PEG-75 Lanolin is an ethoxylated lanolin condensate with a mean chain length of 75 ethylene oxide units produced as a fine flake for easier handling and faster dispersion in aqueous systems. Physically, the product is a hard amber/yellow wax with a typical faint, fruity odour.
PEG-75 Lanolin is a water-soluble moisturiser and conditioner with a gentle cleansing action. It can be used as a skin and hair conditioner in a wide range of aqueous preparations such as bath foams, shampoos and conditioners, cleansing hand gels and washing up liquids. These properties are particularly useful in wet-wipe products. It produces clear solutions both in water and aqueous ethanol up to 35% concentration. The product has a long history of safe use and has been classified as non-irritating to both skin and eye in Draize tests, with acute oral toxicity being too low to measure.
