Lysolecithin

Characteristics

• Origin: hydrolyzed soy lecithin (GMO free)
• Lysolecithin gives emulsions a yellowish color and consistency develops after 24 hours.
• Emulsions appear lighter, less greasy, less film-forming, more moisturizing and more quickly absorbed. Can also be used in hair care and bathrooms.

Use

• It acts as a natural emulsifier and increases the stability of emulsions characterized by high solubility in water.
• Best suited for emulsions with a high water content.
• Lysolecithin is an emulsifier for use in warm water, in the fat phase or as a cold emulsifier.
• The most notable difference between lysolecithin and other lecithins is the skin feel. They look lighter, less greasy, less film-forming, moisturize and absorb faster.
• In hair care, lysolecithin has proven itself as a nourishing and conditioning agent in shampoos, hair serums and conditioners.
• An interesting fact is that in shampoos and conditioners, at an acidic pH, the phospholipids from lysolecithin act as cationic lipids and attract the damaged part of the hair to the negatively charged surface of the hair.
• It can be used in bath oils, although the lipid components settle in the bottle and must be shaken.
• Use: for emulsions, we recommend application in the fat phase and heating to 70 ° C, in concentrations of 0.5 to 6%, the best concentration amount of the fat phase is 20-45%, the dose strongly depends on the fat phase, the structure of the fat / oil and the use or absence of gel builder in the formulation.
• It is also possible to use as a cold emulsifier, lysolecithin itself has no textural properties, it is a pure emulsifier in O / W emulsions, lysolecithin can be used as a solo emulsifier 3-6% in combination with a gel builder or stabilizing agent can be used as a co-emulsifier 0.5 - 1% for various types of emulsions in bathroom products such as bath oils, lysolecithin can be used up to 10%
