Vegetable lanolin 50 g

A Plant-Derived Alternative to Lanolin for Skin Barrier Support

Vegetable lanolin, 50 g is a concentrated emollient that mimics the softening and protective properties of traditional lanolin while being sourced from plant material. It belongs to the group of emollients for cosmetics, valued for their ability to lock in moisture and form a protective barrier on the skin surface. The main application lies in skincare formulations: hand and body creams, lip balms, products for dry and irritated skin, and nursing balms for sensitive areas. Beyond cosmetics, this type of ingredient is used in pharmaceutical ointment bases and in industrial hand-protection products, where a rich, occlusive texture and strong barrier formation are required.

The 50 g package is well suited for home-based cosmetic making and trial batches, allowing formulators to test a balm or cream recipe before scaling up to larger production runs. Vegetable lanolin blends easily with other emollients and active ingredients. It pairs well with Super Sterol Liquid 20g, which supports lipid barrier recovery, and with the antimicrobial Neomin 25 ml in formulas designed for compromised or irritated skin. For sensitive-skin formulations, it combines nicely with OLIVDERM 100 ml, producing soft, comfortable textures without a heavy, greasy film.

In formulations, vegetable lanolin is typically added to the oil phase during melting of solid ingredients, at around 60-70 degrees Celsius, alongside butters and waxes. Recommended usage levels range from 3 to 10 percent depending on the product type: lighter creams need the lower end of the range, while dense balms and protective ointments benefit from higher concentrations. The ingredient is heat-stable and blends readily with plant oils, waxes, silicones, and most active additives without requiring special dispersion steps.

Store vegetable lanolin in a tightly sealed container, in a dry area at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Under proper storage conditions, it retains its softening properties for an extended period.

Nourishing Cuticle and Hand Balm

Vegetable lanolin 6 g

Shea butter 10 g

Candelilla wax 5 g

Sweet almond oil 12 g

Vitamin E 1 g

Melt the shea butter, wax, and vegetable lanolin together in a water bath at about 65 degrees Celsius until fully combined. Remove from heat, stir in the almond oil and vitamin E, then pour the mixture into small tins or jars. Allow it to set at room temperature for a few hours before use.
