Growing Demand from the Cosmetics and Personal Care Industry
- Lanolin has been increasingly used as a complex mixture and self-emulsifying producing agent over time. It finds applications in creams, moisturizers, lipstick, concealer eyeliner, makeup remover, shaving cream, hair removal cream, hair conditioner, and body wash.
