Lecithin in skin cream for troubled skin conditions

Lecithin can be found in soybeans, wheat germ, corn, egg yolks, fish, legumes, and peanuts. It is a phospholipid composed of the amino acid choline and inositol. These are fats that are essential in all of the body’s cells, playing an important role in the function of cell membranes, regulating nutrients that enter and exit the cell.

Lecithin is used in Active Manuka Honey cream to act as an emulsifier, binding the oil and honey in a stable cream emulsion, it also helps to hydrate, replenish and repair the skin due to its essential fatty acid content.

When it is used in skin care products, or as an active additive in cosmetics, lecithin is used for softening, toning, and moisturizing, which will promote the restoration of the barrier function of the skin to prevent moisture loss from the deeper layers of the complexion. Lecithin is especially effective in combination with vitamins A, D, F, B1 and B6.
