    I have some lanolin alcohol and it has been sitting there for a while so I want to incorporate them into a body cream for my own use. What should I watch out for?

    I have emulsifying wax, stearic acid, Glyceryl stearate, PEG-100 stearate  and Cetearyl Alcohol

    My skin type is drier these day so I’m thinking of a rich rich cream

    Lanolin alcohol forms a very rich and shiny cream and it stabilize emulsion also but the problem is that due to its own colour, it forms off white cream. For dry skin, you can try some emollients or silicone derivatives or else paraffins also work well.
