Magnesium lanolate refers to the magnesium salts of fatty acids extracted from lanolin. The magnesium fatty acid salts are used in cosmetic formulations. They act as emulators (change the interfacial tension of liquids like water and oil so that they can be mixed together), surfactants (washing-active substances) and anti-caking agents (as anti-caking agents they prevent the caking of powdery cosmetic products).
