What is Lanolin Anhydrous?
Lanolin Anhydrous is a purified, refined, and water-free (anhydrous) form of lanolin – a waxy substance naturally extracted from sheep wool. It is widely used in cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and personal care products due to its superior emollient, moisturizing, and protective properties.
Lanolin closely resembles human skin lipids, allowing it to deeply penetrate the skin and form a barrier that locks in moisture. It’s ideal for use in ointments, balms, creams, lotions, lip care products, hair conditioners, and baby products.
This versatile, semi-solid yellowish material is rich in esters, fatty acids, and alcohols, and is known for its compatibility with various ingredients in skincare and topical pharmaceuticals.
