This is the story of a unique coming together of a molecular scientist, a farmer and a PR and marketing executive in the beauty industry (all within one family).

Annoyingly; the latter, the marketing and PR exec had experienced dry, cracked lips for the better part of 10 years. 

Fed up; and driven by memories of childhood holidays spent in the family shearing shed, turned to the most natural, (and foolproof product she could think of; Lanolin.

Kirsten Carriol is the founder, creator and CEO of Lanolips Australia a global company that's been running for 15 years now and has a product that's been voted the World's Best Lip Balm.

Kirsten is a city girl at heart, but this story I think shows the importance of gifting on-farm experiences to young minds - who can go on to do anything with their lives and you never know what brilliance, they might create from that.
