Lanolin alcohol is used as a daily chemical.
Lanolin alcohol 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 alcohol. Such emulsions do not crack upon the addition of citric, lactic, or tartaric acids.
