EWALAN 42-PA is anhydrous lanolin intended for cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications, particularly as a cream and ointment base, emollient, and co-emulsifier. Derived from sheep wool, the raw material is a natural, complex mixture of esters, diesters, hydroxyesters, aliphatic alcohols, and lanolin sterols. Due to this structure, it exhibits excellent affinity for the lipid phase and can support the creation of rich, protective skincare formulations.
EWALAN 42-PA is particularly useful in products designed to protect the skin from drying out, improve epidermal softness, and enhance application comfort. As an emollient-occlusive ingredient, it helps reduce water loss from the skin's surface, supporting its natural hydrolipid barrier. It can also act as a structural component in anhydrous formulations, emulsions rich in lipids, ointments, protective creams, balms, and lip products.
In cosmetic formulations, EWALAN 42-PA can be used both as a functional ingredient, improving the sensory and protective properties of the product, and as a base component in the formulation, supporting the stability and consistency of the system. It is particularly effective where a protective, moisturizing, and long-lasting skin comfort effect is desired.
