Our Lanolin range was the first of our 3 unique product ranges to be created. We had a dream, to create quality skin care products in Australia by Australians that were of superior quality yet extremely affordable. From the moment our lanolin range was launched in January 1994, consisting of only 4 unique products, we knew we had created something special. We did not have a lot of customers at first, but the ones that did take a chance with Jean Charles Lanolin skin crème, kept reordering larger quantities more frequently. We worked closely with our few customers and one distributor and handled each and every customer query with honesty and care. Thanks to our dedication, our small lanolin range grew into an extraordinary business.
