6.73-10.792 | [Uses]
lanolin alcohol is widely used as an emulsifier and emollient in water-in-oil systems. It absorbs a considerable amount of water that is then slowly released for moisturization purposes. Lanolin alcohol is a mixture of organic alcohols obtained from the hydrolysis of lanolin. It may cause skin sensitivity and allergic reactions. | [EPA Substance Registry System]

| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Chemical Properties]
Pale-yellow or brownish-yellow, brittle mass becoming plastic on heating. | [Definition]
Lanolin Alcohol is a complex combination of organic alcohols obtained by the hydrolysis of lanolin. | [Production Methods]
Lanolin alcohols is dissolved in mineral oil. | [Production Methods]
Lanolin alcohols is prepared by the saponification of lanolin
followed by separation of the fraction containing cholesterol and
other alcohols. | [Pharmaceutical Applications]
Lanolin alcohols is an oily liquid used in topical
pharmaceutical formulations and cosmetics as an emulsifying agent
with emollient properties. It is used as a primary
emulsifier in the preparation of water-in-oil creams and lotions and
as an auxiliary emulsifier and stabilizing agent in oil-in-water
creams and lotions. | [Pharmaceutical Applications]
Lanolin alcohols is used in topical pharmaceutical formulations and
cosmetics as a hydrophobic vehicle with emollient properties, e.g. in
preparations for dry skin and dry eyes. It is also used in the
preparation of water-in-oil creams and ointments at concentrations
as low as 2% w/w. The proportion of water that can be
incorporated into petrolatum is increased threefold by the addition
of 5% lanolin alcohols. Such emulsions do not crack upon the
addition of citric, lactic, or tartaric acids. | [Safety]
Mineral oil and lanolin alcohols is generally regarded as an
essentially nontoxic and nonirritant material. However, lanolin
alcohols may be irritant to the skin and causes hypersensitivity in
some individuals. | [storage]
Lanolin alcohols is stable and should be stored in a
well-closed container in a cool, dry place. | [storage]
Lanolin alcohols may gradually undergo autoxidation during
storage. Store in a well-closed, well-filled container, protected
from light, in a cool, dry place. Normal storage life is approximately
2 years. | [Incompatibilities]
Incompatible with coal tar, ichthammol, phenol, and resorcinol. | [Incompatibilities]
Lanolin alcohols is incompatible with coal tar, ichthammol, phenol,
and resorcinol. | [Regulatory Status]
Included in the FDA Inactive Ingredients Database (ophthalmic and
topical preparations). Included in nonparenteral medicines licensed
in the UK. Included in the Canadian List of Acceptable Nonmedicinal
Ingredients. |
