Product Introduction
Lanolin alcohol polyether-N is a derivation of lanolin, a natural and versatile ingredient sourced from sheep's wool. This cosmetic raw material is primarily known for its emollient properties and its ability to enhance the texture and stability of formulations. With its waxy consistency, it is recognized for its skin conditioning benefits, making it a valuable addition to various cosmetic products.
Production Process
The production of lanolin alcohol polyether-N involves the extraction and purification of lanolin from sheep's wool. This wool wax is then subjected to a process of etherification, whereby polyethers are chemically bonded to the lanolin molecules. This modification aims to enhance its emulsifying properties and improve its water solubility, making it more effective in formulations that require moisture retention and skin hydration.
Efficacy and Function
Lanolin alcohol polyether-N functions primarily as an emulsifier, facilitating the mixing of oil and water components in cosmetic formulations. It is also known for its skin conditioning ability, promoting moisture retention and improving the overall feel of products. The emollient properties help to form a protective barrier on the skin, preventing moisture loss and contributing to softer, smoother skin.
Application Scenarios
This ingredient is commonly found in a range of cosmetic products, including creams, lotions, and ointments. Its ability to stabilize emulsions makes it suitable for use in both cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications. Lanolin alcohol polyether-N is also utilized in hair care products, where it helps moisturize and condition the hair, improving texture and manageability.
