FAQ: Why is lanolin so effective for dry skin?

Lanolin is chemically similar to human skin lipids - it integrates into the skin's outer lipid layer, softening and waterproofing from within rather than just sitting on the surface. This makes it one of the most effective natural emollients for severely dry skin, cracked heels and chapped hands. It forms an occlusive barrier that dramatically reduces transepidermal water loss while remaining breathable.

FAQ: Is Merino Lanolin Creme suitable for cracked heels?

Yes - lanolin-based creams are among the most effective treatments for cracked heels. Apply generously to clean, dry heels nightly and cover with cotton socks to maximise absorption overnight. Regular application will soften even severely cracked heel skin over 2-4 weeks. For very deep or painful heel cracks, consult our pharmacist for additional treatment recommendations.
