Look After your Hands and Nails with Lanolips

The winter season is just around the corner and thankfully, Lanolips have got my hands and nails covered to combat dry hands and weak nails! My hands gradually become dry towards this cold and chilly season, so to hydrate my hands and pamper them I've been trialling Lanolips Rose Balm Intense for Very Dry Hands & Nails (A$15.95/50ml). The Rose Balm Intense Hand & Nail cream is a pale pink cream which is relatively thick in consistency and is enriched with medical-grade Lanolin, Shea Butter, Cocoa Seed Butter, Wheat Germ Oil and rich natural oils to protect and nourish the hands and nails. The formula also contains Rose Oil which makes this cream smell lovely with a hint of musk. The scent is not overpowering but subtle which disappears after awhile. The cream does take awhile to absorb and I found that you only need a small amount as this formula feels quite rich.

To condition my nails, I apply Lanolips 101 Ointment (A$17.95/17.5ml) which is a multipurpose balm that instantly hydrates and keeps my nails moist and supple.  I use 101 Ointment after applying the Rose Balm Intense cream to target my weak nails. Being a multipurpose balm, 101 Ointment could also be used for chapped and dry lips, dry nasal passages and critically dry skin patches. 101 Ointment is formulated from 100% naturally derived medical-grade Lanolin which is no wonder why my cuticles feel well looked after! The 101 Ointment balm is quite thick and balmy in texture and slightly sticky once applied. My nails feel very well nourished when used in the evening as a night treatment. I've also used 101 Ointment on my lips, however, I am quite particular with lip balms which do not contain any sun factor, so this balm is mainly used for my cuticles.

Overall, Lanolips Rose Balm Intense for Very Dry Hands & Nails is a rich cream which nourishes and hydrates my hands effectively, leaving a completely matte finish, while Lanolips 101 Ointment  is a handy multipurpose balm which conditions my nails and dry skin patches. These two products come in cute travel friendly sizes which are perfect for the handbag!

Review: Lanolips Lemonaid Lip Aid and Lip Ointment with Colour

A few weeks ago,  I received a lovely package from Primped! I had no idea what it contained and to my surprise there was a pair of Lanolips products for me to try as part of their loyalty program. I received the Lanolips Lemonaid Lip Aid and the famous Lip Ointment with Colour and SPF.

Lanolips was created by Kirsten Carriol who spent her childhood in a sheep farm in Lucindale, South Australia. She was inspired by the natural substance called lanolin which is a natural moisturising wonder that can be obtained from freshly shorn sheep's wool. From there on, she created an all natural lanolin lip ointment. So here I am today using the amazing moisturising properties of lanolin from my new Lanolips products.

Lanolips products are 100% natural and contains the core ingredient Ultra Pure Medical Grade Lanolin. Lanolips formulas contain no chemicals and additives.

Lanolips Lemonaid Lip Aid and Lip Ointment are both housed in a plastic tube with a twist top cap. The tube has no applicator, in fact, the tip is flat and not ideal to directly use the product straight from the tube. I had to resort to using a lip brush, which in the end wasn't much of a big deal as the lip brush helped to evenly distribute the product across my lips. The formula has a rich and creamy consistency and there is no stickiness at all! The texture is actually dense (more dense than Blistex Lip Conditioner) and I sometimes found it a little difficult to squeeze out some product, however, once applied to the lips it melts and leaves a protective layer on the lips. 

Lemonaid Lip Aid is a lip treatment which contains organic lemon oil to naturally exfoliate the lips. The formula contains 70% of the core lanolin ingredient. The scent is a delicious lemonaid scent, however, it does disappear within a few seconds after application. There are subtle shimmers and it leaves my lips looking soft, smooth and very glossy. This is a great lip treament product which I slather on to heal cracked, dry or damaged lips. The balm is so gentle that calms and soothes sore and damaged lips. 

Lanolips Lip Ointment is one of the most popular products from the Lanolips range. This lip ointment contains 60% ultra pure grade lanolin, colour, vitamin E and SPF15. There are five different shades available: Rhubarb, Rose, Apples, Sunshine and Dark Honey. I have the shade Rhubarb, which is a nice red shade that enhances the natural colour of my lips. I prefer to use Lanolips Lip Ointment over Lemonaid Lip Aid when I'm out of the house as it contains SPF15 to protect my lips from the sun and natural elements.  My lips stay well moisturised during the day whilst leaving my lips appear glossy but non-sticky. 


Lanolips are seriously worth its weight in gold! I enjoy the benefits of the ingredient lanolin and the fact that this balm is available for use in a variety of ways. When my lips are dry  requires natural exfoliation and healing I reach out for Lemonaid Lip Aid and when I'm on the go to work I use Lanolips Lip Ointment to keep my lips protected from the sun and looking glossed up in Rhubarb. 


Lanolips Lemonaid Lip Aid retails for A$15.95 (12.5 g) and Lanolips Lip Ointment retails for A$13.95 (12.5 g). Lanolips is available at David Jones and Myer department stores, Priceline, Terry White Chemists and selected pharmacies.
