NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is committed to providing formulators with ingredients backed by scientific understanding. Ethoxylated Lanolin PEG-75, often referred to simply as PEG-75 Lanolin, is a prime example of an ingredient whose efficacy is rooted in its well-defined chemical structure and properties.

At its core, PEG-75 Lanolin is a derivative created by ethoxylating lanolin. Lanolin itself is a complex mixture of esters, alcohols, and fatty acids sourced from sheep's wool. This natural substance is renowned for its exceptional emollient properties, meaning it can soften and smooth the skin by forming a protective, occlusive layer that reduces trans-epidermal water loss. However, lanolin's natural form can be waxy and not readily soluble in water.

The process of ethoxylation involves reacting lanolin with ethylene oxide. The 'PEG-75' designation indicates that, on average, 75 moles of ethylene oxide units have been attached to each molecule of lanolin. This chemical modification significantly alters lanolin's properties, most notably by increasing its hydrophilicity (water-attracting nature) and thus its water solubility. This transformation is key to its widespread use in modern skincare products.

As a humectant, PEG-75 Lanolin attracts water from the atmosphere and binds it to the skin, providing a boost in hydration. Simultaneously, it retains its emollient characteristics, offering a dual action of moisturizing and softening. This makes it highly effective in combating dry skin and improving the skin's barrier function. The ethoxylated lanolin PEG-75 benefits for skin are thus multifaceted.

In skincare formulations, PEG-75 Lanolin serves multiple purposes. It acts as an emulsifier, helping to create stable mixtures of oil and water in creams and lotions. It also functions as a solubilizer, aiding in the dispersion of fragrance oils or other lipophilic ingredients within aqueous bases. The skin conditioning agent PEG-75 lanolin provides in formulations contributes to a pleasant, non-greasy skin feel, a crucial aspect of product acceptance.

Understanding the science behind PEG-75 Lanolin allows formulators to harness its full potential. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides this ingredient, enabling the creation of sophisticated skincare products that offer deep hydration, improved texture, and lasting comfort for the user. Its blend of natural origin and enhanced functionality makes it a valuable asset in advanced skincare development.
