Properties and outstanding uses
Lanette waxes and their equivalents such as Neowax-N are highly valued for their ability to generate smooth, stable and non-irritating emulsions. These waxes can be combined with oils such as Decile Oleate (Cetiol V) to form the well-known "Lanette Cream" or "Lanette Lotion". In addition, they are also used in formulations requiring sterility or high stability.
