Lanolin is derived from the wool of sheep and is a natural moisturizer than helps keep dry, rough and chapped skin smooth and protected.  

Avocado Oil is an ultra rich organic oil that is a delightful treasure containing high amounts of Vitamin A, B1, B2, D, and E. Also contains amino acids, sterols, pantothenic acid, lecithin, and other essential fatty acids. Highly prized to those with skin problems such as eczema, psoriasis, and other skin ailments and our variety makes a lovely salad oil for dressings and condiments.

Wheat germ has been applied externally for numerous irritations including roughness of the skin, cracking, chaffing and many crafters of cosmetics use it successfully to help reverse the effects of wrinkling.(*Information from Mountain Rose Herbs)

Sweet Almond Oil is one of the most useful, practical, and commonly used oils. It is great for all skin types as an acting emollient and is best known for its ability to soften, soothe, and re-condition the skin. It is truly marvelous as a carrier oil and is equally superb for addition to body care products.(*Information from Mountain Rose Herbs). 

Vitamin E is great for preventing rancidity in cosmetics and it acts as an anti-oxidant in creams, lotions, baby products, cosmetics and more.

 Lanolin Oil has been centrifuged to have the solid wax particles removed and is more liquid with the same skin nourishing benefits.
