The history of industrial lanolin purification began at the end of the 19th century. With the development of pharmacy and cosmetology, it was quickly noticed that the effectiveness and safety of this raw material depend directly on the quality of the refining process.
Modern purification technologies differ significantly from the methods used even a few decades ago. This process involves a series of stages aimed at removing mechanical impurities, surfactant residues, compounds responsible for undesirable odor, and other ingredients that could affect the quality of the finished product.
The result of these processes is highly purified pharmaceutical lanolin, characterized by a light color, high chemical purity, and a very good safety profile.
It is precisely within this segment that Golden Lanolin® fits — lanolin developed for the most demanding cosmetic and skin care applications.
In the subsequent chapters, we will present its chemical structure, mechanism of action on the skin, significance in rebuilding the epidermal barrier, and the modern perspective on the safety of lanolin use.
