About this ingredient

Lysolecithin is a phospholipid derived from lecithin (soy or egg-derived), where one fatty acid chain has been removed enzymatically. In cosmetics, it functions as an emulsifier and skin conditioning agent that helps stabilize emulsions, improve skin penetration of actives, and enhance skin hydration and barrier function.
