Wool alcohol is the principal constituent of Lanolin. Lanolin is a natural substance derived from sheep's fleece. Anhydrous lanolin is made by extracting sebum from wool, cleaning it, and refining it. This is divided into three parts: wool alcohols, fatty alcohols, and fatty acids.
Wool alcohol is used to treat the following skin conditions-
