Pharmaceutical applications

Lanolin is derived from wool grease secreted by sheep. Sheep have been bred for a long time second only to goats and are said to date back to 6000 BC or earlier. Their good-quality and abundant fat are used as nutrients, and wool and sheepskin have been used as clothing and a variety of tools.

One characteristic of lanolin is that it is rich in cholesterol. Cholesterol is a component of human intercellular lipids, is easily absorbed by skin, moisturizes, and is widely used in pharmaceutical ingredients such as anti-inflammatory ointments and baby care products such as nipple cream.

Cholesterol is also used as an ingredient for vitamin D3. Vitamin D is also referred to as the "sun vitamin" and is biosynthesized in the body through exposure to ultraviolet rays. However, because sunscreen is used for anti-photoaging, the ultraviolet rays needed to biosynthesize vitamin D3 are blocked.
Therefore, it is important to supplement vitamin D with supplements. Cholesterol is useful as an ingredient for vitamin D3 to improve people's quality of life.
