Lanolin Wax is a lanolin derivative (a more dense and solid fraction of lanolin). It is a yellow-to-tan waxy solid with a mild, pleasant odor. Its melting range is close to body temperature, 41-51°C, so it can be used as a natural moisturizing emollient in body lotions.
Like lanolin, Lanolin Wax is a potent emulsifier with HLB value of 10. It is also used in skin, lip, and hair care applications and decorative cosmetics as a thickener, binder, moisturizer, and stabilizer.
