Lecithin, a natural emollient found in eggs and plants, is hydrophilic and lipophilic. In skincare, it acts as an emollient, emulsifier, and penetration enhancer. With its high fatty acid content, lecithin forms a protective barrier, locking in moisture and shielding the skin from environmental factors. It’s particularly beneficial in barrier repair creams and products for mature, dry, or damaged skin.
