Lanolin from Croda

Biomimetics
at its best...
Lanolin from Croda
Designed and perfected by nature, lanolin is known to contain
components common to both stratum corneum lipids and the cell
membrane complex of the hair. As such lanolin displays a natural
affinity to both skin and hair and is able to imitate and augment
many of the functions of the lipids found within them.
With this biomimetic functionality, plus a host of physical and
aesthetic benefits, lanolin is a unique and exceptionally versatile
ingredient with proven efficacy in a wide range of personal care
applications.
Cross-polarised light
microscopy has
demonstrated that the
multi-lamella vesicles
formed by stratum
corneum lipids appear
to be identical to
those formed by
lanolin.

“Lanolin…....a still unfolding promise”
(Professor Albert Kligman)
The benefits of lanolin have been unfolding for thousands of years and will continue to be
revealed for many years to come. World leading dermatologists exalt the virtues of lanolin for
both healthy and compromised skin and dismiss the myths and misconceptions relating to
sensitisation. Many chemists have tried but all have failed to replicate the unique properties of
lanolin – a true gem in the crown of the personal care industry.
