How It Works
The wool's natural oil called Lanolin
penetrates the epidermis and builds a
barrier that soothes the skin. Meanwhile,
the kinked, curly wool fibers create a
breathable environment to boost the
healing process, something that diaper
rash creams can't offer.

SHORT ANSWER: BECAUSE IT'S BREATHABLE.

in creams. A humid environment can even cause rashes to occur, so creams have to be
very powerful in order to relieve skin irritations. So creams are frequently laden with
chemicals and those that aren't are more likely to be limited in their ability to
eliminate rashes.

A Product Dating Back to Antiquity
Lanolin-rich wool has been used for its
remarkable properties from Antiquity and
has been mentioned first in Greek
physician Dioscorides’s works. As it usually
happens, as centuries passed, people
forgot about the magical properties of
nature – until Oskar Liebreich, a German
pharmacologist, brought Lanolin back to
centre stage in the 19th century. Thanks to
Liebreich, the wool remained popular in
his country. What they call "heilwolle,"
which means "healing wool" in German, is
readily available in pharmacies and
frequently prescribed by midwives in
Germany, Austria and the Netherlands.
