Lanolin Oil

Lanolin Oil: Products and Properties

Lanolin Oil is a fluid lanolin derivative obtained through fractional crystallisation of pharmaceutical-grade lanolin. Its emollient properties, high spreadability and low viscosity make it suitable for skincare, hair care and cosmetic formulations. Unlike Lanolin Anhydrous, Lanolin Oil is liquid at room temperature, supporting easy handling and incorporation into formulations.

  • Fluid consistency at room temperature for easy incorporation
  • High spreadability across skin and hair formulations
  • Emollient properties supporting skin and hair conditioning
  • Low viscosity and minimal stickiness
  • Soluble in mineral and vegetable oils

Lanolin Oil: Applications and Benefits

Lanolin Oil is used in moisturising skincare products, oil-based lotions, bath oils and hair care formulations such as hair oils and conditioners. Its fluid consistency and high spreadability make it particularly suitable for formulations where easy incorporation and a lighter skin feel are required.

In addition, its emollient properties support skin and hair conditioning, while its low viscosity facilitates incorporation into a range of cosmetic formulations. Its compatibility with mineral and vegetable oils also provides flexibility in oil-based formulation systems. Together, these properties make Lanolin Oil a versatile ingredient for skincare and hair care applications.
