Lecithin 100 ml

Plant-Based Emulsifier Behind Stable Creams and Smooth Blends

Lecithin is one of the most versatile natural emulsifiers, typically derived from soybean or sunflower sources. It belongs to the Emulsifiers section, which brings together components responsible for binding water and oil phases across cosmetic, food and household formulations. The 100 ml size is well suited for home cosmetic making, trial batches and small test formulations when checking how the ingredient performs before scaling up production.

The largest demand for lecithin comes from the food industry, where it works as an emulsifier and stabilizer in chocolate, baked goods, margarine, sauces and processed foods, helping distribute fats evenly and prevent separation. In cosmetics, lecithin is widely used in creams, lotions, balms and body oils, since it not only binds water and oils but also softens the texture, supports better penetration of active ingredients into the skin and improves the overall feel of the finished product. It is also valued in pharmaceutical manufacturing for soft capsules and suspensions, and in household chemistry as a component that softens and emulsifies oil-based formulas.

Lecithin combines well with other emulsifiers, strengthening the stability of the final emulsion. Paired with Glyceryl Oleate, 50 ml, it creates a denser and more stable emulsion system suited to creams with a higher oil content. To improve flow and ease the blending of water and oil phases, formulators often add Tween 80 50 g, which complements lecithin nicely in lightweight formulas. When a product needs extra structural stability and a slight firmness, Candelilla Wax 50 g is often introduced, working well alongside plant-derived emulsifiers.

The recommended dosage of lecithin in cosmetic formulas usually ranges from 1 to 5 percent of the finished product weight, while food formulations typically use up to 1-2 percent depending on the item. It is best added during the oil phase mixing stage at around 60-70 degrees, since heat helps it disperse and dissolve evenly into the fat base. After adding it, mix thoroughly until uniform, then gradually combine with the water phase heated to the same temperature. Store lecithin in a tightly sealed container, in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odors, since the ingredient tends to absorb surrounding smells.

Lecithin is also used in candle and fragrance production as a supporting component that improves the compatibility of oil-based fragrance oils with the base, and in some color cosmetic formulas it helps stabilize pigment dispersions. Thanks to its gentle action on skin, it suits formulas intended for sensitive areas, including facial care products and baby-friendly cosmetics.

Soothing lavender hand butter

Distilled water 60 ml

Shea butter 15 g

Sweet almond oil 10 g

Lecithin 4 g

Tween 80 3 g

Glycerin 5 g

Lavender essential oil 5 drops

Heat the oil phase containing shea butter, almond oil and lecithin together with Tween 80 in a water bath to 65-70 degrees until fully melted and blended. Warm the water and glycerin separately to the same temperature. Slowly pour the water phase into the oil phase while mixing continuously with a hand blender for 3-5 minutes until a smooth emulsion forms. Cool the mixture to about 40 degrees, add the lavender essential oil and blend again briefly. Transfer the finished butter into a clean jar and let it cool completely before use.
