Isopropyl Lanolate is a fatty substance that is used in the formulation of virtually every cosmetic and personal care product type but is most frequently found in makeup products such as lipstick, foundations, blushes, face powders, eye shadow and eyeliner.Isopropyl Lanolate holds together the ingredients of a compressed tablet or cake of powder. When used in lipstick, creams, lotions and aerosol emulsions, it acts as a lubricant on the skin surface, which gives the skin a glossy, soft, smooth appearance.Isopropyl Lanolate is the ester of selective Lanolin Fatty Acids reacted with isopropyl Alcohol. The crude ester is subjected to two stage molecular distillation where the various different molecular weight fractions of the crude ester are separated. Easy to apply melting on contact with the skin. Readily absorbed without stickiness. Good lubricant and glossing agent. Lipsticks, creams and lotions for dry skin, superfatting agent in soaps. Non-greasy hydrophobic binder in pressed powders.Isopropyl lanolate is an ester derived from natural lanolin fatty acid and isopropyl alcohol. It is a fat with the highest solid fat content. Any liquid portion resulted from this reaction is removed via distillation under high vacuum. It looks similar to butter including softness and yellow color it has. It is non-greasy with good spreadability. It is the most versatile product of lanolin, which is being used for almost 20 years.It is used as emollient and lubricant, which is completely made up of fatty substances. It can be a preferred emulsifier than a hydrocarbon base since it is less occlusive and less sticky than carbohydrate bases. It is used as a fattening agent for luxury soaps because of same reason for high-fat content. It is used to decrease resistance to application. This property is particularly useful in case of lipsticks, it also helps to achieve glossy film.  Due to its chemical structure with high molecular weight, in any formula it does not let the static charge create problem. It can be used as antistatic. It is also used as a binder for compact powders. It is also used in other makeup products such as foundation, eye shadow, eyeliner, blushes; creams and lotions.Appearance: it is soft, yellow or amber buttery solid. It is the ester of selective lanolin fatty acids reacted with isopropyl alcohol. The crude ester is subjected to two stage molecular distillation where the various different molecular weight fractions of the crude ester are separated. Application: it is easy to apply melting on contact with the skin. Readily absorbed without stickiness. Good lubricant and glossing agent.

Non-greasy hydrophobic binder in pressed powders.ISOPROPYL LANOLATE is safe and easy to use. The melting is best done in a jacketed vessel, but the material is soft enough to be pumped without being heated. It should not be heated above 80 °C for an extended time. Cool storage is recommended. When stored under certain circumstances, light syneresis might occur because some esters of low molecular weight separate and form a free liquid phase. Homogeneity, however, can be easily restored by melting the material. Water: none; acetone: partially soluble; ethanol, anhydrous: partially soluble.Isopropyl Lanolate is a soft, buttery solid that melts at skin temperature and is easily absorbed into the skin. This property makes for an ideal skin lubricant in cream and lotion formulations and as a pay-off agent and lubricant in lipstick products, which is by far the largest area of use for the product, often combined with ALAC (Acetylated Lanolin Alcohol & Cetyl Acetate) for superior glossi. Isopropyl Lanolate (IPL) is comprised of Isopropyl Lanolate and Fatty acids, lanolin, iso-Pr esters. It is commonly used as Conditioning Agent, Emollient, Emulsifying Agent, Binder, Skin Conditioning Agent, Thickener and Anti Static Agent for a variety of applications in Skin Care, Nail Care, Baby Care, Sun Care, Bath And Body Care and Color Cosmetics.
 

Composition and Description

ISOPROPYL LANOLATE is the solid high molecular weight fraction of the isopropyl lanolate, which is produced by esterification of natural lanolin fatty acids with isopropyl alcohol. The solid content is separated from the rest of the ester mixture by fractional distillation under high vacuum.
Features

ISOPROPYL LANOLATE has excellent characteristics in terms of colour and odour. It has a high homogeneity because most of the liquid components have been removed. It is non-greasy and gives the skin a soft and smooth feeling. Although it is not a strong W/O emulsifier, it has good compatibility with emulsions of this type, especially when a small amount of cetyl alcohol is added.
Applications

When colour and odour is of importance consideration for hand-, sport- and cleaning creams formulation, ISOPROPYL LANOLATE is the right choice of lanolin derivative to achieve an emollient effect or to reduce the occlusive characteristics and stickiness of hydrocarbon bases. It is an excellent lubricant in lipsticks to reduce the frictional resistance during application and helps to achieve a glossy film. Furthermore, it can be used as binder in compact powders and as super-fattening agent for luxury soaps.

Dermatology

Patch tests with ISOPROPYL LANOLATE on healthy subjects did not show any harmful skin reactions. No adverse reaction was reported for the past 20 years of production and application of ISOPROPYL LANOLATE.

Processing

ISOPROPYL LANOLATE is safe and easy to use. The melting is best done in a jacketed vessel, but the material is soft enough to be pumped without being heated. It should not be heated above 80 °C for an extended time. Cool storage is recommended. When stored under certain circumstances, light syneresis might occur because some esters of low molecular weight separate and form a free liquid phase. Homogeneity, however, can be easily restored by melting the material. ISOPROPYL LANOLATE can be stored under normal conditions for at least 2 years.
Solubility at room temperature

Water: none; acetone: partially soluble; ethanol, anhydrous: partially soluble

Description: Paste emollient, lubricant, plasticizer and coupling agent. It is compatible with fatty acid esters, anhydrous alcohols, mineral oil and vegetable oils. It imparts excellent 'slip', pigment dispersion, lubricity and moisturizing properties. It reduces the friction encountered upon application across a broad variety of cosmetic applications.
