Product Description
Hydrogenated Lecithin hydrogenated phospholipid emulsifier for lamellar cosmetic systems
Hydrogenated Lecithin is a hydrogenated form of plant derived lecithin produced by saturating phospholipid chains. This modification improves oxidative stability and resistance to thermal stress. The material appears as light cream or white flakes, granules or powder with neutral odor. Its amphiphilic structure allows interaction with both aqueous and lipid phases. In water it forms dispersions and lamellar structures, supporting stable emulsions and uniform distribution of lipids within cosmetic formulations.
Properties and skin performance
In cosmetic formulations Hydrogenated Lecithin creates lamellar emulsions with smooth and uniform texture. The resulting systems display stable structure and balanced sensory properties. When applied to the skin the formulation spreads evenly and leaves a soft silky finish.
Industry applications
Hydrogenated Lecithin is used in creams, emulsions, serums, lotions and gel systems for skin care and hair care products. It is widely incorporated into lamellar emulsions, liposomal delivery systems and advanced cosmetic formulations. The ingredient is suitable for SPA formulations, professional skincare lines and innovative product development. Due to consistent performance it is widely used in private label and contract manufacturing.
Formula example
Hydrogenated Lecithin 9 g
Caprylic triglycerides 55 ml
Grapeseed oil 45 ml
Jojoba oil 40 ml
Cetearyl alcohol 20 g
Purified water 820 ml
Glycerin 55 g
Preservative system 2 g
Cetearyl alcohol is blended with the oils and caprylic triglycerides and heated until a homogeneous oil phase forms. Hydrogenated Lecithin is incorporated into the lipid phase and mixed until evenly dispersed. In a separate vessel purified water and glycerin are combined to prepare the aqueous phase. Both phases are blended under intensive mixing to form a stable emulsion. After cooling the preservative system is introduced and mixing continues until uniform. The pH is adjusted to a balanced level suitable for lamellar emulsion stability. The final product is a smooth cream with stable lamellar structure.
Hydrogenated Lecithin is positioned for B2B cosmetic manufacturers developing phospholipid based and lamellar emulsion systems. It ensures formulation stability, compatibility with industrial processing and reproducible performance in scalable production.
