On the investigation of ointment base lanolin

Abstract

Lanolin is derived from sheep's wool and is a basic excipient in the form of the ointment. Combining the research of chemistry, pharmacology, technology and study of standardization and treatment, it is clear that the substance is well studied in terms of chemistry and pharmacology. This article will be a scientific ground for the investigation and extraction of lanolin from sheep's wool. Lanolin is a highly pharmacologically active and widely used medicine ointment base that contains a mixture of natural esters, high molecular weight alcohols and fatty acids.
