Description
Lysolecithin is a lysophospholipid, a derivative of lecithin, which acts as a natural emulsifier and moisturizer in cosmetic formulas. It helps to stabilize emulsions (mixing of water and oil phases), improves the penetration of active ingredients into the skin, and supports its natural barrier. Lysolecithin also softens the skin, maintains its hydration, and restores cellular membranes. It is used in creams, lotions, serums, and products for sensitive skin.
