Lanolin

Che cos'è?

Lanolin is a refined derivative of the unctuous fat-like sebaceous secretion of sheep. It consists of a highly complex mixture of esters of high molecular weight aliphatic, steroid or triterpenoid alcohols and fatty acids

A cosa serve?

Lanolin è elencato nell'inventario UE degli ingredienti cosmetici con le seguenti funzioni dichiarate:

• Antistatic

  reduces static electricity, mostly in hair products to keep strands smooth and manageable

• Hair conditioning

  improves the appearance, feel, and manageability of hair

• Skin conditioning

  improves the appearance, feel, and condition of skin

• Skin conditioning - emollient

  softens the skin by reducing roughness and friction between skin cells

• Surfactant - cleansing

  surfactant whose primary cosmetic role is cleansing — the active workhorse in soaps, shampoos, and body washes

• Surfactant - emulsifying

  surfactant that forms and stabilises emulsions of oil and water — without it, creams and lotions would separate
