Lanolin anhydrous is a natural, renewable substance obtained from the multi-stage refining of wool grease (scoured from raw wool). It primarily consists of sterol esters and acts as an excellent moisturizing agent.
No, lanolin lacks glycerides (glycerol esters) and is chemically classified as a wax. It is a complex mixture of naturally occurring esters and polyesters of high molecular weight alcohols and fatty acids.
It is widely used in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, including cold creams, wrinkle creams, anti-crack creams, shampoos, hair conditioners, lipsticks, and soaps due to its superior emollient and moisturizing properties.
We offer cosmetic and pharmaceutical grade Lanolin Anhydrous, fully complying with both USP (United States Pharmacopeia) and EP (European Pharmacopoeia) standards.
The standard packaging is a 50kg net weight drum (other sizes are available on request). It must be stored in a cool, dry area out of direct sunlight, with containers kept tightly closed when not in use.
