Description
Traditional lanolin care for soft, comfortable skin
Discover the rich, creamy lather of our Luxury Lanolin Wool Fat Bath Soap, made using the much-loved traditional Mitchell’s formulation.
Lanolin is a naturally occurring wax found in sheep’s wool. Renowned for its skin-conditioning qualities, it helps maintain moisture and supports the skin’s natural protective barrier.
Our generous 150g soap bar gently cleanses while leaving skin feeling soft, smooth and comfortable rather than dry or tight. Its delicate, traditional fragrance and luxurious lather make it a pleasure to use every day.
The traditional Mitchell’s formulation continues
Mitchell’s was our trusted chemist and the original creator of this traditional wool fat soap formulation. When Mitchell’s ceased trading, Romney Marsh Wools secured the formulation so that customers could continue enjoying the soap they had used and loved for many years.
It is now made for Romney Marsh Wools by the same experienced British manufacturers, preserving the familiar formulation, fragrance, lather and generous 150g bar.
For customers searching for the original style of Mitchell’s Wool Fat Soap, this is the traditional formulation continued under the Romney Marsh Wools name.
Why lanolin?
Lanolin is obtained from wool after sheep have been shorn. It is valued in skincare because it helps:
- Maintain moisture within the skin
- Support the skin’s natural protective barrier
- Leave dry skin feeling softer and more comfortable
- Condition the skin while cleansing
- Produce a rich and creamy lather
- This makes our wool fat soap a particularly popular choice among customers who find ordinary soap can leave their skin feeling dry or tight.
A large, long-lasting soap bar
At 150g, this is a generously sized bath and body soap designed to provide excellent value and lasting everyday use.
Customers regularly praise its creamy lather, delicate fragrance, non-drying feel and longevity. Many have returned to it after using traditional wool fat soap for years.
