PEG-75 Lanolin (Solan E) Ethoxylated Lanolin

PEG-75 Lanolin, also known as Solan E or Ethoxylated Lanolin, is a versatile cosmetic ingredient produced by ethoxylating lanolin, a natural wax-like material obtained from sheep's wool. This modification improves its water compatibility and emulsifying properties, making it suitable for a wide range of cosmetic and personal care formulations.

It functions primarily as a conditioning agent, emollient, and emulsifying ingredient, helping provide softness, smoothness, and improved moisture retention for both skin and hair.
