Sheep produce a type of oil on their skin. That covers their fur and it is called lanolin. It makes the skin and fur water proof. Many people who use natural wool to make sweaters at home do not remove this as it keeps them dry.

Is lipstick made with sheep wool?
NO I personally think it is! Because we were playing a game and that question came up and the answer was that it is made with sheep wool! Yes, Natural Sheep's Wool has a lanolin grease that comes off of it when the wool is scoured and cleaned at the correct temperatures. This grease accounts for 50% of the weight before scouring. The grease is sold to the cosmetics industry and that includes lipstick as a natural base for these products. www.blackmountaininsulationusa.com
