Lanette O 1 kg

Lanette O emulsifying fatty alcohol component for stable industrial formulation systems

Lanette O is a fatty alcohol raw material based on Cetearyl Alcohol used in formulation as a structuring and co emulsifier component. This functional ingredient is widely used in production of cosmetic, food and technical products. It is compatible with Olivem 1000, Montanov 68, Emulsifying Wax NF, BTMS and Behentrimonium Methosulfate. Global demand is driven by Food and Beverage, emulsion systems, cleaning products and contract manufacturing. In formulation it acts as a co emulsifier.

Properties and functional role in formulation

Lanette O functions as a fatty alcohol ingredient in the oil phase. When heated it melts and upon cooling forms a stable structure. It is compatible with Xanthan Gum, Carbomer, Hydroxyethylcellulose and preservatives such as Euxyl PE 9010, Phenoxyethanol and Sodium Benzoate. It improves stability and texture.

Properties and result in final product

In finished products it creates dense texture and ensures stability. In creams it prevents separation. In hair care it improves distribution. In cleaning products it stabilizes structure. In food systems it affects texture.

Application

Lanette O is used across industries. In Food and Beverage it is applied in emulsified products. In flavor systems it acts as a structuring component. In cosmetics it is used in creams and lotions. In hair care it is used in conditioners. In SPA it is used in emulsions. In cleaning it is used in cream products. In pharmaceutical and supplement sectors it is used in carriers. In fragrance it is used in aromatic products. In private label it is widely used.

Recipe

Universal cream with Lanette O

Purified water — 650 ml
Lanette O — 60 g
Olivem 1000 — 40 g
Almond oil — 120 ml
Glycerin — 50 ml
Niacinamide — 20 g
Carbomer — 3 g
Euxyl PE 9010 — 5 ml

Water phase is prepared with Carbomer dispersion followed by glycerin addition. Oil phase is heated and combined. Phases are emulsified with homogenization. During cooling actives and preservative are added. The system stabilizes into a uniform cream.

Production stability and scaling

The component shows stable performance during scale up and ensures reproducibility. Process parameters must be controlled. It integrates easily into B2B manufacturing systems.
