Lanolin ricinoleate, the ester between different lanolin alcohols and the ricinoleic acid (12-hydroxy-9-octadecenoic acid) is a substance which is used in cosmetic formulations. The ester mixture acts as an antistatic agent (reduces static charges by neutralizing the electric charge on the surface of e.g. hair), emollient (makes the skin supple and smooth), skin care and hair conditioning agent (makes the hair easy to comb, smooth, soft and shiny and gives it volume).
