Description
Gentle everyday care for hardworking hands
Treat your hands to the rich, creamy lather of our Luxury Lanolin Hand Soap, made using the much-loved traditional Mitchell’s wool fat formulation.
Natural lanolin helps condition the skin and maintain its protective moisture barrier, making this soap particularly appreciated by customers who find ordinary soaps leave their hands feeling dry or tight.
The compact 75g bar is ideal beside the kitchen or bathroom sink, in a guest bathroom or as a thoughtful, affordable British-made gift.
The traditional Mitchell’s formulation continues
Mitchell’s was Romney Marsh Wools’ trusted chemist and the original creator of this traditional wool fat soap formulation.
When Mitchell’s ceased trading, we secured the formulation so that customers could continue enjoying the familiar soap they had used for many years. It is produced for Romney Marsh Wools by the same experienced British manufacturers, preserving its traditional formulation, delicate fragrance and distinctive creamy lather.
The packaging proudly carries the wording:
Made to a traditional Mitchell’s formulation by Romney Marsh Wools.
Why lanolin?
Lanolin is a naturally occurring wax found in sheep’s wool. It helps protect wool from the elements and is widely valued in skincare for its conditioning and moisture-retaining qualities.
Within this traditional soap, lanolin helps:
- Leave hands feeling soft and comfortable
- Maintain moisture within the skin
- Support the skin’s natural protective barrier
- Reduce the dry or tight feeling sometimes associated with soap
- Produce a rich and creamy lather
- Perfect for regular handwashing
- Despite its compact size, the concentrated 75g bar produces a generous lather and lasts well when allowed to dry between uses.
Customers repeatedly praise its gentle feel, delicate fragrance, creamy lather and longevity. Many tell us it has become the only hand soap they wish to use.

Is this made using the traditional Mitchell’s formulation?
Yes. Mitchell’s was Romney Marsh Wools’ trusted chemist and created the original formulation. Our 75g Lanolin Hand Soap continues to be made using that traditional formulation by the same experienced British manufacturers.
Is this the same formulation as the 150g Lanolin Bath Soap?
Yes. Both sizes use the traditional Mitchell’s formulation. The principal difference is the size and intended positioning: the compact 75g bar is ideal for regular handwashing, guest bathrooms and gifts, while the larger 150g bar offers greater longevity for bath and body use.
What is the difference between lanolin and wool fat?
They refer to the same naturally occurring wax obtained when shorn wool is washed. “Wool fat” is the traditional name used for this style of soap, while “lanolin” is the more familiar modern term.
Is the soap suitable for dry hands?
The lanolin-rich formulation is particularly popular with customers whose hands feel dry after using ordinary soap. It cleanses while helping the skin feel soft, smooth and comfortable.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Many customers with sensitive-feeling skin tell us they use and enjoy the soap. However, sensitivities differ, so check the ingredients and perform a small patch test before regular use if you have particularly reactive skin.
Can I use it every day?
Yes. The soap is suitable for frequent everyday handwashing.
Can it be used on the body?
Yes. Although the 75g bar is presented as a hand soap, it may also be used on the body. Customers wanting a larger bar for bathing may prefer our 150g Luxury Lanolin Bath Soap.
Does it contain fragrance?
Yes. It has a delicate traditional fragrance. Fragrance allergens declared within the ingredients include
Is it preservative free?
Yes. The traditional formulation is preservative free.
Is it tested on animals?
No. Our Luxury Lanolin Hand Soap is not tested on animals.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Yes. The outer packaging is recyclable. Please follow your local recycling guidance.
How can I make the soap last longer?
Allow the bar to dry fully between uses by placing it on a well-drained soap dish. Avoid leaving it sitting in water, as this will soften the soap and shorten its life.
