Description

Ethoxylated Lanolin is a non-ionic surfactant derived from the ethoxylation of lanolin, a natural wax obtained from sheep's wool. This versatile chemical modification enhances the water solubility, emulsifying power, and skin compatibility of lanolin, making it a highly effective and gentle ingredient. It is primarily utilized as an emulsifier, emollient, and conditioning agent across the personal care, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a primary emulsifier and superfatting agent in creams, lotions, and ointments, providing a rich, non-greasy feel and excellent skin moisturization.
• Hair Care Products: Serves as a conditioning agent in shampoos, conditioners, and hair treatments to improve manageability, shine, and softness.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Used in medicated creams and ointments as a non-irritating base that enhances drug delivery and skin feel.
• Baby Care Products: A key ingredient in diaper rash creams and baby lotions due to its exceptional mildness and protective emollient properties.
• Makeup Products: Functions as a stabilizer and emollient in lipsticks, foundations, and mascaras, improving texture and application.
• Industrial Emulsions: Employed as an emulsifier and lubricant in specialty industrial formulations, including leather conditioners and textile softeners.

Quality Control

Our Ethoxylated Lanolin is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets consistent specifications for parameters such as hydroxyl value, saponification value, and pH. While not typically a USP/NF material, it can be produced to meet cosmetic-grade purity standards. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat or humidity to maintain product integrity.
