LECITHIN

Lecithin belongs to the class of phospholipids and is an important cell component of animal and plant organisms. It is obtained by isolating various components from soybeans, among others.

Lecithin is used in numerous food supplements as well as in skin care cosmetics. As emulsifier and surfactant it is contained in many cosmetic products. The refatting active agent has a positive influence on the moisture balance, regulates the pH value and thus supports the natural barrier function of the skin.

Thanks to its high content of natural linoleic and linolenic acid, lecithin is also suitable for the treatment of irritated and sensitive skin.
