Every 30 seconds, someone buys a Lanolips 101 Ointment - here's how a sheep farm memory became a global beauty empire. This week on The Formula, founder Kirsten Carriol breaks down what it takes to build a brand that lasts in the age of viral trends.

We're exploring how Kirsten's childhood memory of lanolin from her grandparents' sheep farm became the ultimate solution for chronically cracked lips - a problem the massive beauty industry kept getting wrong. She reveals why viral balms are often 'duds,' the crucial distinction between creating a product for Instagram "aesthetic" versus one that actually works, and how a long-haul flight moment led her to launch a brand that counts Lindsay Lohan and Gigi Hadid among its fans.

If you've ever been frustrated by lip balms that promise the world but deliver absolutely nothing, this episode is for you!
