Look and listen to your skin

Stress at work, little sleep and weather conditions such as cold, inclement weather, but also mild sunburn are all factors that influence our skin. This can cause you to suffer from dry or spotty skin, or chapped spots. The skin is our largest organ and that is why it is extra important that we take good care of it. Lanolin can help with this thanks to its unique properties. But what exactly is lanolin? And in which products is it processed? In this blog we will tell you all about it.

What is lanolin?

Lanolin is also called wool fat, because it is in the wool of the sheep. This wool grease protects the sheep's coat against all weather influences. This prevents rain, cold and wind from penetrating the skin. It keeps the sheep's skin supple and has a dirt and water-repellent effect. The lanolin is extracted by washing wool. When the water evaporates, the wool fat remains. It is then cleaned and used in, among other things, care products.



Why is lanolin good for my skin?

Lanolin has the same structure as our own sebum. Sebum has a protective effect and prevents dehydration of the skin and hair. Sebum prevents infections caused by bacteria and fungi. Lanolin is beneficial for cracked and dry skin, nourishes the skin intensively and supports natural skin recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions about Washing Wool Clothes

Can a wool sweater be machine washed?

Yes, many wool sweaters can be machine washed. Always check the care label first. If it indicates that machine washing is allowed, select a wool or delicate cycle at a maximum of 30°C and use a special wool detergent.

How often should you wash a wool sweater?

That depends on how often you wear the sweater. In many cases, washing is only necessary after wearing it 5 to 10 times. Often, airing it out overnight is enough to make a wool sweater feel wonderfully fresh again.

At what temperature did you wash your wool?

For most wool clothing, a maximum washing temperature of 30°C applies. Higher temperatures increase the risk of shrinking and felting. Therefore, always follow the washing instructions on the garment's label.

What laundry detergent do you use for wool?

Always use a special wool detergent. Regular detergents often contain enzymes that can damage the natural protein structure of wool. A wool detergent gently cleans the fibers and helps preserve the natural properties of wool. Preferably choose a wool detergent with lanolin.

Do you need fabric softener?

No.
Wool is naturally soft and supple. Fabric softener therefore adds little and can actually leave a layer on the fibers. This can reduce the breathable and moisture-regulating properties of wool.

Why does wool stay fresh for so long?

This is due to the unique properties of the wool fiber. Wool absorbs moisture without feeling wet and then gradually releases it. This reduces the chance for odor-causing bacteria to develop. In addition, the natural structure of the wool fiber means that dirt adheres less easily.

Can merino wool be machine washed?

Yes, most merino wool clothing can be machine washed. Always use a wool program, a maximum temperature of 30°C, and a special wool detergent. Always check the care label to be sure.

Can a shrunken wool sweater be made bigger again?

Sometimes.
If a sweater has slightly shrunk but is not yet felted, you can try to gently restore the fibers with lukewarm water and a little wool detergent or wool conditioner. Once the sweater is felted, full recovery is usually no longer possible.
