I used to farm sheep. After eating lamb stew in the winter, I never needed to apply chapstick to my lips.

Might also be from handling lanolin laden wool?

I make a great skin cream using coconut oil and lanolin.

Raw gease / lanolin from sheep’s wool burns and stings like a #@%#^$&^! It’s like waxy lemon juice to any cuts on my hands.
