Lanolin manufacturer: Lanolin alcohols are highly valuable co-products of cholesterol production

During the process of cholesterol production from lanolin (wool grease), lanolin alcohols can be obtained as a natural co-product. To the contrary, lanolin alcohols have their demands within the market as well. This is because they have a unique composition that includes sterols and alcohols with a large chain length.

At CARBOGEN AMCIS, as a well-known lanolin manufacturer, we also ensure that our lanolin alcohols have the same level of attention to quality, purity, and consistency as our primary cholesterol products.

Worldwide Lanolin Manufacturer & Lanolin Supplier 

CARBOGEN AMCIS offers a wide range of Cholesterol products as well as Lanolin Alcohols/derivatives. These high quality products are produced at our Veenendaal site in The Netherlands. As a lanolin supplier, we offers lanolin production, but also sales and worldwide distribution to our customers exclusively from our Dutch site.

Origin and Production of Lanolin ingredients

Lanonlin is extracted during the hydrolysis of lanolin esters in the production of cholesterol. It is carefully fractionated and purified to produce a consistent sterol-rich fraction.

CARBOGEN AMCIS manufactures Lanolin in The Netherlands with traceability and the option of customization according to customer specification.

Applications of Lanolin Alcohols

Lanolin for Cosmetics & Personal Care (cream,…)

Lanolin alcohols have been used as emollients and emulsifiers to improve the texture, stability, and moisturizing abilities of creams and lotions. These ingredients include natural compounds identified to have similar compositions to human skin.

Because of the sterols they contain, lanolin alcohols can also be used as a functional base in specialty mixtures. This is because they have surfactant and conditioning properties.

CARBOGEN AMCIS, as a lanolin supplier and manufacturer, offers to produce lanolin ingredients for various companies. 

Quality and Purity

CARBOGEN AMCIS offers products in the form of lanolin alcohols, which can be categorized as:

• Consistency in quality and reproducibility
• Allergen-controlled and dermally safe material for cosmetics
• Scalable production for industrial and specialty chemical uses

Why They Matter

Lanolin alcohols can serve as a typical example of fully utilizing lanolin. Besides producing cholesterol, another product with high demand in the cosmetics industry can be obtained. This manufacturing strategy signifies the sustainable usage of natural materials.

Lanolin alcohols represent more than just a co-product because they have the role of a functional ingredient on their own and have been relied upon in the cosmetics and specialty market.

With CARBOGEN AMCIS, you can take advantage of high quality lanolin alcohols manufactured concurrently with cholesterol to the same high standards of dependability, purity, and flexibility.
