Lanolin is a natural animal wax obtained by purifying the fat from sheep wool. It has unique properties that make it a valuable ingredient in cosmetology.

Main properties of lanolin

Skin hydration and protection: Lanolin forms a protective film on the skin surface, which reduces moisture loss, ensuring softness and smoothness of the skin. ​

Regeneration and healing: Thanks to its properties, lanolin promotes wound healing, reduces irritation and helps restore damaged skin. ​

Improves skin elasticity: Lanolin helps retain moisture in the skin, making it more elastic and helping to smooth out fine wrinkles.

Uses in cosmetology

Creams and ointments for dry and sensitive skin: Lanolin is used in creams for the care of dry and sensitive skin, in particular in nipple care products for nursing mothers. ​

Hair care products: In hair cosmetics (creams, shampoos), lanolin moisturizes dry hair, makes it more flexible and elastic.

Lip and Hand Care: Lanolin is used in lip balms and hand creams to provide moisture and protect against chapping.

Anti-Aging: Lanolin is used in anti-aging products because it helps retain moisture in the skin, making it supple and smoothing wrinkles. ​
