Lanolin

Lanolin oil is commonly used in skin and hair products, and is particularly helpful for very curly hair or hair with a slight wave. It rehydrates, controls and retains skin moisture, and leaves the skin smooth, soft and fresh-looking. Lanolin oil is used as a stabilizer, as an emulsifier in ointments, and in medications such as zinc oxide. Lanolin oil benefits industries as an anticorrosive or a lubricant and is often used in the leather industry.
