Hydroxylated Lanolin

1. Definition Hydroxylated Lanolin:

Hydroxylated Lanolin is a derivative of lanolin, a natural substance obtained from sheep's wool. It is produced by subjecting lanolin to a chemical process that adds hydroxyl groups to the molecule, resulting in a water-soluble form of lanolin.

2. Use:

Hydroxylated Lanolin is commonly used in cosmetics as an emollient and moisturizer. It helps to soften and smooth the skin, making it an ideal ingredient in creams, lotions, and lip balms. Its water-soluble nature allows it to be easily incorporated into water-based formulations, making it versatile for use in a wide range of cosmetic products.

3. Usage Hydroxylated Lanolin:

When using products containing Hydroxylated Lanolin, it is important to be aware of any potential allergies or sensitivities to lanolin. Individuals with wool allergies may also be sensitive to lanolin derivatives. It is recommended to perform a patch test before using products with Hydroxylated Lanolin to ensure compatibility with your skin. Additionally, it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for use and to discontinue use if any irritation or adverse reactions occur.
