Road Test

Lanolin is one of those age-old beauty ingredients which many people have heard of, but they are not always sure what it does. It’s a natural substance found in sheep's wool, used topically to prevent and combat dry skin, and sooth itching and other skin irritation. G&M Cosmetics is behind the Native Australian Skincare range, formulating products which air gentle, organic and suitable for both adults and children, with a focus on using unique aboriginal ingredients and effective oils such as emu and macadamia oil. The range also enhances the healing powers of lanolin, especially so with this standalone product, Lanolin Skin Shield Lotion. This cream is designed to protect the skin from environmental elements. It is formulated with Australian quandong fruit extract, which creates a barrier on the skin, while also being enriched with vitamin B3, rice bran oil, and tomato fruit extract, which can absorb UV-light and protect against sun radiation. To road test, I used the lotion every morning for four days over a long weekend when my skin faced a lot of sun exposure due to long beach walks. I applied the lotion before sunscreen, and found it not only melted into the skin quickly, but also left it feeling soft and smooth. At night, my skin felt great, with no hint of dryness or dehydration, and no sun damage to speak of. If you are planning a holiday in the sun, this lovely lotion is a great skin-allrounder to pack into your cosmetic case.
