Lanolin - EP

Lanolin EP (European Pharmacopoeia), also referred to as anhydrous lanolin, is a natural raw material extracted from the excess wool of sheep. The wool is collected and washed, followed by a refining process to produce a solid oily wax carrying a yellow hue and mild characteristic odor. Sheep naturally secrete a substance to protect their skin and wool from environmental factors similar to humans producing sebum. Translated directly to “wool oil” in Latin, Lanolin has been used for millennia as it functions similarly to human skin lipids. Lanolin’s natural properties exhibit moisturizing and soothing capabilities, often used in personal-care applications targeting dry or damaged skin. Additionally, bulk Lanolin EP is commonly included in cosmetic formulations for nursing mothers, topical creams and ointments, and a wide range of everyday soap products. A variety of industries take advantage of this ingredient for its emollient, lubricating, and emulsifying properties.
