This face and body balm is rated 100/100 on Yuka and will stay with you all winter long

Love it or hate it, the app Yuka It has been talked about regularly since its launch in 2015. Designed to guide consumers in their purchases of food and hygiene and beauty products, it offers the possibility to decipher labels and analyze the impact of recipes and formulas on health.

Criticized for its lack of scientific rigor by many food and cosmetic professionals, this app is nonetheless used daily by several million people who rely on the goodwill of its algorithm to make their choice, in shops and on the Internet.

Once scanned, each product receives a score out of 100 and a color code. And luckily for Yuka fans, the app doesn’t just give out negative points, and many products manage to get good ratings, especially in the cosmetics field. This is the case with this skin repair balm that contains only one ingredient.

Lanolips 101 multipurpose balm, an SOS product for sensitized skin

The Australian brand Lanolips specializes in the production of skin care products based on lanolin, a 100% natural wax found in sheep’s wool that the company collects from Australian producers and which is guaranteed cruelty-free (Editor’s note, which does not make it a vegan product, because it remains of sheep origin).

Why lanolin? Because this fat contains many lipids similar to those of the human epidermis, which allows it to act as a natural dressing to hydrate the skin, limit transepidermal water loss and repair the skin barrier. Its harmlessness is such that it is used in maternity hospitals to relieve cracks in nursing mothers, as well as in hospitals to treat burns.

The multipurpose conditioner 101 Lanolips ointment it is made from 100% ultra-purified lanolin and is fragrance-free. A product that could prove useful this winter, to repair chapped lips, soften cracked cuticles and soothe areas of irritation and dryness on the face and body.
