H Foster 1875 Limited C-Lanis EP

H Foster 1875 Limited C-Lanis EP is an ultra-pure, pharmaceutical anhydrous lanolin that conforms to the most recent edition of the European Pharmacopeia (Ph Eur). Anhydrous lanolin is essentially water-free wool wax that contains less than 0.25 per cent by weight of water (w/w). It’s produced by refining and bleaching lanolin obtained in the wool-washing process. It is chemically similar to lanolin oil, the liquid fraction of lanolin, and is used as a water-absorbable ointment base. It also forms stable water-in-oil (w/o) emulsions when water is added, giving hydrous lanolin (which contains 25 per cent w/w).

    • Lanis EP is yellow with a slight, pleasant odor. It gives creams an ointment-like, rich texture, working as an emollient, skin softening, moisturizing and conditioning agent.
    • Because it’s absorbed easily by the skin, it’s an effective vehicle for active substances.
    • It can be used in skincare preparations for both adults and babies, as well as in sunscreen, color cosmetics, hair care, shaving and soap products.
    • Lanis EP also has pharmaceutical applications in products such as ointments, liniments, creams and lotions

    The best known uses of refined wool wax products (lanolin and lanolin derivatives) are in the fields of medicine, cosmetics and toiletries, which all take advantage of the natural protective qualities. Lanolin is a key ingredient in some of the world’s most popular cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Without it, they wouldn’t have the highly valued emollient qualities that protect and care for our skin and hair. Lanolin’s uses are not restricted to topical cosmetic or medicinal purposes. Over the centuries, people have discovered that wool wax can also be used for a variety of technical applications, such as lubrication or protective preparations for ferrous metals. The number of potential uses for lanolin has increased dramatically as a result of its use in important industrial processes.
