Soy lecithin (liquid)

As an emulsifier, lecithin is commonly used in the production of margarine, chocolate, mayonnaise, and certain ice creams, and is known as E 322.

It can also be used for dermatological conditions such as hair loss, nail growth disorders, and skin changes (eczema, psoriasis, neurodermatitis…), where it is combined with unsaturated fatty acids (omega-3 fatty acids) with the addition of vitamins E and beta-carotene.

In cosmetics, lecithin is used in a range of applications, such as in:

•        creams
•        ointments
•        baby oils
•        lotions
•        lip balms
•        shampoos

Lecithin helps soften and moisturise the skin, making it exceptionally suitable especially for dry skin.

In formulations, it is added at a rate of between 0.5 and 3% of the final product weight. If an emulsifying function is desired, it is added at between 3% and 20% of the final product weight.
