Everyday uses for Lanolab Multi-Use Balm

Everyday need	How the balm may be used
Dry or chapped lips	Use daily or as an overnight mask before bed to deeply hydrate lips and help reduce moisture loss.
Dry hands and cuticles	Apply to dry hands and rough cuticles to help soften dry skin and prevent it from feeling rough.
Razor nicks and cuts	Apply to minor nicks and cuts from shaving to form a protective, breathable barrier that helps keep the area moisturised while the skin heals.
Dry heels, elbows and knees	Apply to dry, rough heels, elbows and knees to help soften the skin and deeply hydrate.
Dry lips or skin as a result of Accutane, other acne treatments or general medication	Deeply hydrate dry lips and skin as a result of medication.
Flyaway hairs	Apply a small amount to tame flyaway hairs for a sleek look.
Chafing and areas exposed to everyday friction	Apply to areas prone to rubbing, such as the thighs, sports bra line or areas where clothing and footwear cause friction, to help reduce friction and keep skin comfortable. Use post-chafe to form a breathable barrier that deeply nourishes and asists to soothe.
Nappy-area care	Helps soothe irritation and calm redness around the nappy area caused by moisture, friction and prolonged contact with a wet or soiled nappy, while forming a protective barrier to help keep the skin moisturised.
Brow grooming	For light grooming if the product directions permit
Eyelashes	Apply a small amount to a spoolie or rub in-between fingers before applying to eyelashes. A thin layer creates a glossy, wet look similar to clear mascara while simultaneously coating the lashes with an occlusive barrier.
Insect bites	Apply to bites to help relieve itching and dryness.
Cracked or sore nipples	Apply a thin layer to help soothe and moisturise dry, cracked or sore nipples, forming a protective barrier that helps soothe while it recovers.
Other	Apply to areas that need extra moisture and soothing, helping relieve feelings of dryness and discomfort while keeping skin soft and moisturised.

For uses involving medication-related dryness, babies, breastfeeding, or specific skin concerns, we recommend checking with your healthcare professional or paediatrician to confirm that Lanolab Multi-Use Balm is appropriate for your individual needs.

1. Dry lips and areas of dry skin

Dry lips are one of the most familiar reasons to reach for a balm. Changes in weather, wind and dry air can leave lips feeling uncomfortable, while frequent handwashing, everyday exposure and friction can leave other areas of skin feeling dry and rough.

Lanolab Multi-Use Balm is formulated for both the skin and lips, making it a practical option for deeply moisturising these areas without needing a different product for every concern. Apply throughout the day as needed, or use a layer on your lips overnight as part of your evening routine.

From dry hands and cuticles to rough elbows, knees and heels, the balm can be used wherever skin needs a little extra moisture and care.

2. Dryness associated with skincare treatments and medication

Certain skincare treatments, including acne treatments such as isotretinoin (Roaccutane), can leave the lips and skin feeling exceptionally dry, tight or flaky. Other medications can also contribute to dryness.

We’ve received wonderful feedback from customers who use Lanolab Multi-Use Balm to help manage dry lips and skin while using acne medication. Its rich, balm-like texture creates an occlusive layer that helps reduce moisture loss, leaving dry areas feeling softer and more comfortable.

If you’re using prescription acne treatments or other medication, it’s worth checking with your healthcare professional or pharmacist that the balm is suitable for your particular treatment and skin condition, especially if your skin is very irritated.

3. Cuticles, heels and other rough patches

The skin around your nails, on your heels and around your elbows can become rough and dry through everyday wear and tear. These are all areas where a little extra moisture can make a difference to how your skin feels.

Apply Lanolab Multi-Use Balm to dry cuticles, rough heels, elbows and knees to help soften the skin and reduce the feeling of dryness. It’s particularly useful for smaller areas that need more targeted care.

For larger areas of dry skin, our Hydrating Body Cream is easier to spread and was specifically formulated for use across the body. The balm and body cream can work alongside one another, depending on the area you’re looking after.

4. Chafing and active lifestyles

Whether you’re walking, running, exercising or spending a long day in clothing that rubs against your skin, friction can leave certain areas feeling uncomfortable. Common areas include the inner thighs, sports bra line and areas where footwear or clothing repeatedly rubs.

Applying Lanolab Multi-Use Balm to areas prone to friction helps reduce rubbing while forming a protective, breathable barrier. If chafing has already occurred, the balm can help moisturise the affected area and soothe the feeling of discomfort while the skin recovers.

Its compact 25 g size makes it easy to keep in your handbag, gym bag or travel bag, ready for everyday skincare needs wherever you are.

5. Mother and baby care

A multi-use balm can be a practical addition to a nappy bag, particularly when caring for dry skin and the everyday skincare needs of little ones.

Lanolab Multi-Use Balm can be used for nappy-area care where appropriate, helping soothe redness and irritation associated with moisture and friction while forming a protective barrier over the skin.

As with any product used on babies, we recommend checking with your paediatrician or healthcare professional that the balm is appropriate for your baby’s age and intended use. Persistent redness, broken skin or signs of infection should be assessed by a healthcare professional.

6. Minor nicks, cuts and everyday skin discomfort

Small nicks from shaving, dry patches and other everyday skin concerns can leave you reaching for different products for different purposes. A versatile balm can simplify that routine.

Lanolab Multi-Use Balm can be applied to minor shaving nicks and cuts to form a protective, breathable barrier that helps keep the area moisturised while the skin heals. It can also be used on skin affected by everyday friction and dryness, helping keep it soft and comfortable.

For insect bites and itchy areas, the balm can provide moisturising care to skin that feels dry or uncomfortable. For burns or more significant skin injuries, appropriate first aid and medical advice should take priority.

7. Brows, lashes and flyaway hairs

Multi-use skincare doesn’t have to stop at your skin. A small amount of balm can also be useful for everyday grooming.

Flyaway hairs: Smooth a tiny amount over unruly strands to help tame flyaways and leave hair looking sleek.

Brows: Apply a small amount to help smooth and shape brow hairs for a neat, groomed finish.

Lashes: A small amount can give lashes a glossy, wet look similar to clear mascara.

Use sparingly for these cosmetic applications, as the balm has a rich texture. For use around the eyes, take care to avoid direct contact with the eyes and ensure the product is suitable for the intended application.

Why lanolin is an important ingredient in Lanolab Multi-Use Balm

Lanolin is widely used in skincare for its emollient and occlusive properties. It helps soften the skin and forms a layer that reduces moisture loss, making it a useful ingredient in products designed for dry lips and skin.

At Lanolab, we use pharmaceutical-grade lanolin in our Multi-Use Balm, combining it with papaya extract in a 100% natural formulation. Together, these ingredients form part of a balm designed for versatile, everyday skincare.

We believe in making skincare simpler by creating products with practical uses, rather than adding unnecessary complexity to your routine. Our Multi-Use Balm reflects that philosophy: one compact product for dry lips, rough patches, cuticles and many other everyday applications.

As with any skincare product, individual reactions are possible. If you have a known lanolin allergy, check the ingredients carefully before use.

Simple care, with more ways to use it

We created Lanolab Multi-Use Balm around a straightforward idea: everyday skincare doesn’t need to be complicated. A single product can serve multiple purposes, from keeping lips soft to caring for dry skin and helping protect areas exposed to friction.

Whether you keep yours beside your bed, in your handbag, at your desk or in your gym bag, it’s a practical product to have on hand for the many little moments when skin needs some extra care.
