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

The grease in sheep's wool is called lanolin. It is a natural wax produced by sheep to protect their wool and skin from the elements. Lanolin is commonly used in cosmetics and skincare products for its moisturizing properties.
