Emollient and Moisturising Properties

Lanolin combines emollient and emulsifying properties with the ability to absorb and retain water. Its complex lipid composition supports moisture retention and skin conditioning, while its emulsifying properties contribute to stable cosmetic formulations.

Lanolin can also form a semi-occlusive film on the skin, helping to reduce moisture loss while supporting rehydration. These properties make lanolin a versatile functional ingredient in a wide range of cosmetic formulations.
