I'm thinking your recipe, with lanolin added, would be somewhere to start? Let me consult with another geek, one moment while I retrieve him!
ahh... are you planning on making a stick or something similar to like a chap stick in consistency?

If you go the lanolin route you may need to cut back on the olive oil or add more lanolin than you originally anticipate. This mostly stem from my concerns of the waxy/greasy/fatty properties of lanolin to be able to hold a liquid oil in it's pours.

However this may not even be an issue with the lecithin. Play with the amounts and let me know what you come up with. I've never used lanolin in any of my topicals.

Also let me know what our fellow geek in arms has to say. I'm curious what someone elses thoughts are on this as well.
