Polyoxyl lanolin

Many lanolin derivatives are also commercially available that have properties similar to those of the parent material and include acetylated lanolin ethoxylated or polyoxyl lanolin (water-soluble) hydrogenated lanolin isopropyl lanolate lanolin oil lanolin wax liquid lanolin and water-soluble lanolin. 

The anhydrous petrolatum base may be made more miscible with water through the use of an anhydrous liquid lanolin derivative. Drugs can be incorporated into such a base in aqueous solution if desired. Polyoxyl 40 stearate and polyethylene glycol 300 are used in an anti-infective ointment to solubilize the active principle in the base so that the ointment can be sterilized by aseptic filtration. The cosmetic-type bases, such as the oil-in-water (o/w) emulsion bases popular in dermatology, should not be used in the eye, nor should liquid emulsions, owing to the ocular irritation produced by the soaps and surfactants, used to form the emulsion.
