Lecithin
Common Name(s): Soy lecithin,sunflower lecithin,phosphatidylcholine complex
CAS Number: 8002-43-5
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides natural phospholipid emulsification with barrier-compatible delivery and liposome-forming properties.
Why It's Used: The most biologically authentic emulsifier โ identical to cell membrane composition providing barrier-compatible delivery and liposome formation unavailable from synthetic emulsifiers.
How It Works: Phosphatidylcholine (pc), phosphatidylethanolamine (pe), phosphatidylinositol (pi) mixture provides hlb 7-12 for o/w emulsification. forms liposomal bilayers for active encapsulation. pc/pe/pi composition mirrors cell membrane for barrier-compatible delivery.
Typically Found In: Natural cosmetics,liposomal products,barrier repair,penetration-enhanced formulas

SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Lecithin's phospholipid composition mirrors the composition of the stratum corneum's own lamellar bodies that deliver barrier lipids to the skin surface. this structural mimicry allows lecithin-based delivery systems to integrate seamlessly with the barrier lipid structure, exploiting the same transport pathway the skin uses for its own lipid secretion.
