    The marine mud is always mined during the winter, to conserve and protect the external environment as well as possible. Respecting the environment will be a primary concern of Manicouagan Sea Minerals, with a view to sustainable development. The thick layer of peat is placed aside to enable cleaner extraction of the clay mud. Once extraction is complete, the layer of peat is put back in place, such that the mining process leaves ‘zero footprint’. It is important to note that the machinery used for the mining is washed and sterilized beforehand. Any chemical lubrication in the hydraulic components is also removed and replaced with vegetable oils. The Manicouagan Sea Minerals Company carries the Manicouagan-Uapishka Biosphere Reserve’s seal of approval for its quality as an environmentally responsible business. For its transformation from a traditional small-scale factory to a top-of-the-line factory in 2010, Manicouagan Sea Minerals invested in a 6,400 square-foot factory. This factory has various processing stations separated by positive air pressure systems to prevent product contamination. Each refining point has its own assigned room; that is, there is a specific room to refine and produce mud and another to refine and produce powders (from sun-dried mud in the greenhouses). It should be specified that the products are not processed, but rather refined in accordance with various regulations and with the specific requirements of the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and healthcare sectors. A laboratory containing an SAS is also equipped for the outsourced sterilization and production of clay-based products, such as the Manicouagan Sea Minerals brand, which is distributed in over 37 countries. Manicouagan Sea Minerals takes the greatest care to maintain high quality and to ensure the absence of external contamination.

    ABOUT LANOLIN

    Lanolin is the name given to refined Wool grease, which is also known as Wool Wax, Wool Fat and Adeps Lanae. Wool grease is a natural wax secreted by the sebaceous glands of sheep covering the wool fibres. It naturally protects the sheep’s skin and wool from environmental conditions, waterproofing the fibres and avoiding moisture accumulation. After rigorous refining processes, lanolin is obtained: a yellow unctuous product, solid at room temperature with a faint characteristic odor. To avoid confusion, the refined, waterless substance is referred to as ‘Anhydrous Lanolin’. In the pharmaceutical industry, however, ‘Lanolin’ is traditionally describes as water-in-oil (w/o) emulsion, with a water content of approximately 30 % by weight.

    APPLICATIONS

    Lanolin is versatile and widely used in pharmaceutical, personal care and industrial products. Lanolin is an excellent emollient, possessing a number of important chemical and physical similarities to human Stratum Corneum Lipids. It has strong emulsifying properties, making it an important ingredient in formulations.

Industrial applications include Leather Finishing, Rust Prevention, Plasticisers, Lubricants, Adhesives and Textiles. Pharmaceutical applications include Cholesterol and Vitamin D3.
