Description

Lanolin Alcohol CAS NO 8027-33-6 is a complex mixture of high molecular weight aliphatic and sterol alcohols derived from the saponification of lanolin. This natural, waxy substance is prized for its exceptional emollient, emulsifying, and stabilizing properties, making it a cornerstone ingredient in high-performance formulations. It is an essential raw material for manufacturers in the personal care, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries seeking natural-derived, multifunctional ingredients.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a primary emollient, emulsifier, and stabilizer in creams, lotions, lipsticks, and hair conditioners, providing a rich, non-greasy feel and enhancing skin barrier function.
• Pharmaceutical Ointments & Creams: Used as an absorption base and emollient in topical dermatological preparations, facilitating drug delivery and improving skin hydration.
• Baby Care Products: A key ingredient in diaper rash creams and baby lotions due to its gentle, protective, and soothing characteristics on sensitive skin.
• Lip Care Products: Provides structure, gloss, and long-lasting moisturization in lip balms, sticks, and glosses.
• Hair Care Products: Functions as a conditioning agent and emulsifier in shampoos and conditioners, improving manageability and imparting shine.
• Industrial Applications: Serves as a lubricant, corrosion inhibitor, and processing aid in specialty industrial applications, including metalworking and textile processing.
