Lanolin is also called wool wax or wool grease. The wax is secreted by the sebaceous glands of wool-bearing animals. A major amount of lanolin is produced from sheep-breed farming, which is specifically raised for the extraction of wool. Wool grease, also called crude lanolin, is extracted from sheep wool. The obtained wool grease, upon washing and continuous centrifugation, is converted to a wax-like substance called lanolin.
