Word origin

The term 'lanoline' is derived from the Latin word 'lana' meaning 'wool' and the suffix '-ine' which is often used in chemistry to denote substances. It was first used in the mid-19th century, as chemists began isolating and identifying various components found in animal fats, particularly lanolin from sheep's wool. The extraction of lanolin involves a careful process where wool is washed and the oily substance is separated, allowing it to be used in various applications, especially in cosmetics. Over time, its popularity surged due to its effective moisturizing properties and its ability to replicate the natural oils found in human skin, making it a staple ingredient in many skincare products.
