Case Study

Ethoxylated Lanolin for Preparation of Cosmetic Oil-in-Water Nanoemulsions

Pereira T A,et al. Molecules, 2016, 21(3): 248.

Nanoemulsions (20-200 nm) are highly favored in the cosmetic industry due to their properties such as high kinetic stability, efficient release of active substances on the skin, excellent sensory and aesthetic aspects. The preparation of nanoemulsions requires the selection of appropriate surfactants, such as ethoxylated (EL) and acetylated lanolin (AL).
· Nanoemulsions containing up to 6.0% ethoxylated lanolin and 2.0% acetylated lanolin remained stable after centrifugation testing.
Stability testing showed that ethoxylated lanolin produced nanoemulsions that were more stable than acetylated lanolin.
· Nanoemulsions based on vegetable oils and lanolin derivatives are nontoxic and recommended for use as carriers for pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
