Meg do you have the reference for this? How did you find out? When was the
study done that showed that PurLan has this in it?   What is BHT?  What does
it stand for?

And yes, I'd like to know if other lanolin products have been found to
contain "significant amounts of BHT" as well -- Lansinoh comes to mind, as
those two products -- PurLan & Lansinoh are the two that are most commonly
used in the U.S.
