Lanolips 101 Ointment - Lanolin Lip Balm for Smooth Hydrated Healthy Lips - Multipurpose Ointment with Lanolin Oil

Lanolips is one of the few products that truly helps when lips are extremely dry. The texture is thick and nourishing, and it provides long-lasting moisture rather than sitting on top of the skin. The Coconutter scent is subtle and pleasant without being overpowering. I also like that it works well for cuticles and other dry spots, not just lips. A little goes a long way, making the small tube last longer than expected. Read more

This lip balm doesn’t only protect and moisturize your lips, but also makes them look healthy and glossy. Bought it in strawberry and coconut scents, both were really nice and delicate. Read more

Very thick and nourishing! I feel like it stays on for hours and has a very nice taste and smell! A little goes a long way so I’ll have this for a while. Read more

I find that this product stays on quite well and that I have no reaction to it and I’m happy that it’s clean product as well. My only real complaint is I feel like the color doesn’t show up is what I was expecting. It does add a decent shine though, but I was hoping the color would be more saturating. I also like the moisturizing effects of it because it’s very dry where I’m at, so I really appreciate that as well. I wish I could give it a 4.5 but I can’t give it a five. Read more

In short, I think this is a fairly good product worth, at the very least, a try! I want to start this off with a precaution to those that might otherwise not make the connection: do NOT use this product if you're allergic to wool, as this is a wool derivative item and can cause irritation and reaction to those allergic to wool. That aside, here is my opinion of the overall product, as someone with sensitive skin and dry lips, if you're looking for a more in-depth analysis of my experience: This product feels like a salve, similar to Aquaphor or other types of petroleum-based skin products that serve as a barrier to keep in moisture that is already on the lips in. I find that, mixed with the heat of the skin, even adding a bit too much of Aquaphor means it melts all over my mouth area a bit too easily, and I suffer through having a greasy, unmanageable moment with similar petroleum products all too often to seek out these salve-like lip balms. This, not being a petroleum based product, intrigued me. Lanolips, however, can be felt immediately melting upon your lips as you're applicating it, and helps to prevent you from adding too much because it's obvious almost immediately how it will spread over your lips. The application tip has a wide opening that allows for decent sized dollop to surface. A little will go a long way with this product, so you only need to push the smallest amount out to cover your lips well. In the images I've listed below, I try to show off the shine it leaves upon the lips -- it is quite slick and very moisturizing. Once melted (and it melts pretty quickly), it turns into a sort of lip gloss/lip oil mixture that I find quite pleasant and way more manageable than regular glosses and lip oils. When trying to see how long it could go without reapplication, I found that you can easily go at least 4 hours without reapplication, and this was also while I was chronically rubbing it between my lips the entire 4 hours I was testing it (it's just something I do when I get new products, don't ask me why), and I also found that my lips were left very soft and supple after the glossiness wore off. All of this was after my very first use. I was also drinking water with a straw while I was testing this out, and it is most likely the reason it only lasted 4 hours. I, then, applied it before bed with a guaranteed 8 hours of sleep planned, and woke up with the balm still fairly glossy on my lips when I woke up the next morning. To play it safe, I got the mint scented option, which I always find to be the best sort of "control" scent if they don't offer an unscented or more neutral type of scent. While there was a slight tingle with the mint, there was no plumping effect (if you're at all curious about the strength of the mint, it's very mellow/subtle, thus the comment made about mint =/= plumping effect, in case anyone was wondering; there is nowhere, as far as I know, that states that the mint scent is intended for plumping of any kind, but they sometimes go hand-in-hand depending on the strength and/or if actual mint oil is used). It's a lot more subtle than other popular lip balms like the peppermint oil original Burt's Bees lip balm, to give you a familiar basis. I'd say it's about half as "potent" as the Burt's Bees, which is why I usually use. Do I think this is a good product? I should say, very much so! I would even be willing to continue purchasing other scents to see which one I like the most -- I'm very interested in the Raspberry Shortcake scent. I don't think it's something I'll purchase every time when I need a lip balm because, though it's pretty good, it will typically fall out of what I'd usually budget for a tube of lip balm when a tub of shea butter or cheaper, closely effective, lip balms are, well, much cheaper. However, if the price is something that scares you off from trying it, I'd say a close second that sort of mimics this glossy and moisturizing effect is Burt's Bees Ultra Conditioning Moisturizing Lip Balm gives a very similar effect while being almost a third of the price. Definitely worth a try if you're into a very hydrating, skin-improving lip ointment that shares a glossy appearance similar to a lip oil or lip gloss. I hope this helps you decide! I've had nothing but luck with this lip balm so far. Read more

After years of trying lip balms/chapsticks/ointments/glosses this one is THE ONE. A little goes a long way. Starts off slightly tacky but soaks in and leaves your lips looking and feeling moisturized and plump. I use it during the day and apply again at night. I love the scent of the watermelon and peach and that it’s a low ingredient least for all the ingredient conscious people! I’ve spent double the amount on products that don’t compare in quality or effectiveness. Just buy it. Read more

Smells EXACTLY like a real glazed donut. I was so appalled. Texture is great and leaves my lips feeling hydrated. A bit sticky initially but then meets the consistency of twistable lip balm after it dries down a bit. I love it! Read more

TLDR; Overpriced but I still really enjoy this product and it’s better than the majority of chapsticks I’ve tried. Instantly softens lips and it’s shiny so it gives a lipgloss effect. The only product I like as much as this one & can compare this to was the Badgers Tin Lip Butter that had similar consistency, quality, and shine. ——— Lanolin seems to work well for me and this is really good for peeling lips. Instantly softens my lips and It’s also shiny so it doubles as lipgloss for me; it has the same consistency as an overnight lip balm, but it’s not thick and gloopy like a traditional lipgloss. One application usually lasts a couple hours. I tend to avoid scented products but this one’s okay for me; the coconutter smell is pleasant and isn’t overpowering, and the smell goes away within 10 minutes anyways. For the amount you get though, $13 is expensive. It’s no more than 3/4ths full (almost only half-full), and the tube only lasts me about a month and a half of consistent use so this would cost a lot annually. I’m wondering if I should buy lanolin in bulk and stick to that instead since I’m pretty sure the only ingredients in this is lanolin & fragrance. Read more
