Skin barrier repair

The skin is the body’s primary defense mechanism against outside agents, and its integrity is of primary importance to ensure skin moisturisation, protection, and delivery. Lanolin is a natural and safe emollient used for skin barrier repair, and is able to augment the functions of the human skin lipids. By replenishing the essential lipids of the skin, lanolin accelerates the repair of the skin’s natural barrier function.

Lanolin effects on lips

Over a two-week period our subject used our Medilan pharmaceutical lanolin to treat dry cracked lips. Below you can see the progression. Lanolin delivers a complex combination of lipids to the skin that imitate and augment many of the functions of the lipids found within it. As such, lanolin can be used to supplement the lipid bilayers and naturally reinforce the skin barrier function.
