The purification of crude lanolin into lanolin wax and the processing of this wax into various derivatives began in 1882 and continue to this day with newer highly purified anhydrous lanolins. Controversy as to lanolin's allergenicity began in the 1920s and remains an issue. The most appropriate patch test preparation(s) for detecting allergy remain disputed. Detection of lanolin-induced contact dermatitis in diseased skin by patch testing on normal skin may lead to false negative results. Patients with a positive patch test to lanolin may tolerate use of lanolin on normal skin. Although lanolin is a weak sensitizer and the frequency of contact allergy to it in the European population reportedly is 0.4%, there are high-risk concomitant conditions: stasis dermatitis, leg ulcers, perianal\/genital dermatitis, and atopic dermatitis (AD). Children and the elderly are also at greater risk of developing contact allergy to lanolin, partly because of comorbidities (AD and stasis dermatitis\/leg ulcers, respectively). Finally, in the United States, non-Hispanic white patients are more likely than their non-Hispanic black counterparts to be lanolin allergic.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1089\/derm.2022.0002","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,27]],"date-time":"2023-01-27T10:45:14Z","timestamp":1674816314000},"page":"4-12","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Lanolin"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"Blair A.","family":"Jenkins","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Dermatology, Columbia University Irving Medical Center, New York, New York, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1229-6673","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Donald V.","family":"Belsito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Dermatology, Columbia University Irving Medical Center, New York, New York, USA."},{"name":"D.V.B. is a member of the expert panel for cosmetic ingredient safety, Washington, DC, and the expert panel for fragrance safety, Woodcliff Lake, NJ."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,11]]},"reference":[{"issue":"5","key":"e_1_3_1_2_2","first-page":"243","article-title":"[Analysis of ointments, oils and waxes.
