Lanolin
Lanolin (from Latin lāna, ‘wool’, and oleum, ‘oil’), also called wool wax or wool grease, is a wax secreted by the sebaceous glands of wool-bearing animals. Lanolin used by humans comes from domestic sheep breeds that are raised specifically for their wool. Historically, many pharmacopoeias have referred to lanolin as wool fat (adeps lanae); however, as lanolin lacks glycerides (glycerol esters), it is not a true fat. Lanolin primarily consists of sterol esters instead. Lanolin's waterproofing property aids sheep in shedding water from their coats. Certain breeds of sheep produce large amounts of lanolin. There is an inverse correlation between fiber diameter and wool wax content.
Lanolin’s role in nature is to protect wool and skin against the ravages of climate and the environment; it also seems to play a role in skin (integumental) hygiene. Lanolin and its many derivatives are used extensively in products designed for the protection, treatment and beautification of human skin.

If You Want Some
by: Joel CrouseYou gotta get off the clock, get on the phone
And tell everyone you know
To get on over to my house,
And leave their worries there by the door
It's probably gonna get a little crazy
Your memory's gonna be a little hazy
Pray you don't forget it, that's right, I said it
It's gonna be epic
If you want some, come and get some

Everybody is a-throwing down
We're living it up, living it up
