Lanolin is wool-fat from sheep.
Desenex contains no lanolin, nix, nada. Another baby-bottom cream
made in Germany "Penaten" does contain lanolin and that's what I've
been using on underwater metal parts. Not only do I not have any
barnacles (I sail in fresh water only) but our equivalent bottom
growth, Zebra-Mussels, stay clear of my shaft, prop, rudder-hinges
etc. The few Zebra-Mussels harvested in my immediate neighbourhood,
however, have a bit of a mutton taste. <grin>
