What is the difference between lanolin liquid and lanolin balm?
The balm contains complete solid lanolin and a percentage of wool conditioning oils. That’s what makes it smooth and “spreadable”. The liquid lanolin has been centrifuged to have the solid wax particles removed from the lanolin. That’s why it is clear. Both are just fine for lanolizing. The solid can be scented, the liquid cannot. The liquid is more economical but over looooong term use, because it lacks the wax portion of the lanolin molecule, a user might find they need a traditional lanolizing treatment every once in a while. Most of the time, children grow out of the covers before anyone could possibly notice the difference. The bar soap and the liquid to lesser degree, contains solid lanolin so if you’re using that, you certainly wouldnt’ ever have a problem anyway.
