Lanolin Hydrogenated

Lanolin Hydrogenated: Products and Properties

Lanolin Hydrogenated is a refined lanolin derivative obtained by hydrogenation of lanolin esters and consists predominantly of fatty alcohols. It retains the emollient and adhesive properties associated with lanolin while offering a neutral colour, minimal odour and reduced stickiness. In addition, its emulsifying properties support its use in oil-water systems.

  • Emollient and adhesive properties for skin-conditioning formulations
  • Emulsifying properties for oil-water systems
  • Neutral colour for formulations where appearance is important
  • Minimal odour for formulations where odour profile is important
  • Reduced stickiness for a lighter skin feel
  • Available in pharma/cosmetic and Ph. Eur. grades

Lanolin Hydrogenated: Applications and Benefits

Lanolin Hydrogenated is used in skincare creams, ointments, lotions, lip care products and pharmaceutical preparations. Its neutral colour, minimal odour and reduced stickiness make it particularly suitable for formulations where appearance, odour and skin feel are important.

In addition, its emollient and adhesive properties support skin conditioning and help provide a smooth skin feel. Its emulsifying properties also support formulation stability in oil-water systems. Together, these properties provide a versatile combination of sensory and functional properties for cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations.
