About this ingredient

Lecithin is a naturally-derived phospholipid complex extracted from sources such as soy, sunflower, or egg yolk that functions as an emulsifier and skin conditioning agent in cosmetic formulations. It helps stabilize oil-water mixtures, improve product texture, and enhance skin penetration of other actives. Lecithin is also valued for its antioxidant properties and ability to support the skin barrier.
