101 Ointment Multi-Balm Reviews

I often resort to papaw ointment for all my skin concerns (i.e. dry lips, mosquito bite, scar treatment, burns, etc.) however this product has changed my mind. The biggest comparison between the two products is the scent and the texture. There is no scent associated with the Lanolips 101 Ointment which is fantastic. The product is made of 100% Ultra Pure Grade lanolin and a little bit goes a lonnnnng way.

Now, let's talk about the texture. Do you know that feeling when it's too warm and you pull out your papaw ointment and it's literally like smothering oil on your lips? And you've put too much on so now it's all runny and you've got the taste of papaw ointment in your mouth? Well, that isn't a concern with Lanolips. It was ridiculously hot this past week, and no matter the temperature, the product remained a steady, somewhat sticky consistency. No oily, runny, yucky tasting lipbalm over here!

I always used to think that Lanolips was purely a lipbalm, but boy was I wrong. I had eczema pop up recently due to the hot weather and there were scattered scabs all over my legs. I used this to ease some of the itchiness and was surprised that I could go a full night without waking up scratching. I'm not saying it solves eczema (I had to get a prescription because mine was so bad) but it does soothe any dry or itchiness associated with skin. I'm completely sold with this product and will continue to use it after I've finished this tube.

Well, well, well. What an amazing surprise this was.
I picked this up as I'd seen it around for a few years, but never been able to justify the price of a product I had never tried. I bought this when I had a $5 off voucher from Priceline, and I'm so happy I got this!
It is so useful, and my lips have never felt better. I'm a lip balm junkie, because my lips never stay hydrated for long and are ALWAYS peeling and gross. So I usually find myself applying lip balm every few hours. Not with this little baby. Once, that's it!
My lips dry out when I brush my teeth, so one application in the morning before I zip out the door and I am set. No need to reapply, my lips feel great. No dryness, no longer peeling at the seams, and comfort! I also apply after brushing my teeth at night, so I guess technically two applications a day, but my gosh overnight my lips just drink it all in. I wake up with beautiful lips.
I have also used this on a scar as it was healing and it goes a long way.
Going back to other balms after this just does not compare. You realise just how useless every other balm is! My ultra hydrating Burt's Bees just slides off my lips, even my Carmex paw paw balm doesn't seem to do anything anymore. I have read a little bit that products containing petroleum jelly (a by product of crude oil) does more harm than good, particularly over time. So it's no wonder my lips feel completely different using pure Lanolin. Even paw paw ointments like Lucas' are not pure paw paw and are mostly petroleum jelly!
This is absolutely my HG and I look forward to finding more uses for it. Thank you for bringing my lips back to life!

I purchased this because I’ve had issues with the Strawberry one (the fragrance affected the condition of my lips) & I was curious to see how this fared, plus I’ve been searching for a more natural alternative to Carmex (a long time staple of mine).

This little beauty is described as a multi-purpose balm & can certainly be used that way, but for me I’m using it purely as a lip balm at present. The consistency of it is thick and it does solidify in the tube when the weather is cold, so sometimes I struggle to squeeze it out of the tube. Ingredients wise it only contains lanolin & lanolin oil so unless you have issues with either of those, it’s perfectly safe to use on sensitive skin (which I have and I haven't had any issues yet).

I have found it generally lasts a fair amount of time (maybe an hour or so?) before I have to re-apply, but my lips suck up moisture like there’s no tomorrow & I only use a small amount at a time. If I compare it with Carmex, then this is definitely longer lasting & feels more moisturising on my lips. I have noticed that using this in combination with my HG product (Bite Beauty’s Agave Lip Mask) has made my lips feel softer, although I still have to exfoliate them once a week to clear the dead skin cells.

The only negative is the price. $17.95 is too expensive for just a lip balm IMO, but you don’t need to use too much of this to gain the benefits. If you can make it work for you in other ways, then you’ll probably get more bang for your buck. I’ve already bought another tube for my handbag once my Carmex pot runs out & will purchase another one of these as a back-up soon. For me, it's time to say "goodbye Carmex, hello Lanolips!".

I have the entire lanolips lip range, and this is their plain offering, without any flavours, colours or other oils etc. This one is a relatively thin lanolin, presumably because it contains lanolin oil as well as lanolin, and while it goes on smoothly and feels great on, I don't find it lasts as long as my favourite lanolin product, Lansinoh.

Love love love this lip balm!! It is tinted so gives your lips some colour and is nice and thick so lasts for ages. So moisturising my lips feel so much smoother since using this daily. Highly recommend

Its good for just about anything.
i carry one around everywhere and properly own 10+ of these
it doesn't have an offensive smell
because it only liquifies in high temperatures, it doesn't make a mess when applying it
very nourishing
doesn't sit on top of the lips, so lips are hydrated

This is truly a multi-tasker for all skin care ailments - it's great for treating chapped and dry lips, soothing ragged cuticles and treating flaky skin around my nose when I have hay fever/colds! I love that you only need to use very sparingly and it doesn't leave a greasy film. Perfect as a base for matte lipsticks too. A tube lasts ages!

This is a great lip balm (although I believe it has many other uses too). It feels lovely when first applied, and it lasts really well, so although it is more expensive than some other lip balms, the larger-than-average tube ends up being quite economical. For those who don't like flavoured lip products, this has no taste whatsoever - another plus!

I love this product! It keeps my lips super protected and never ever dry. I keep one in my bag and use it for everything. A great product. The only downfall is the price for the size, it is quiet expensive, but it is a great product. I use it on dry spots and on the kids too.
