Lanolin, produced by sheep, is a protective barrier on the wool fleece that keeps the fleece waterproof and deodorized. Lanolin is an emollient that closely resembles sebum produced by human oil glands. It is easily absorbed by the skin, providing an unparalleled level of hydration and maintaining optimal skin moisture levels. It protects the epidermis, restoring elasticity and softness leaving skin feeling supple and revitalized.
Lanolin heals the skin so well its uses can be traced through generations; from softening scars to comforting nursing mothers to healing chronically dry skin, eczema, burns, scrapes, and many other skin conditions. Also, for extra protection against cold and harsh winter weather conditions, a thin layer can be pre-applied to exposed skin before heading outdoors. Lanolin's versatility is truly remarkable, making it a trusted companion in skincare rituals.
Chickapea Farms' LanoSkin, 100% lanolin is from Merino sheep's wool and is pharmaceutical grade. It is safe for all ages of skin and can be used on lips, the face, and the body. A dab will also go a long way when applying.
LanoSkin's infused aromas are pure aromatherapy-grade essential oils and offer extra healing powers for the skin.
We feel immense gratitude and emotion each time we witness the healing impact of Chickapea Farms' 100% lanolin, LanoSkin. Testimonials have poured in, demonstrating its efficacy across various situations and conditions. While grandmas and farmers of the past recognized its healing power and kept it as a staple in their healthcare routines, many today remain unaware. Those who try it are consistently astonished by its potent healing abilities, affirming LanoSkin's versatility in addressing a diverse array of skin issues.
One of the materials Chickapea Farms primarily works with is wool, and initially, we weren't sure what to do with its lanolin. So, we shelved it. However, during the peak of the Covid crisis, a Detroit, Michigan doctor working on a Covid hospital floor reached out to us and asked if we could bottle up our lanolin for them, as the skin on their hands was becoming a health issue due to excessive handwashing. Responding promptly, we sent a case to the hospital. The doctor distributed it to colleagues, and the rapid improvement and lasting suppleness of their hands amazed everyone. This experience led us to provide lanolin to other frontline workers.
As Covid was peeking during the harsh winter months, a major snowstorm took power lines down in Michigan. Electrical crew members had to work on our property for part of the restoration. As we encountered them we noticed their cheeks were bright red. We offered the lanolin to them to heal the windburn and add a thin layer of protection for future outdoor work. Shortly after we got a call from our Electrical company requesting some for everyone, line and office workers alike.
Again, during Covid, everyone was over-washing their hands. But what got our attention the most, were the stories of senior citizens whose skin was already frail, leading it to become raw, cracked, bleeding, and too sore to touch. Again, we sent out some lanolin with incredible healing results. We received back not only wonderful testimonials but many memories from the seniors about how their parents and grandparents used to use lanolin.
We had one doctor put the lanolin to the test. He was an internal medicine doctor, and one of the best. He was in his early 60s at the time and had genetic eczema affecting the skin on both of his legs from the knees down since he was a little boy. Nothing he had ever tried before gave him relief, let alone heal and clear up his skin. He knew the lanolin would not cure the eczema as it was in his DNA, but he also got results he never expected. Very shortly after use the skin on his legs looked totally healthy and normal. He said as long as he lightly coated his legs every three days the skin stayed healed and supple. This was just the start of the severe and chronic stories we have been honored to bear witness to.
"Dear Chickapea Farms, This is Alice B. Please send our heartfelt appreciation to Troy for developing the amazing LanoSkin balm! Our family cannot thank him enough."
(See Tay's healing progress photos below)
Tay, a young child, suffering from severe eczema on all four extremities, had sought help from numerous doctors and dermatologists in Korea, Manhattan NY, and Ann Arbor MI, with no results. After a chance discovery of our lanolin at a local co-op in Ann Arbor, Tay's mom Alice, decided to try it out of desperation. For the first time, and to their astonishment, they saw immediate results. Alice told us that before the first lanolin application, Tay's skin was so bad it caused extreme pain just to put cool water on it. Tay's skin improved rapidly, and within a month allowed him to wear short-sleeve shirts and shorts without people staring, and swim in a pool without pain or discomfort during a vacation in Florida. This brought overwhelming joy and renewed hope to Tay's family and those involved in his journey.
