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

Wool is made by shearing fleece from sheep, typically once a year. The raw wool is then cleaned and scoured to remove dirt and grease. After cleaning, the wool is carded to separate and align the fibers, followed by spinning it into yarn. Finally, the yarn can be dyed and woven or knitted into various woolen products.
