Lanolin Anhydrous USP refers to a high-quality, refined, and purified substance derived from the natural waxy secretion of sheep’s wool. It is processed to remove impurities, water, and other components, resulting in a pure form of lanolin. Lanolin itself is a complex mixture of esters, alcohols, and fatty acids, and the anhydrous USP grade ensures it contains minimal to no water content. This refined lanolin is commonly used in various cosmetic and pharmaceutical products for its emollient, moisturizing, and protective properties, serving as a skin-conditioning agent and helping to soothe and hydrate the skin

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):

  • Skin Protection: Wear gloves (nitrile or latex) if handling large quantities to prevent greasy residue.
  • Eye Protection: Safety goggles if there’s a risk of splashes (low hazard).
  • Respiratory Protection: Generally not required unless handling powdered forms (uncommon).
  • Clothing: Lab coat or apron to avoid staining fabrics.

Handling & Storage:

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight (to prevent oxidation).
  • Keep containers tightly sealed to avoid contamination.
  • Use stainless steel or plastic tools for handling (non-reactive).
  • Avoid mixing with strong oxidizers (potential fire risk if heated).

Workplace Hygiene:

  • Wash hands with soap and water after handling.
  • Clean spills with absorbent materials (e.g., paper towels) to prevent slips.

Skin Contact:

  • Wash with soap and warm water to remove residue.
  • If irritation occurs, apply a moisturizer and seek medical advice if persistent.

Eye Contact:

  • Rinse gently with lukewarm water for 15 minutes.
  • Seek medical attention if irritation persists (unlikely).

Ingestion:

  • Unlikely to be harmful in small amounts.
  • Rinse mouth with water; do NOT induce vomiting.
  • Seek medical advice only if large amounts are ingested (low toxicity).

Inhalation:

  • Not a significant hazard (low volatility).
  • Move to fresh air if discomfort occurs.

Firefighting Measures

Lanolin anhydrous is non-flammable but may burn if exposed to extreme heat.

Extinguishing Media:

  • Water spray, foam, CO₂, or dry chemical (if involved in a fire).
  • Avoid water jets (may spread molten lanolin).

Special Hazards:

  • Decomposition products may include acrid smoke and fumes (CO, CO₂).
  • Firefighters should wear SCBA in enclosed spaces.

Spill Response:

  • Small spills: Wipe with absorbent material (e.g., paper towels).
  • Large spills: Contain with barriers, scoop into a disposal container.
