Lanolin oil

Lanolin oil (CAS 70321-63-0), the liquid fraction of wool wax, is a refined emollient and lubricant used across personal care, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications. Unlike solid lanolin, its low-viscosity form integrates readily into formulations without contributing waxy texture or opacity.

Liquid lanolin oil delivers moisture retention, surface conditioning, and lubrication in a single raw material. In cosmetics and skincare, it functions as an emollient in lip balms, hand creams, and hair conditioners, improving skin feel and reducing transepidermal water loss.

This material provides effective hydration without occlusive heaviness. Pharmaceutical formulators incorporate it into topical ointments and barrier creams where controlled moisturization and compatibility with active ingredients are required for the final product.

Textile and leather processors apply it as a fiber lubricant and conditioning agent, reducing friction during processing and improving finished material suppleness. It is highly valued for its ability to penetrate fibers and provide long-lasting protection.

In industrial coatings and sealant systems, it acts as a plasticizer and rheology modifier, improving spreadability and substrate adhesion. This versatility makes it a staple ingredient for manufacturers looking to enhance the physical properties of their chemical blends.

Lanolin oil is supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid. Standard grades include cosmetic-grade and pharmaceutical-grade material, with pharmaceutical supply typically conforming to USP or BP specifications for safety and purity.

Technical-grade material is available for textile and industrial applications where purity thresholds are less stringent. Our supply chain ensures consistent quality across all batches to meet the rigorous demands of global manufacturing and formulation standards.
