Laneth-15 is ethoxylated lanolin alcohol with 15 moles of ethylene oxide, a nonionic surface active agent with a remarkable blend of branched-chain alcohols and sterols. Due to these natural skin-moisturizing lipids, this ingredient possesses significant emollience.

Laneth-5 is a lanolin alcohol ethoxylate with five moles of ethylene oxide. It is a nonionic surface active agent containing a unique combination of branched-chain alcohols and mixed sterols, the most important of which is cholesterol.

Lanolin Wax is a lanolin derivative (a more dense and solid fraction of lanolin). It is a yellow-to-tan waxy solid with a mild, pleasant odor. Its melting range is close to body temperature, 41-51°C, so it can be used as a natural moisturizing emollient in body lotions.
