Substitute for lanolin – SOFTISAN 649
Lanolin is a natural ingredient that comes with several interesting and useful properties for use in personal care. However, lanolin is a product of animal origin, with a very characteristic sometimes unpleasant smell, intense color and constant discussions about potential allergic reactions. We must not exclude contamination with pesticide residues and, last but not least, the ever-increasing price. Which led to a greater demand for a suitable replacement.
Softisan 649 is a vegan alternative to lanolin, completely free of impurities that can cause skin reactions, provides the creation of a protective film on the skin in numerous types of formulations.
