What is the sticky wax obtained from sheep?

This is lanolin. It is similar to the oils human skin produces. The animals are not harmed to collect the lanolin. They are given a haircut, then the wool is boiled. Lanolin is has natural anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties, is strong, helps heal, and hydrate, keep moisture in the skin as a cream or lotion, or keep moisture away from the skin when used in clothing. Quite a superior natural product.
