Lanolin Anhydrous

LANOLIN ANHYDROUS

When you need a deeply nourishing, ultra-hydrating ingredient to promote smooth, resilient skin, look no further than Lanolin Anhydrous.

Sourced from the natural oils found in sheep’s wool, this soft, waxy ester is derived carefully using a gentle scouring and refining process, ensuring purity while maintaining its powerful emollient qualities. This remarkably unique ingredient can bind up to 200 times its weight in water, forming a protective barrier that shields the skin from dehydration and external stressors. Steeped in skin-loving constituents, including lanolin alcohols, fatty acids, sterols, and esters, Lanolin Anhydrous has the power to lock in moisture, soften dry skin, and restore suppleness – in short, an all-round skin saviour.

Lanolin Anhydrous blends effortlessly into skincare formulations or can be used directly on rough, scaly, or irritated skin for immediate relief. Pop yours into rich creams, balms, or therapeutic skincare treatments, and appreciate beautifully nourished and moisturised skin.

• Lanolin Anhydrous provides intense hydration by mimicking the skin’s natural lipids, with lanolin alcohols and fatty acids helping to lock in moisture and prevent water loss.
• The presence of sterols like cholesterol supports skin barrier repair, strengthening the skin’s protective function and reducing sensitivity.
• Its Lanolin esters create a breathable yet effective occlusive layer, shielding the skin from harsh environmental factors while allowing it to retain softness.
• Fatty acids such as palmitic and stearic acid in Lanolin Anhydrous nourish dry, rough skin, improving texture and restoring suppleness.
• The natural hydrocarbons in Lanolin Anhydrous, including squalene, enhance moisture retention and help smooth fine lines by increasing skin elasticity.
• Its waxy esters contribute to emulsion stability in formulations, allowing for better absorption of active ingredients and greater hydration.
• The skin’s ability to produce vitamin D is supported by Lanolin’s cholesterol content, promoting overall skin health and renewal.
• Lanolin Anhydrous deeply conditions dry or damaged hair by sealing in moisture, preventing breakage, and improving softness.
• The emollient properties of Lanolin help to reduce frizz, making hair smoother and more manageable.
