Description
Isopropyl Lanolate is the ester of selective Lanolin Fatty Acids reacted with Isopropyl Alcohol. The crude ester is subjected to two
stage molecular distillation where the various different molecular weight fractions of the crude ester are separated.
The mid fraction is carefully removed and then sent through a series of falling film evaporators to remove any unpleasant smells
that may be present.
Application
Easy to apply melting on contact with the skin. Readily absorbed without stickiness. Good lubricant and glossing agent. Lipsticks,
creams and lotions for dry skin, superfatting agent in soaps. Non-greasy hydrophobic binder in pressed powders.
