Lanolin Anhydrous (USP/Pharma grade)

🧴 Anhydrous Lanolin (USP / Pharma Grade)

Anhydrous Lanolin is a premium, cosmetic-grade emollient derived from natural wool wax. Highly regarded for its exceptional moisturising and protective properties, it is widely used in skincare formulations to restore softness, support the skin barrier, and reduce moisture loss.

Rich, thick and deeply conditioning, lanolin closely mimics the skin’s natural lipids, making it ideal for dry, rough or compromised skin.

✨ Key Features

• USP / Pharmaceutical grade quality

• Deeply nourishing, long-lasting emollient

• Helps reduce moisture loss and support skin barrier

• Naturally derived from wool wax

• Excellent water absorption and emulsifying properties

• Can be used neat (as-is) directly on the skin

💧 Direct Use 

Anhydrous lanolin can be applied directly to the skin without dilution, making it a simple and effective solution for targeted dry areas.

Common direct uses include:

• Dry, cracked skin (hands, elbows, heels)

• Lip conditioning and protection

• Protective barrier for harsh weather conditions

💡 Due to its rich texture, a small amount goes a long way. Warm between fingertips before applying for easier spreadability.

🧪 Why Formulators Love It

Anhydrous lanolin can absorb over 200% of its weight in water, enabling it to form stable water-in-oil emulsions. This makes it a valuable ingredient in rich creams, balms and protective formulations where long-lasting hydration is essential.
