Phospholipid Emulsifier / Skin Conditioning Formula Support

What it is & what it does

Lecithin is a phospholipid-rich ingredient that acts as an emulsifier and skin conditioner.
Phospholipids have an affinity for skin lipids, so lecithin can support softness and improve delivery/dispersal of oil-soluble ingredients. In formulas it bridges skin comfort and emulsion technology.
