Description
Lanolin – Exceptional capacity to retain water and protect dry skin.
Lanolin (Adeps Lanae), from a cosmetic perspective, is a natural emollient and emulsifier with a special affinity for the skin, its structure is close to that of human sebum, giving it good tolerance and a long-lasting moisturizing effect. It is especially appreciated for areas with very dry, cracked, or frequently exposed skin to aggressive factors.
It is the natural wax secreted by the sebaceous glands of sheep, which protects the wool fiber against external factors. It is obtained by purifying wool grease resulting from washing raw wool, through a process known since antiquity.
Ellemental Lanolin is highly purified, an essential aspect for a good safety profile, given that less refined forms of this raw material are associated with a higher risk of skin sensitization.
Ingredients (INCI): Lanolin
Technical Characteristics
- Appearance: Unctuous, waxy mass of soft consistency; pale yellow color; discreet, characteristic odor; melting point approximately 36 - 42°C
- Solubility: Insoluble in water, but capable of absorbing large amounts of water (up to 2-3 times its own weight, depending on quality); soluble in oils and fats
- Quality: Highly purified cosmetic-grade lanolin, with an HLB value of approximately 4, suitable for water-in-oil formulations; of animal origin (sheep's wool), unsuitable for vegan formulations
- Recommended Dosage: 1 - 100%, depending on the formulation type and desired emollient effect
Properties and Benefits
- Biomimetic emollient with long-lasting moisturizing and protective effect
- A lipid complex rich in wax esters and sterols
- High capacity to retain water in the skin
- Consistency agent contributing to the texture and stability of the formula
- Structure close to that of human sebum, with high skin affinity
Applications
- Creams and ointments for very dry, rough, or cracked skin
- Balms and creams for exposed areas (hands, elbows, heels)
- Lipsticks and makeup products as a texturizing and emollient agent
- Lip care and nipple care
Formulation Guide
- Melt together with the oil phase of the formulation
- Recommended to combine with other fats and oils for an easier-to-work-with texture, as pure lanolin can be sticky and difficult to apply alone
- At low concentrations (1 - 3%), it provides added emolliency without weighing down the product's texture; at higher concentrations (5 - 10%), it is suitable for formulations dedicated to very dry skin
- Has emulsifying and stabilizing properties in W/O emulsions and inhibits crystallization in anhydrous products based on vegetable butters
Usage Safety and Storage
- Profile: Ingredient with good tolerance in its highly purified form; BHT-free
- Precautions: External cosmetic use; avoid in formulations intended for individuals with known sensitivity to lanolin or wool
- Storage: Store in a closed container in a cool, dry place, protected from light

It is an excellent emollient and moisturizer, rich in ceramides. It repairs dry or sensitive skin and is great in face and body creams.
Exceptional for hand creams! It repairs, protects, soothes, calms, smoothes and softens the skin.
It's my first time using it, but with very good results. I replaced a good amount of wax with lanolin and - although the cream remained softer - the results were better.
One of my favorites, it's a very valuable ingredient, I have had the vegetable version but it doesn't compare.Lanolin stays lanolin. EXCELLENT PRODUCT.
A MUST! A GREAT INGREDIENT. REALLY REPAIRS THE SKIN .NOT MISSING IN MY PRODUCTS.
Lanolin is of very good quality, it is one of the essential ingredients in the baby cream formula.
Thanks to its great emollient properties, it protects and repairs dry, damaged skin. I use it in hand, face or body cream recipes. They are outstanding, absorb quickly and results appear immediately.
I purchased it reluctantly, I was afraid I would smell sheep, but it's great. It doesn't smell and greatly improves the quality of dry skin creams. I recommend
It is a product I have been using for years in the preparation of a moisturizing butter for dry hands. I am very happy with its texture and properties!
An excellent product that can be successfully used in problem skin creams. We have created a formula that has helped moms in the fight against spider veins.
It is a very useful product, especially in the cold season! It repairs dry or sensitive skin, it is great in creams and ointments!
Lanolin I use it in my heel cream. It has a moisturizing, emollient texture! I highly recommend it!
In addition to moisturizing and emolliating, this effective product can also repair small superficial scars caused by acne or other undesirable events. Apply melted lanolin daily and after about 6 months the small indentations will disappear.
An extraordinarily effective emollient! I use it in night lip mask and in body cream for very dry skin ! so it's a very suitable ingredient for such problems
the only minus to this product is the amount of packaging. i would like it at 500g or 250g at least. thanks
My lip balm recipe contains the obligatory lanolin! I find it most suitable, especially in the cold season and in spring, for chapped lips. It can also be used plain, directly on the skin. It was also very helpful during breastfeeding. I also include it in a cream for chapped hands and even in a body balm to prevent stretch marks. In emulsions it is included in the oily phase and melts quickly.
I'd prefer an intermediate weight between 40g and 1kg. Otherwise the quality is good.
Lanolin is a suitable product for dry skin. It softens, moisturizes even very dry skin!
