Traditional Apothecary Cream - Lanolin

Traditional Apothecary Cream - Lanolin

Handmade in New Zealand. Skin. Inspired by Nature.

Deeply Nourishing

A rich, deeply nourishing cream formulated to restore and protect even the driest, most demanding skin. Lanolin - nature's original skin conditioner - works in harmony with botanical oils to replenish moisture, soften rough texture, and shield skin from the elements.

• Natural Origins — made with lanolin, pure plant oils, botanical extracts, and natural essential oils
• Key Actives — moisture-locking lanolin, nourishing apricot kernel oil, and conditioning avocado oil
• Free From — no synthetic fragrances, artificial colours, or parabens

Lanolin has been used for centuries as one of nature's most effective skin conditioners. Structurally similar to the skin's own lipids, it forms a protective barrier that locks in moisture, softens rough and cracked skin, and helps shield against wind, cold, and everyday wear.

Apricot Kernel Oil is a lightweight, skin-loving oil rich in oleic and linoleic acids, and vitamins A, C, and E. It deeply moisturises, strengthens the skin barrier, soothes irritation, and provides antioxidant protection.

Avocado Oil is rich in essential fatty acids, plant sterols, and vital vitamins. This nutrient-dense botanical oil intensely moisturises rough textures and supports healing from within - naturally boosting collagen and reinforcing the skin's protective barrier without synthetic additives.

Key Benefits

• Time-Tested Hydration: Lanolin mimics your skin's natural moisture barrier.
• Softens Tough Skin: Deeply repairs dry skin — hands, cracked heels, and elbows.
• Outdoor Shield: Protects skin from harsh winds, cold, and everyday wear.

Suitable For

• Very dry, rough, or cracked skin
• Hands, heels, elbows, and body
• Outdoor workers, gardeners, and those exposed to the elements
• Anyone seeking a rich, protective daily moisturiser

How to Use

Apply a small amount to clean skin and massage gently until absorbed. Use morning and/or evening as your daily moisturiser. Particularly effective on hands, heels, elbows, and dry body areas. A little goes a long way.

Patch test first — particularly if you have a known wool or lanolin sensitivity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this cream suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. It is formulated with natural ingredients and is free from synthetic fragrances, artificial colours, and parabens. As with any new product, patch test first — particularly if you have a known wool or lanolin sensitivity.

Can I use this on my face?
This is a rich, deeply nourishing cream best suited to dry body areas such as hands, heels, and elbows. Those with very dry facial skin may enjoy it as an overnight treatment, though it is richer than a typical daily face cream.

Is this suitable for everyday use?
Absolutely. It's gentle enough for morning and evening use as your daily moisturiser, and particularly effective as a hand cream or overnight treatment for dry, rough skin.

Does this cream contain fragrance?
This cream contains naturally derived essential oils — sweet orange, frankincense, patchouli, rose geranium, and lavender — which give it a warm, botanical scent. It contains no synthetic fragrances or artificial perfumes.
