LANOLAN WAX is a special type of pharmaceutical wool wax, in
which the content of natural esters with low emulsifying capacity
has been reduced by fractional crystallisation at low temperature
without chemical changes. LANOLAN WAX is a complex mixture of
esters, di-esters and hydroxy-esters of sterols and aliphatic
alcohols with medium- to long-chain fatty acids.
