SSR EP lanolin alcohol (pharmaceutical grade) is a waxy, hard, pale yellow, virtually odorless solid.
Available in granulated (BHT-stabilized) or solid (tocopherol-stabilized) form.
This is the end product of a complex molecular distillation process designed to remove components that impair water absorption properties and significantly increase cholesterol content.

Cholesterol is widely used as an emulsifying agent in cosmetic and pharmaceutical preparations.
It also acts as an excellent moisturizing agent in cosmetic skin care products.
Cholesterol also serves as a basic raw material for the synthesis of vitamin D3 and liquid crystals.
Lanodur is a lanolin wax obtained by low-temperature fractionation of anhydrous lanolin to isolate the high-molecular-weight esters.
This gives this grade a waxy texture.
Cosmetic grade
solid texture (dropping point > 47° C)
Protective/semi-occlusive agent, emollient
Texturizing agent (increases viscosity)
Pesticide content: 3 ppm max
Lanolin oil is obtained by low-temperature fractionation of lanolin to isolate low-molecular-weight esters.
This gives the grade a viscous texture at room temperature.
Reduced pesticide content
Deodorized – Characteristic odor
Protective/semi-occlusive (improves insensible water loss)
Emollient (softens epidermis)
Repairs skin barrier
Texturizing agent (reduces viscosity)
*Shelf life: 2 years (stabilized with tocopherol).
** Organochlorine, organophosphate and pyrethroid pesticides.
Pesticide content: 1 ppm max
Lanolin oil is obtained by low-temperature fractionation of lanolin to isolate low-molecular-weight esters.
This gives the grade a viscous texture at room temperature.
