Merino Skin Care products have been sold in the USA for over 15 years. They are made in New Zealand using the lanolin that naturally occurs in sheep’s wool. Lanolin is naturally non-allergenic in most people. I have personally used the skin crème for about 10 years and love it! These products moisturize, protect and help to repair your dried, damaged skin. They are effective in so many categories...dry skin, cracked heels, split fingertips, skin conditions often associated with Eczema, Psoriasis, Dermatitis...Diabetics find that regular use of this product line resolves cracking and peeling problems, even the most serious types
