lano, the Australian skincare brand known for its beauty editor darling “Lanolips” and what could very well be “The Best Lip Balm On Earth.” A glistening byproduct of sheep-shearing, lanolin has been favoured by the ancient Egyptians, celebrities like Margot Robbie, and us.

Tune in to hear about:  

  • What Lano’s founder learned about lanolin’s skin compatibility while growing up on her grandparents' sheep farm in South Australia – supported by molecular studies learned from Kirsten’s father, a DNA scientist
  • Which skin types can benefit from lanolin most, and who should avoid
  • Is lanolin an allergen? The case for not throwing out the proverbial baby with the bathwater
  • How Kirsten managed to marry lanolin with SPF for the juicy new Sun Balm SPF 30 Tropical Lip Balm launched this summer – 16 years in the making
  • Stay tuned to the end to hear about more best beauty imports that Kirsten recommends from the land down under
