| What is the most important thing for clean skin? | Moisturizer |
| What are the benefits of using a moisturizer? | Moist skin prevents cracking and provides armor-like protection for the body against germs and bacteria. Keeping this largest organ of the body hydrated enhances elasticity and contributes to younger-looking skin. |
| What is one of the most waterproofing and moisturizing barriers in nature? | Lanolin. This secretion from the sebaceous glands of sheep is a fantastic deep-penetrating emollient moisturizer for skin, nails and hair. It prevents water loss and acts like a lubricant, both retaining natural moisture and sealing it in through a moisture barrier. |
| Is there any harm to sheep to harvest the lanolin? | No. Lanolin is extracted from sheep’s wool after it is sheared.
Sheeperfect® does not test on animals. |
| Why are emollients beneficial? | Emollients moisturize skin directly, softening and sealing in moisture. They create an occlusive, protective surface barrier. |
| What are some natural emollients? | Shea butter ▪ Cocoa butter ▪ Lanolin ▪ Beeswax ▪ Coconut, almond, and other plant oils ▪ Olive oil |
| What is the difference between emollients and humectants? | Humectants draw water to the skin from the air and external environment. Emollients work with the skin, lubricating and absorbing into the skin, sealing in moisture. |
