LANIS EP LANOLIN & TALLOW GREASE

CATEGORY: LANOLIN & TALLOW GREASE

Lanis EP is an ultra-pure, pharmaceutical-grade anhydrous lanolin that conforms to the most recent edition of the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph Eur). Anhydrous lanolin is essentially water-free wool wax that contains less than 0.25 per cent by weight of water (w/w). It’s produced by refining and bleaching lanolin obtained in the wool-washing process. It is chemically similar to lanolin oil, the liquid fraction of lanolin, and is used as a water-absorbable ointment base. It also forms stable water-in-oil (w/o) emulsions when water is added, giving hydrous lanolin (which contains 25 per cent w/w).

Applications

Lanis EP is yellow with a slight, pleasant odour. It gives creams an ointment-like, rich texture, working as an emollient, skin softening, moisturising and conditioning agent. Because it’s absorbed easily by the skin, it’s an effective vehicle for active substances. It can be used in skincare preparations for both adults and babies, as well as in sunscreen, colour cosmetics, hair care, shaving and soap products. Lanis EP also has pharmaceutical applications in products such as ointments, liniments, creams and lotions.
