Lanolin PEG

Lanolin PEG (Polyethylene Glycol Lanolin) is a derivative of lanolin, a natural wax secreted by the sebaceous glands of sheep, combined with polyethylene glycol. This combination results in a versatile and water-soluble substance widely used in personal care and pharmaceutical products. Lanolin PEG maintains the emollient and moisturizing properties of natural lanolin while enhancing its solubility in water, making it easier to incorporate into various formulations.
