Lanolin - an animal-derived wax raw material obtained during the process of cleaning sheep's wool. Lanolin undergoes a dehydration process, hence its anhydrous name. At 20°C (68°F), lanolin is a thick, creamy substance.
Lanolin does not dissolve in water in the traditional sense of the word, but it can absorb water (along with the active ingredients dissolved in it) up to 200% of its mass, forming emulsions. It dissolves well in fats.
Lanolin has the ability to penetrate deeply into the skin. It creates a thin oily film on the surface that isolates the skin from adverse external conditions (dry air, frost, etc.), softens, and smoothens the skin. Thanks to its ability to combine with fats and water, it is a natural emulsifier.
