Wool is not something we who love animals use either. Sheep are not treated like we treat our cats and dogs,brushing their fur carefully. There’s something about sheep that breaks my heart even more, although I believe all animals should be treated with kindness of left alone… I think it first was that people seem to not understand that lamb is a baby sheep, and eat so much.
We had a Cornish Rex cat who looked so much like a sheep. She was so popular, people came just to see her 🙂

I feel sick reading this. I’ve just used Lano Hands by Lanolips (an Australian company). I submitted this company for your consideration since it prides itself on being against animal testing before coming across this article by chance and being educated about Lanolin as an ingredient in skincare. Suffice to say, I’ve thrown the tube in the bin. Thank you so much for this amazing website.

In reply to Tiffany Lynn. By cruelty free, I mean free from animal testing. All products featured here on Logical Harmony are also vegan, which means that they don't contain any animal or animal-derived ingredients. If it helps at all, Lush marks all their vegan items with a green "V" on the packaging.

In reply to Danna Q. Thanks for letting me know, Danna. That's disappointing to hear. I just updated their listing on the brands list.

I just found the piCture pOlish Nail Butter contains lanolin. They are listed as %100 vegan and their website claims the same.

In reply to Alana. It can be confusing at Lush because they have so many vegan products. It's so easy to overlook something. But it happens to all of us sometimes. :) At least they have a great return policy!

Yeah unfortunately Lush does use Lanolin in some of their products. I bought their “American Cream” conditioner recently & it’s there in the ingredients…they even include a little picture of a sheep. Needless to say I won’t be buying that again and it just goes to show you always need to read ingredients – even from brands you trust!!

Now I will not wear anything that contains lanolin even though the product might say cruelty free.

Thank you so much for educating me on this. I’d never really learned about lanolin. You really explain it in a way that makes it super clear and easy to digest. Often, a google search will really require some digging to get a clear idea of what an ingredient is – there are usually lots of technical scientific terms involved that you’d never hear, unless you worked in a product formulation lab. I think you’re doing a great job with these quick animal ingredient references.

“do you really want to put something on your skin that’s also used to prevent metal from rusting? ”

NO!!

Why do brands feel the need to put animal products in their formulations ?
I just don’t understand, I’m sure it is way easier to use plants & it doesn’t hurt anyone!

I avoided lanolin anyway because wool (which I also don’t wear) makes me itch and I suspected lanolin would also irritate my skin… but now that I know it is not from wool production I have yet another reason to avoid it!

Wow. Thanks for that because I too was under the impression that lanolin came from wool production.
