Ingredient Info

Lecithin is a naturally derived ingredient that acts as an emulsifier and skin conditioner in skincare products. It helps blend water and oil-based ingredients together and can improve the texture and feel of creams and lotions on your skin.



Benefits

  • Helps create smooth, blended formulations
  • Conditions and softens skin
  • Improves product texture and spreadability

Science: The Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel concluded that lecithin and related phosphoglycerides are safe for use in cosmetics at concentrations up to 50%, based on comprehensive safety assessment. While lecithin can have physiological effects when ingested, these effects are not reproduced through topical skin application.
