Why Lanolin Anhydrous USP 23 matters
Lanolin Anhydrous USP is critical for creating stable emulsions and enhancing the sensory qualities of products in food and pharmaceuticals. Its natural origin appeals to manufacturers looking for clean label ingredients.
What is Lanolin Anhydrous USP 23?
Lanolin Anhydrous is a waxy substance derived from the secretion of sheep's sebaceous glands. It is primarily composed of esters of fatty acids and long-chain alcohols, making it an excellent emulsifying agent. The anhydrous form refers to the removal of moisture, enabling its use in various applications requiring stable emulsions, such as creams and ointments.
In formulations, lanolin acts as a humectant, providing a non-greasy feel while retaining moisture. Its versatile nature allows it to be incorporated in various products, including lotions, balms, and food items, where it enhances texture and stability without synthetic additives.
