PEG-75 LANOLIN

PEG-75 Lanolin is made from wool wax that comes from the wool of sheep. It is made by hydrogenation and hydrolysis of the wool which involves breaking down the fatty acids into smaller molecules. These molecules are then manufactured into the cosmetic grade ingredient – PEG-75 Lanolin.

PEG-75 Lanolin is a cosmetic grade ingredient that works as an emollient which helps in hydrating and softening the skin. PEG-75 Lanolin is also a great surfactant and emulsifier that helps to combine water-based and oil-based ingredients in a formulation and form a stable product. In personal care products, this ingredient is highly nourishing and also protects the skin by forming a protective barrier on the surface.

The recommended use level of this ingredient is between 0.5-20%. Levels of PEG-75 Lanolin higher than this can cause side effects such as rashes, itching, and redness.
