The origins of Merino skincare date back to 1980, when pharmacist Chris Martin, who ran a family pharmacy in Whangamata, North Island, New Zealand, was prescribed the first Merino cream.
The lanolin used in Merino skin care comes from Merino sheep living on New Zealand's South Island, who produce Merino wool, the world's most popular natural fibre, and lanolin, nature's finest skin care ingredient.
