Functions

Emollient

Fills in the tiny cracks between skin cells to make everything feel smooth and soft. The "silky finish" ingredient.

Emulsifying

Forces oil and water to stay mixed instead of separating into layers. The unsung hero holding your lotion together.

Locks In Moisture

Traditional Use

Lanolin has been used historically as a skin emollient since ancient times, derived from sheep's wool grease. This PEG-modified version was developed in the mid-20th century to improve water solubility while retaining the moisturizing benefits of lanolin.
