Grease & Lanolin

The best known uses of refined wool wax products (lanolin and lanolin derivatives) are in the fields of medicine, cosmetics and toiletries, which all take advantage of the natural protective qualities. Lanolin is a key ingredient in some of the world’s most popular cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Without it, they wouldn’t have the highly valued emollient qualities that protect and care for our skin and hair. Lanolin’s uses are not restricted to topical cosmetic or medicinal purposes. Over the centuries, people have discovered that wool wax can also be used for a variety of technical applications, such as lubrication or protective preparations for ferrous metals. The number of potential uses for lanolin has increased dramatically as a result of its use in important industrial processes.
