Formulators will find LWS works just as lanolin wax in both O/W and W/O emulsions, hair pomades, conditioners, sunscreens and lip products. Developers will find it works as a thickener, binding agent, and emulsion stabilizer. Additional topical properties recorded include moisturization and skin and hair conditioning.
