Isopropyl Lanolate (IPL) is an ester produced by the reaction of Isopropyl Alcohol with refined Lanolin Fatty Acids.
It is a soft, buttery solid that melts at skin temperature and is easily absorbed into the skin. This makes it an ideal skin lubricant in cream and lotion formulations and as a pay-off agent and lubricant in many colour cosmetics. When combined with Acetylated Lanolin Alcohol (ALAC) it gives a superior glossing effect.
Acetylated Lanolin Standard is a derivative of anhydrous lanolin, in which most of the free hydroxyl groups, that are normally present in lanolin, have been acetylated. Physically, the product is very similar to lanolin in appearance, but has a lower melting point and a less tacky feel.
The main uses for Acetylated Lanolin Standard are in mineral oil based products such as lipsticks, baby oils, sunscreen oils and bath oils.
Acetylated Lanolin Alcohol (ALAC) is a lanolin / cetyl / oleyl alcohol blend that has been fully acetylated by reaction with acetic anhydride. It produces a mobile, straw-coloured liquid with a faint odour.
Acetylated Lanolin Alcohol (ALAC) is a water resistant, low viscosity product with excellent spreading properties that finds a variety of uses within the personal care industry.
It can be utilised as a penetrating, non-sticky, water repellent emollient in suntan oils, baby oils and lotions, or a spreading agent in creams where it can reduce the greasy feel of a high oil content product. It also finds use as a glosser in lipsticks and hair sprays.
NK Base SE is a lanolin based emulsifying system that produces a range of highly stable O/W emulsions. It works over a wide pH range making it suitable for hair dyes, depilatories, antiseptics, cleansers etc.
