Cavaet: I am not familiar with lanolin's chemical properties but I am familiar with other anhydrous compounds. The anhydrous compounds I am familiar with are only maintained that way by storage. Once exposed to the atmosphere they quickly bond with water molecules and become hydrous. Ammonia is a good example. It is actually applied as a fertiliser as a gas-it bonds so quickly with water molecules that virtually none is lost to the atmosphere.
