Lecithin has antioxidant properties which
are beneficial in cosmetics. For many reasons, lecithin is added to
cosmetics as a nature emulsifying agent, and as a dispersing agent for
pigments. Also, lecithin is naturally found in the body, it works with
the skin to restore moisture.
Hydrogenated lecithin is the lecithin used
in cosmetics. It’s produced by adding hydrogen to lecithin. When
topically applied with a cosmetic product, it softens and soothes skin.
At the same time, it creates a protective barrier that locks in
moisture, while keeping environmental pollutants out. It’s an excellent
addition in products that promote good skin health, including
restorative creams or other topicals that address mature or dry skin
issues.
As an emulsifier for cosmetics, lecithin
works well with most ingredients, helping to synergize all the
ingredients in a variety of skincare goods. Since most cosmetic products
combine water and oil, they need a binder, or an emulsifier to “stick”
together. An emulsifier like lecithin stabilizes the product and
promotes a consistency in cosmetics. It also helps other active
ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin, improving the overall
effectiveness of products.
I do understand well why lecithin as an
emulsifier has not been very popular in commercial creams. It is also
quite a challenging ingredient in home cosmetics. Despite all of these
problems, I am fond of lecithin cream. It makes the skin feel very
comfortable, soft and moisturized. There is no any other type of
ointment that can deeply moisturize dry winter skin in the same way.
Lecithin is a food that is intended as a
supplement. Such cosmetic ingredients are the best. Cosmetics should not
contain any toxic chemicals. Everything we apply to our skin is also
absorbed by our body. Therefore, we should choose only really safe
ingredients for our cosmetic products.
