Mosselman Lanolin (8006-54-0) or wool grease is a yellow unctuous grease obtained by pu- rifying crude wool grease. It is more closely related to waxes than to fats because it contains a major portion of esters of fatty acids. Lanolin is used as an ointment base, as a superfatting agent for toilet soaps and in cosmetic creams.
