Liquid Lanolin vs Lanolin Wax: Lanolin Oil, also known as Liquid Lanolin, is a yellow, viscous oil from fractionated, steam-distilled lanolin wax. Regular lanolin is a thicker waxy material. Liquid Lanolin has a lighter feel than lanolin wax. Both varieties can be used as an effective water-in-oil emulsifier.
