Technical Specifications for Lanolin Alcohol: Heat Stability and Mixing Temperature

For Lanolin Alcohol, here are the technical details regarding heat stability and mixing temperatures:

1. Heat Resistance

Lanolin Alcohol can withstand temperatures up to 80°C briefly during the formulation process (such as during melting or emulsification).

• Precaution: Avoid prolonged exposure to high heat. Lanolin alcohol is a complex mixture that can undergo oxidative deterioration if held at high temperatures for extended periods.

2. Recommended Mixing Temperature

The ideal working range is 65–75°C.

• How to Mix: Add Lanolin Alcohol to the oil phase and heat until it is completely melted and uniform.
• If your formula contains other high-melting-point waxes, you may briefly increase the temperature to 80°C to ensure a homogeneous mixture, but you should begin the cooling process as soon as the phases are combined.

Additional Technical Tips:

• Storage: To prevent oxidative deterioration, it is recommended to store Lanolin Alcohol in the refrigerator, protected from light and air.
• Usage: It is typically used at a rate of 1–5% in moisturizers, barrier creams, and lip care products due to its excellent emollient and skin-barrier-supporting properties.
