Details : Lanolin is a natural, organic, renewable raw-material originating from the natural secretion of the sebaceous glands of sheep. Lanolin has been known since ancient times for its skin treating properties. It has been scientifically studied and industrially manufactured only since the end of the last century. Lanolin can be obtained from wool grease which is itself extracted from the scouring effluents obtained during the cleaning of wool. Throughout its life, the sheep naturally give out a fat which soaks into its fleece and stays there until it is washed in the textile factories. The quantity of wool grease as it is called which soaks into the fleece is high. It can amount up to 10 % of the wool’s weight. However, the process used to extract it from wool washing-waters makes it possible to recover a limited amount. Depending on the type of animal, the secreted fat which soaks into the fleece has a different composition. The quality of woolgrease depends to a great extent on the breed of animal and the conditions in which it is brought up. However each woolgrease is free of glycerol wool grease is not a grease in the true sense of the word but more a wax. They also contain cholesterol and have an exceptional affinity for water. . Lanolin is used by humans comes from domestic sheep breeds that are raised specifically for their wool. Historically, many pharmacopoeias have referred to lanolin as wool fat however, as lanolin lacks glycerides, it is not a true fat. Lanolin's waterproofing property aids sheep in shedding water from their coats. Certain breeds of sheep produce large amounts of lanolin. There is an inverse correlation between fiber diameter and wool wax content. Lanolin’s role in nature is to protect wool and skin against the ravages of climate and the environment; it also seems to play a role in skin hygiene. Lanolin and its many derivatives are used extensively in products designed for the protection, treatment and beautification of human skin. Lanolin’s complex composition of long chain esters, hydroxy esters, diesters, lanolin alcohols, and lanolin acids means in addition to it being a valuable product in its own right, it is also the starting point for the production of a whole spectrum of lanolin derivatives, which possess wide-ranging chemical and physical properties. The main derivatisation routes include hydrolysis, fractional solvent crystallisation, esterification, hydrogenation, and alkoxylation and quaternisation. Lanolin derivatives obtained from these processes are used widely in both high-value cosmetics and skin treatment products. Hydrolysis of lanolin yields lanolin alcohols and lanolin acids. Lanolin alcohols are a rich source of cholesterol an important skin lipid and are powerful water-in-oil emulsifiers they have been used extensively in skin care products for over 100 years. In addition to general purity requirements, lanolin must meet official requirements for the permissible levels of pesticide residues. Some very high purity grades of lanolin surpass monograph requirements. New products obtained using complex purification techniques produce lanolin esters in their natural state, removing oxidative and environmental impurities resulting in white, odourless, lanolin. These ultra-high purity grades of lanolin are ideally suited to the treatment of dermatological disorders such as eczema and on open wounds. Modern analytical methods have revealed lanolin possesses a number of important chemical and physical similarities to human stratum corneum lipids; the lipids which help regulate the rate of transepidermal water loss and govern the hydration state of the skin. Cryogenic scanning electron microscopy has shown that lanolin, like human stratum corneum lipids, consists of a mass of liquid crystalline material. Cross-polarized light microscopy has shown the multilamellar vesicles formed by lanolin are identical to those formed by human stratum corneum lipids. The incorporation of bound water into the stratum corneum involves the formation of multilamellar vesicles. Skin bioengineering studies have shown the durational effect of the emollient skin smoothing action produced by lanolin is very significant and lasts for many hours. Lanolin applied to the skin at 2 mg/cm 2 has been shown to reduce roughness by about 35% after one hour and 50% after two hours, with the overall effect lasting for considerably more than eight hours. Lanolin is also known to form semi occlusive (breathable) films on the skin. When applied daily at around 4 mg/cm 2 for five consecutive days, the positive moisturising effects of lanolin were detectable until 72 hours after final application. Lanolin may achieve some of its moisturising effects by forming a secondary moisture reservoir within the skin. Lanolin and its many derivatives are used extensively in both the personal care likewise in high value cosmetics, facial cosmetics, lip products and health care sectors. Lanolin is also found in lubricants, rust-preventative coatings, shoe polish, and other commercial products. It is frequently used in protective baby skin treatment and as a treatment for sore nipples in breastfeeding mothers. Lanolin is used commercially in many industrial products ranging from rust proof coatings to lubricants. Some sailors use lanolin to create slippery surfaces on their propellers and stern gear to which barnacles cannot adhere. The water-repellent properties make it valuable as a lubricant grease where corrosion would otherwise be a problem.
