Potential comedogenic

✨ Role: Lanolin alcohol is primarily used as an emollient and thickening agent in cosmetic products. It helps soften and moisturize the skin by forming an occlusive barrier that prevents moisture loss.

Ingredient type: Emollient

‍⚕️ Safety: Generally safe for cosmetic use. However, it may cause allergic reactions in some people who are sensitive to lanolin.

✨ Vegan: No, because it is derived from lanolin, a substance naturally obtained from the sebaceous glands of sheep.

✨ Note: Well tolerated by most skin types, but should be avoided by people with a history of allergies to wool or lanolin. It is a very effective ingredient for dry skin and cold climates where the skin tends to become dehydrated.
