Dry lips be gone! In partnership with our friends at Lano, we’re sitting down with Kirsten Carriol, founder of Lano, the Australian skincare brand known for its beauty editor darling “Lanolips” and what could very well be “The Best Lip Balm On Earth.” A glistening byproduct of sheep-shearing, lanolin has been favoured by the ancient Egyptians, celebrities like Margot Robbie, and us.
Tune in to hear about:
- What Lano’s founder learned about lanolin’s skin compatibility while growing up on her grandparents' sheep farm in South Australia – supported by molecular studies learned from Kirsten’s father, a DNA scientist
- Which skin types can benefit from lanolin most, and who should avoid
- Is lanolin an allergen? The case for not throwing out the proverbial baby with the bathwater
- How Kirsten managed to marry lanolin with SPF for the juicy new Sun Balm SPF 30 Tropical Lip Balm launched this summer – 16 years in the making
- Stay tuned to the end to hear about more best beauty imports that Kirsten recommends from the land down under

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars?
