About Prolan

What is lanolin, where does it come from?

Lanolin is a natural grease/wax from sheep's wool, specifically the oil glands. It has been used for centuries in various forms for its protective and emollient properties. Lanolin’s unique molecular structure allows it to act as an excellent moisturizer and barrier on the skin and materials, which is why it's a superb ingredient in corrosion inhibitors and lubricants like Prolan.

Safe, sustainable, and naturally occurring, lanolin is biodegradable and environmentally friendly, making it the ideal base for our diverse range of products that protect against the harshest elements nature can offer. By choosing Prolan, you embrace a legacy of natural efficacy to provide the best care for your equipment.

We source our lanolin from New Zealand sheep and once shorn, we use a specialized process to convert raw wool grease into a range of non-toxic environmentally friendly lubricants that are safe and easy to apply.
