DESCRIPTION: Soy Lecithin Powder is derived from soy lipids. It occurs naturally in the cells of the body and consists of 4 phospholipids (phosphatidylcholine, ethanolamine, serin, and inositol). It is a natural emulsifier – able to bind water and oils together.
It enhances the appearance of dry or damaged skin by reducing slaking and boosting suppleness. In formulations, it acts as a moisturizer and consistency agent – giving some viscosity to the formulation. It provides a smooth, creamy consistency to products
