Lanolin functions as an emollient, helping to soften and moisturize the skin. It acts by forming a protective barrier on the skin′s surface, reducing water loss and improving skin hydration. At the molecular level, lanolin interacts with the lipid bilayers of the skin, enhancing its ability to retain moisture and preventing dryness. This mechanism of action may be a useful ingredient in skincare formulations, where it contributes to the overall moisturizing and conditioning properties of the product. Lanolin has the ability to improve the texture and appearance of the skin by smoothing rough areas and reducing flakiness.
