PEG-5 LANOLIN

Safety grade: A

This ingredient is a processed form of lanolin, a waxy substance derived from sheep's wool, that has been chemically modified to help mix oil and water together. It acts like a bridge that allows normally separating ingredients to blend smoothly.

It is used in cosmetics as an emulsifier to stabilize mixtures of oil and water-based ingredients, creating smooth, uniform textures in creams, lotions, and other products.
