PEG-75 Lanolin

What PEG-75 Lanolin is & what it does

PEG-75 Lanolin is a water-soluble, ethoxylated derivative of lanolin, the waxy secretion from sheep wool. It is commonly used as an emollient, emulsifier, and conditioning agent, combining the rich skin-softening character of lanolin with improved water compatibility. In formulas it helps stabilize emulsions while leaving a smooth, moisturized finish. It is generally well tolerated, though those with known lanolin sensitivity may prefer to avoid it.
