Lanolin comes from wool I don't think it would hurt vegetarians, I have seen vegetarians wearing woolly jumpers.

BTW that 250ml jar contains about the amount of lanolin obtained from the wool of about one merino sheep (as I understand it)

I know but many vegetarians don't use products gleaned from animals, the way many are kept puts us off. Personally I like bamboo or hemp products rather than wool. I knit with acrylic yarns.

Or, if you want to pay the same for less; lanolin cream, again as cheap as.

We have recently returned from Australia after an eight week visit.
I didn't take my usual body lotion and bought a large tub of Johnsons Sorbolene. It's the best body lotion that I have ever used. I have tried to source it here but with no luck.

Re: Hand Creams .....

The one that I bought was more a lotion than a cream. It was a huge bottle and cost €5. I certainly won't be paying that price, Patsy. I would rather shrivel up

Re: Hand Creams .....

Anyone tried Moroccan Argan Oil. I find it is very good for hands (in fact everywhere) and it has no perfume. You can buy it as a cream and it's not greasy. I got a big tub of it from Poundland for £1.00. It is similar in texture to aqueous cream (which is also good) but I find the argan cream better and it suits my skin. At £1.00 you can afford to put it on all over your body.
