Lanolin Oil (Liquid Lanolin)

Lanolin oil, also referred to as Liquid Lanolin, is a yellow to burnt orange viscous material produced from fractionated lanolin. Lanolin is naturally found in the wool of sheep and is steam-distilled extracted after the wool has been shorn. Liquid Lanolin differs from regular waxy lanolin as it has a lighter feel and the benefits of being a liquid. This is an ideal moisturizing agent and emollient, widely used throughout the cosmetic and personal care industry. It may also work as a water-in-oil emulsifier, a glossing agent, and a dispersant. It can be found in beauty products such as lipstick, balms, oil-based cosmetics, topical creams for dry or cracked skin, anti-chaffing preventatives, and hair treatments. Liquid lanolin has applications beyond personal-care purposes such as for industrial uses in cleaning solutions, including soap and dishwashing liquid.
