Lanolin Alcohol is an amber solid with a waxy consistency and faint odor. It is used as an emulsifier, stabilizer, thickener, moisturizer, and conditioning agent in personal care applications.

Thanks to its natural emulsifying properties, Lanolin Alcohol is a perfect ingredient for creams, moisturizers, and other skin and body care products. It is a common ingredient in baby, lip, and nipple care applications due to its excellent affinity to skin and mucous membranes, gentle action, and silky skin fill.

Lanolin Alcohol is a natural antimicrobial agent that protects the skin from harmful bacteria and derma infections. Its protective and barrier-enhancing effects make it an ideal ingredient for anti-acne, anti-aging, and daily care products.

In addition, Lanolin Alcohol is used in soaps, lipsticks, and high-end decorative cosmetics. Depending on the product type, its concentration can vary from 0.5% to 5.0%
